John's apartment is a cozy and comfortable place, ideal for one person or a couple. John takes care of all questions and inquiries almost immediately. We stayed there for one month in order to get a longterm visit in NY started and for this purpose it was perfect.
The price is decent for this area. Subway is a 10-15 minute walk away, but there are buses very close by.
The area of east village is amazing, with heaps of international restaurants (within walking distance you find, for example, a German, Georgian, Serbian, Vietnamese, Ethiopian, Austrian restaurant), a nice park and friendly people.
Put together, for two people this place is optimal for a short or midterm visit and for one person even for a longterm visit (in the long run it might be a little small for two people, depending on what you are used to).
