Wow, I loved my stay here! This place is in the heart of the East Village, and stepping out the row home and onto St. Mark’s Place is honestly something special and worth the reasonable nightly rate on its own. Even if you don’t love the city—which I do—you will love being so close to so many things. I used to live in New York and really felt like I was back in the swing of things. You are next to historic and iconic institutions (bars, restaurants, bookstores, cafes) in a beautifully kept building with some of old New York’s character. But you are also close to everything you could possibly need, ever. The choices are plenty, and everyone is either vaccinated or wearing masks in New York, or both. It’s something beautiful to see post-Covid Manhattan. I very embarrassingly misplaced a key at one point at midnight on a Wednesday night, and I was legitimately panicking that I’d be locked out, but I called the hosts, and they immediately contacted the very kind and prompt super, who let me in. I remembered that New Yorkers can honestly be some of the best people around :) Anyway, anything you could need is available in this tiny but comfortable space. It felt like home after a few days, and everything was clean, tidy, and orderly without feeling sterile or characterless. I want to come back ASAP!
