We totally enjoyed our stay in Mich's apartment. She was very helpful and responded our questions quickly. The appartment is perfect for three persons. The actual appartment looks exactely like on the pictures. However, the air conditioner wasn't installed anymore in the bedroom but we just opened the window, so it wasn't an issue at all. Also, Mich provided us sheets and towels for our stay.
The East Village is a modern and really nice part of Manhattan with many bars and restaurants. Especially on the weekend the streets are crowed with people. However, we felt always safe walking through the streets even when it was late. Furthermore, we recommend Tompkins square bagels for breakfast.
This was our first airbnb experience but definitely not our last one. We totaly recommend Mich's apartment for a great holiday trip in New York City!
