Darin is a great host. The room was very well kept and Darin will take extra steps to make you feel at home- be it the welcome kit with candies and cookies, water bottle, or other essential supplies. What was supposed to be a 10 day stay turned into a month-long stay and Darin was quite flexible in letting me extend my stay twice. Access to the en suite bathroom, the kitchen, and washer/dryer makes this place even more practical for long term stays. Lastly, quick and easy access to all the fun spots in the east village and LES makes it a no-brainer.
