Me and my wife spent two weeks at Mike's place in East Village. The room is very beautiful, very light and bright, the bed is new and more comfortable than ours at home! There was enough space for all our things and clothes, a full body mirror on the door and a night light on the night table. On our arrival there were 4 bottles of water provided as well as a box of tissues. The wifi was working seamlessly at all times. Mike is a polite guy, and was ready give us tips and information on what to do and see when we asked for it, though at times we felt that he might have been little bit bothered by our presence at the house. Mike's girlfriend, who spent one weekend at the apartment with us, is a very kind and hospitable girl, fun to chat and hang out with. The area is all about the East Village vibes and if you like to have fun and go out a lot this is certainly the place to be. Walking distance to Chinatown as well as Union Square, and easily accessible by the subway. Many interesting places to see around the location. The house felt safe.

The weather got very hot during our stay, and so did our room. There is AC in the apartment, but it's located in the living room and the room where we were staying at got very hot during the day. Luckily there is a fan in the room, and by keeping the door open and the fan on at night we could sleep comfortably. Something else to note is that the room's windows are facing the street, so it's very noisy. We brought ear plugs and were quite okay with this, though. Something that we didn't feel very comfortable with was that during our two-week stay we slept in the same sheets and used the same towels the whole time as the host did not suggest to change them. Also the room as well as the bathroom were both very dusty and a bit dirty even at our arrival, and we didn't see any cleaning take place during our stay. Actually we washed the toilet ourselves once, feeling the need to have it cleaner.

All in all we felt like Mike's place would have been well worth the value, if only the apartment had been cleaner and if we had been taken a little bit better care of as guests.
