The two-bedroom apartment in the East Village was fine for our party of three. It is a walk-up to the second floor, so it was fairly convenient. The apartment faced the courtyard, and was relatively quiet. Marla left a welcome note for us, as well as some thoughtful snacks and beverages. The neighborhood is full of character, and there plenty of good restaurants, coffeehouses, and shops nearby. It was comforting to be in a place that felt more local and residential. Other interesting neighborhoods like Chinatown, Little Italy, and Soho are within easy walking distance. I would definitely rent this place again!
