Staying with Jhovana was my first experience using Airbnb and honestly I can't imagine having a better host! Jhovana is super nice, very welcoming, and always available to offer help or advise on things to do, places to see. The apartment is very clean and organized and the room I stayed in was perfect. It is spacious with a very comfortable bed, a flat screen TV, AC unit, and fresh towels along with bottles of water, shampoo, soap and numerous other little extras. The apartment is in a great area of the East Village with lots of fun bars around and also some great restaurants. One of the best meals I had was at the restaurant directly underneath the apartment. Plus, Tompkins Park is also just a block away. I highly recommend Jhovana's apartment for a stay in New York. I know I'll for sure be coming back if she'll have me :) Oh, and Ese the dog is great company too!
