The apartment was great and I would recommend it to anyone staying in East village. AC works great and kept us cool the whole time (one unit in each bedroom). We didn't use the kitchen. The only thing you should be aware of is that this apartment is above a sake bar, so the music and bass can be heard somewhat through the walls and floor at night. I was able to fall asleep easily with ear plugs though. The apartment is also walking distance from lots of great restaurants, bars, and a beautiful park.
