We had a fantastic visit to New York while staying at Erin's beautiful East Village apartment. My wife and I were meeting my parents for a long weekend in the city, and this was the perfect alternative to some generic hotel. The apartment is lovely, with the bonus of two bathrooms for both sets of guests (one full, one half bath). Erin was very accommodating and had excellent communication with me leading up to our stay, as well as answering a question I had while we were staying there. I would definitely recommend Erin's place to anyone looking for a great place to stay in downtown Manhattan to get an energetic, authentic East Village experience, balanced with enough comfort and amenities that you don't feel like you're roughing it. We visited in mid May, and had a great time!
