Carol's apt was as described in the photos. It felt really homey and was lived in which was different for what i usually stay in but it offered a great experience. The location was phenomenal for anyone who loves East Village for all its nightlife and food. It is a very lively neighborhood. We've never stayed so central to the nightlife but we love East Village so it made eating and going out a lot more convenient. We would recommend Carol's Apt for anyone who wants to explore East Village although public transit is not far if you want to head out to Brooklyn. Carol was very prompt in responses.
