Casper was a brilliant host! We had a great stay at Caspers apartment in a fantastic location. Was a very clean & comfortable space. He made my friend & I feel very welcome, at home & was available if we needed him. He brought us extra lovely towels/linen & an air bed which we requested in no time at all! He emailed to make sure we had settled in & asked us if we had everything we needed. We couldn't have been happier with a host & would certainly recommend his apartment & Casper as a wonderful host. On the border of East Village & Gramercy Park, it's a vibrant area full of great bars, cafes & restaurants & boutiques as well as many grocery stores including whole food/organic stores & Artichokes pizza which was a favorite of ours! Ask for the air mattress if your party requires more than one sleeping space as its comfortable & the lounge room has doors to separate it from the kitchen so it became out very own second bedroom! I used earplugs when I was sleeping in the lounge but my friend didn't need them so just depends on your personal noise level threshold! Certainly wasn't an issue! Wifi & great shower big plus!! I'd definitely stay here again & will be recommending Casper & his apartment to friends & family!
