Emma’s apartment was clean, beautiful, unique, stocked with everything you could possibly need for an overnight stay, and right in the heart of the East Village with tons of restaurants and bars right outside the door. It’s also within walking distance to multiple subway stations, which was super convenient for going both uptown and to Brooklyn. Usually when we stay in New York we are constantly reminded of our surroundings with the sounds of traffic and sirens all night, but we couldn’t believe how peaceful and quiet it was in this apartment. You actually forget you’re in the city! Our only complaint was that the radiator (located right at the end of the bed) was really noisy each time it first kicked on, but I think we just noticed it more than we would have normally because it was so quiet otherwise that it was the only noise we ever heard! We didn’t get to meet Emma personally, but she was very sweet and quick to respond through messages. We would absolutely recommend her apartment and will keep it in mind when we return to New York for our next trip!
