I arrived quite late at night, and Seth was able to accommodate that which was great. The room was all I needed - clean, great pillows and comfy bed. Same with checkout, Seth was flexible there as well, which was great for me so I had a place to keep my stuff until the plane left.

Didn't see Seth that much, he worked a lot, but when I did he was always friendly and helpful and pointed out some good coffee spots in the vicinity (there are two good espressobars on the same street - B Cup & Everyday Espresso).

The only possible downside was that the bathroom wasn't super-clean. It didn't bother me - I'm totally fine with that and also think that it's the kind of thing that you have to accept when staying in an AirBnb place - you're after all staying IN someone else's home (and in this case, at the same time as that person is living there).

Apart from the apartment, there were some quite nice restaurants in the neighborhood, one of Momofuku's restaurants, and as always Manhattan is walking distance to a lot of good shopping and eateries, and East Village is definitely no exception to that.

All in all, great stay, great value for money. Love to stay there again!
