Eric's place is an absolute gem! Right in the heart of East Village it is walking distance to some fantastic restaurants, shopping and of course the metro. The Metro is about a block away and we used this everyday (buy an unlimited weekly card for $29) and it will take you to all the other areas around the city that you want to visit. The photos perfectly represent the apartment. Eric was full of information and gave us lots of restaurant suggestions as well as some great bars. He was very accommodating and was always very fast to respond. When I come back to NetFlix connected so if you feel like just chilling out and watching some TV you can.
