John's place is a beautiful little slice of a time long gone! Its completely outfitted with furniture and appliances from the 60s or even before! That being said, don't expect cutting-edge 5 star-hotel modernity. But what John offers is just as good, and incredibly unique! I've never seen an apartment this quirky and special in NYC. The location could not be better. The best restaurants and nightlife that the city offers are steps away. This is a perfect place for 1 or 2 guests but any more than that would be a bit cramped. The main living area seats 4 people at most. The dining table seats 3. The bed can be shared by two people. In the winter, you may see mice, but this did not particularly bother me. The only "shower" is a very regal and grand old bathtub in the middle of the living room! It has a shower head that you have to hold in your hand. Also, John is very friendly and resourceful. He is a handyman and can likely help you with any issues you experience. He can also teach you a lot about the history of the East Village in any casual conversation you may have with him. Overall, I really enjoyed my unique stay at John's and hope to be back soon!
