This is my second time in New York and I lived around the east village on both trips. Lots of bars and restaurants around the neighborhood but you don't usually notice any noise. I guess that's one plus with the basement unit.
Easy commute to anywhere due to the subway. Although the subway station is a bit further than I thought. Alternatively, you can take a bus that connects you to the subway station. Bus stop is very close by.
The room itself is ok. It looks exactly like shown on the pictures. I guess I was lucky too because I didn't see the other person that is in the other room and I don't need to wait to use the bathroom etc. The entrance of getting in/out of the unit was sketchy and you can see something unpleasant. Once you are in the room, you don't feel it much and the room feels comfortable.
Overall, it is a very affordable accommodation option if you want to budget your trip on dining or events!
