Casey was very helpful and welcoming during my stay, and the logistical aspects of it were great. The listing is almost exactly as described, and the room was as comfortable and cosy as expected. The apartment is bohemian, relaxed and homely, and it gives you a great insight into not only New York life, but the East Village too, which was wonderful. I would stay here for a vacation, but it isn't great for a work trip. For one thing, the bathroom is nowhere near as clean and tidy as expected or represented - the bathtub was dirty and smelled. I was shocked by this, considering the rest of the apartment was so liveable and welcoming. The second downside is that the nearest subway is a 15 minute walk away, and not convenient for getting to and from the apartment easily, so I had to take taxis and walk a lot. However, my stay was quiet and peaceful, and Casey was very friendly.
