I spent 2 magical months, living in the city while I attended college in Union Square. Jennifer's spot is perfectly situated with tons of bars and restaurants all around. Her apartment is smallish and cozy and perfectly New York like. The east village is really vibey area, with lots of young arty people and I often bumped into few celebrities just walking around between the streets. I made full use of the furnished kitchen and cooked most nights, which was great to save money. Having a washing machine and tumble dryer in the apartment was a godsend, I was able to do laundry whenever I wanted. My room was very quite and dark which made it perfect to sleep in and block out the New York City noise. Jen herself was very hands on and was easy to get hold of, if ever I had a problem or query in the apartment. Overall I had a great experience living in the East village, and would recommend Jen cozy apartment to anyone looking to have a proper New York type of experience in an area filled with young interesting locals and away from the gimmicky tourist midtown areas.
