The place is in a great location in the East Village, however there were numerous frustrating aspects of our stay. There are very steep stairs getting to the apartment -- if you have a big suitcase and are traveling alone you will definitely have a hard time checking in and out. We were unsure if those stairs were even up to code. Fixing the stairs shouldn't be too time-consuming or expensive.
Second, the wifi was extremely slow and the TV was showing static. I contacted the host about this and he said the wifi should be 100mb/s, but according to past reviews it seems the slow Internet has been an issue for other guests and wasn't a temporary thing. Even though we were out of the house most of the time, it was frustrating that we couldn't wind down with the TV after a long day.
Overall, we booked this place for the location, so if that's what you're looking for, then you got it.
