Corey and I found the studio to be adorable. If you want to experience the village from the POV of someone who lives in the area, this is the place to stay for sure, highly recommended! This will be at the top of my list of places to stay in NYC for when we come back.
About the space!
1) The studio is a standard studio size for NYC, although it feels spacious because of its style, it's very minimal, very classic NY style white with black accent colors, the studio is bright and fresh and it's fully renovated!
2) S & G's family leave in the building as well, the building is very communal, so it's likely you will get to meet their cousins who are very welcoming
3) Although you will be right if the middle of things in the East Village with tons of bars, restaurants in the Saint Marks Place strip, the place is quiet, once you're inside the building, you can't hear a thing, which is great, you get the best of both world. Their particular block is very classic, quiet and very neighborly.
