I have to say that when we arrived we had to wait 5/10 minutes before Joe arrived to welcome us. But then both Joe and William were welcoming and helpful. There is no elevator in the flat. The room is with a queensize bed and a closet. The apartement is not too big but it's good. There are not too many noises and the area is peaceful. East village is very good for the nightlife with a lot of clubs and very good places to eat. My first time in New York, a place to visit once in your lifetime!
