I just spent ten great days with two friends in Aurea's apartment.
The apartment was great, just as described, cozy and fully equipped for three people to stay in. The washing machine was a particularly helpful detail. The location is also excellent, steps away from the Williamsburg bridge and a few blocks from Chinatown and the East Village. It's two blocks from the subway with great access to the rest of the city. Ming -the cat- was adorable and not at all demanding. Aurea left all ready so we feel comfortable during our stay and was easily reached. I'd definitely come back next time in NYC, much recommended.
