Positives: Location location location! The East Villiage is indeed a lovely and quiet neighborhood, great for walking around without bumping into tourists everywhere. Elevator is super handy. Loved the view from the rooftop as well! The apartment itself is very clean, comfortable and also quiet; we didn't hear a peep from any neighbors in the building. Marianna has great tips about travel to and from airports. We actually cancelled our airport shuttle based on her advice, and it worked out perfectly! :)
Negatives: If you have long hair, you might want to bring an extra towel or headwrap, as the single towel may not be sufficient. Also bring your own washcloths. "Free parking on premises" is not accurate; it implies a dedicated parking space, which does not exist. You have to take your chances with on-street parking. Lastly, the check-out time of 8:00 am is just way too early, and is the only thing that would keep me from staying here again.
In summary, we had a great stay. Marianna is an experienced host, and super-nice person, who is highly responsive with her communication. If you don't mind the early check-out, this is a great place to make your homebase while you enjoy the wonders of NYC!
