Awesome location in one of the best neighborhoods in NYC. Mid block and back of the building so super quiet but still smack-dab in the middle of the action. Very easy check in and out. For communication, on a scale of 1-10, the host gets a 14, usually responding in minutes. Smallish place but it’s the East Village so it’s what you expect and it’s everything you need for a pied de terre. And unlike some places I’ve stayed in NYC and elsewhere, it has comfortable furniture and beds, and the apartment and building are clean.
