John's apartment was great... clean and comfortable. If you're a walker, East 4th St is a fabulous location and a great base from which to explore lower and even mid-Manhatten. I walked everywhere and felt quite safe, even at night. It's about a 10 min walk to the nearest subway, and bus-stops are just at the end of the street. The bedroom is small but there's enough room for bags and hanging clothes. Good for one person but 2 might find it a squeeze for more than a couple of nights. John's knowledge of the area he's lived in for so many years was so helpful and I can't thank him enough for his patience with my incessant questions!
