The place was slightly disappointing compared to what I expected. The pictures are accurate but I wouldn't describe it as cute. The layout is interesting in that you go through a small common space (which also functions as the kitchen) and to the apartment which is definitely way smaller than it seems in the pictures. The place was clean but still felt unkept because of old and bare minimum furniture.
It is definitely one of the best locations in Manhattan if you want to be in the heart of the East Village and close to a bunch of restaurants and bars. And it's very convenient to get in and out of the place. Giving it 4 stars since we didn't really have any hassles or problems with the place itself. But more effort can be put into communication and the aesthetics of the place.
