I lived all over Manhattan from the late 1980s to the early 2000s so I knew a good value when I saw Daniels listing and I was right. My teens and I stayed in Daniels place for four nights and found it was spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to have a perfect stay. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is easy to use and keep clean. There is a well stocked grocery store close by (be sure to bring your own shopping bags). It was so great to make breakfast for ourselves in the morning before we lit out for the day. If you plan to be there on a Friday or Saturday night, you may want to bring some earplugs because the apartment is in such a hopping’ part of the East Village that it’s a bit noisy into the wee hours. Other nights were much much quieter and I didn’t need to use any. Also, one of the rooms has a skylight so if you want to sleep in a bit, you may want to bring an eyeshades. Daniel is kind and easygoing and was quick to respond to any questions I had.
