Hard to pick a better location if you love the East Village. 10 minute walk to many trains, and more food and nightlife than you can fit into one trip just within a block of the apartment. The place itself is clean and comfortable, and while it's small, it's a good size for Manhattan and it was more than enough room for one.
You are right in the middle of the action at Susan's place -- so if you NEED quiet, you may be taken aback by the street noise, but I didn't find it bothersome at all. I also appreciated the desk and monitor - it made remote work very easy! Wouldn't hesitate to book again - thank you!
