Ericka (and roommate Steven) are great hosts. 8th and Ave D is a perfect place to enjoy LES restaurants + other amenities at an incredibly affordable price. Clean apartment with clear expectations of our living arrangements. Only 10-15 min walk from 2 subway lines, amazing food (especially the vegan spots + juice bars on 7/8/9th and 1st Ave). Definitely would recommend for those who want Manhattan on a budget. Also, a stone's throw from the beautiful East River and close to Brooklyn if Avocaderia is calling your name.
