Just back from 4 days and 3 nights in the City. We had a GREAT time, and staying at Jack's place in the East Village was a part of the reason. Clean, comfortable, cozy and convenient is how I would describe it. Everything - bars, restaurants, stores, delis - all within walking distance. It sounds silly, but we felt so much more a part of the Village by being in a walk-up, rather than a hotel somewhere. Highly recommend this place for your next trip....
