This was a perfect place to spend Spring Break with my husband and two teenagers. It was cheaper than a hotel and gave us WAY MORE ROOM to spread out in the evening. It's exactly as described - a one-block walk to a grocery store and a short walk to the "F" train at 2nd Avenue. Plus, there are restaurants galore in East Village with prices a fraction of the tourist destinations. Plus, Daniel is an amazing host. If you are looking for a more authentic New York City experience, I can't recommend this place enough.
