You cannot beat the location! We loved being able to walk to the theater, vintage shops and local eateries all within a few minutes. Cara is very hospitable and welcoming, her assistant greeted us on arrival and Cara was easy to reach via message, too. We enjoyed meeting her friends and cousins during our stay, everyone is welcome at Cara's place, she has a great, friendly attitude. We really appreciated having a spacious room with a private bathroom in the East Village for such a reasonable price. We hope to return.
