Our host was extremely responsive during the time leading up to our trip and while we were in town. Cristina is super accommodating and very easy to deal with. The apartment is big enough and the fire escape faces the street so you can people watch and get fresh air. It's close to bars and a diverse set of restaurants which is awesome.

She doesn't showcase her bathtub. She has an extremely deep jetted tub which was very relaxing and comfortable. Cristina was also kind enough to mail my I-Phone charger back to me for free when I left it there. I love the East Village Location!

There were a few downsides you should be aware of. None are a big deal, just some things to know. Christina lives here so there is limited drawer space, but nowhere to hang clothes. I'm sure she'd address this matter with you, but you would need to ask about it. The wardrobe and linens vaguely smell of smoke. If you're sensitive to this here's a heads up. Go ahead and pack bathroom toiletries when you come, otherwise you'll have to head to the nearest market and pick some up. Lastly, it is on the top floor of a walk-up. If you are packing heavy you WILL break a sweat!

All in all I would absolutely stay here again!
