The amenities were wonderful. Extensive cable tv. The refrigerator was stocked with gourmet food that Craig said we were welcome to and all cooking supplies one would need. The apt was convenient and so close to Union Sq subway lines. Up 5 flights of stairs so not good if one can't climb. It was noisy on weekend nights as there was a nightclub type place across the street and all of the East Village is hopping on Fri Sat nights. Sam, who checked us in was charming and helpful and owns a cafe in the neighborhood.
