Place is very clean, well appointed as in pics. Host very available, but I didn't need him at all. Comfortable beds, pillows, blankets, plenty of shower hot water, nice towels, adequate heat for cold weather, easy check in. Didn't use kitchenette but it's there. Bed in front room is just that, a bed, so can't turn it into a living room - you just have to sit on it. Excellent East Village location. It's a street level , old NYC apt, so the front room has expected street noise (in back bedroom I heard none). Pipes and heating bang and clank as these buildings do, so expect this. Good value, I'd definitely go back.
