I have just spent a week in John's apartment with my 15 year old daughter. The apartment is small and self contained , with living areas divided by curtains, but had absolutely everything we needed: TV , wi fi, well equipped kitchenette, hot shower, fab retro bath, etc. The bed was really comfortable with lovely cotton sheets., and there was enough space to store our things, it was a great crash pad after a day exploring the city. John was a lovely host who was knowledgeable about the area, providing excellent communication before we arrived , and very helpful and friendly while we were there , without being intrusive. The flexible check in and out was also really helpful as we did'nt get in until midnight We loved the East Village with its cosmopolitan atmosphere - lots of bars ,restaurants, shops, and churches! it had a youthful vibe and a real sense of community which is lacking in the more touristy mid-town areas. It was about a 10 minute walk to the subway, but then quite centrally placed for everywhere else.
Thankyou John , it was great to meet you.
