Edward was an excellent host. He communicated to me before my trip to make sure I understood the directions and was all set, allowed me to check in early so I could leave my bag there and not have to carry it around all day in the city, and arranged everything smoothly including the old bed that he was changing out to a tempurpedic bed on the day of my arrival. Towels were provided as well as comfortable microfiber sheets.

I'm rating my experience a full 5 stars because for the price, it was a simple but good place to stay in an excellent location, and Edward was a great host. It was exactly as described. Nothing fancy but an excellent value if you just need an air conditioned place to sleep and shower in a happening and diverse neighborhood. I would consider staying there again if I wanted to stay in East Village on the cheap.
