This was my first non-hotel experience and I loved every second of it. Corey is like an old friend in the city -- always there to offer a suggestion on where to eat, and he makes the check in and check out process a breeze. The location is perfect for experiencing the East Village, and is a quick cab ride from the Upper East Side or Mid Town. The apartment is quite, clean, accommodating and if you like putting, the hallway has a groovy putting green -- rather fabulous! I loved browsing his book collection and his funky slate table sets the tone for the decor. And if that is not enough, I left with the best legs in NYC. His 5th floor walk up is only a problem is you make it so, it never phased me. I'll most certainly be back as a guest of Corey's.
