We had a fantastic 3 night's stay at Kathy and Peter's apartment. It's a little climb to the top floor, especially with suitcases but it didn't bother us as we are pretty fit and the extra climb to the roof if you fancy it is worth it to sit in the sun with a drink and enjoy the view! The apartment was so clean and tidy and had everything we could possibly need for the little time we spent there including handy instructions on how to work everything. Communication from Kathy and Peter was excellent, encouraging you to ask questions with nothing seeming too much trouble. East Village is super cool - so many amazing bars and places to eat and it was nice to experience a more 'real' part of the city away from the busy tourist spots. The subway is about 10 minutes walk away and makes it easy to get around. We walked into Greenwich Village to get a cupcake from Magnolia Bakery and were within minutes of the famous Katz's Deli which is incredible and a must visit for lunch. Washington Square Park is also within walking distance and is featured in countless films. We were in our element with so much on the doorstep and would definitely stay here again on a future trip to NYC.
