This is a fantastic and spacious apartment, we loved the red brick walls and wooden floors and its setting in lovely East Village was perfect. East Village was a great place to be, loads of creative shops and diverse eateries and bars on our doorstep yet our street was not too noisy at all. We felt like we were in a friendly and vibrant neighbourhood living among locals. The bus was just around the corner and we were within a 10 minute walk to two subway stations so getting places and home at night was never a problem. David was a perfect host! He was there to meet us and let us know the best way to get to the apartment from the airport and made our arrival and our stay extremely easy. He was at the other end of the phone to answer any questions we had and was extremely helpful on our final day - we had an evening flight and he let us keep our luggage in the apartment and keep hold of a key until late afternoon when we set off for the airport. We really felt like this was our apartment for the whole week and would recommend David's apartment and East Village to anyone visiting NY.
