Ike's place was a too small for my parents which I had originally booked for so I ended up staying there. The studio is small and had a slant in the floor which made it a little uncomfortable to walk around (but I understand that buildings in NYC are old and that could be common). The tv channels weren't the best quality and went in and out a lot and the remote did not work. The cleaning materials were left behind from the cleaners prior to and were left in the corner which didn't really have an impact on my stay but with such a small area it wasn't ideal. Lastly the area was descent for young people who want to go out but I wouldn't recommend East Village for couples or older folks. The room was very basic and is ideal for a short layover or an individual who will be in the East Village often otherwise I found it very overpriced.
