Ed's room is the perfect home base for exploring the east village. The location is in the heart of the neighborhood and close to so many good bars and restaurants. Ed and his roommate made us feel very at home right away. The room had everything we needed, with plenty of amenities like spare toiletries and phone chargers. The kitchen, fridge, and bathroom were all available for use. As advertised, the room can be noisy during the night (due to 2nd Ave being so close), and gets sunny in the morning, but Ed was very forthcoming about these qualities and we had no problem with them. Ed's cat was super friendly. We ran into no problems coming back to the room late at night. I'll definitely stay with Ed next time I'm in the area.
