This apartment is excellent! I've stayed in a few apartments in NYC and this place is by far my favorite. It's a nice space that is kept very clean, and my mom and I absolutely loved the patio. When the weather was nice we would sit out there for breakfast and dinner. Vana was very communicative with us, and warned us extensively about the noise level from the music venue downstairs. However, my mom and I had no issue with the music and found that if we put ear plugs in that we could barely hear the music in our rooms. Also, the east village is a great neighborhood as it's much less touristy and has a ton of cute little community gardens all around. Overall it was a great stay!
