We arrived at Eric's apartment earlier than planned, but Eric was there waiting. We only saw him when we arrived, but his welcome was warm and inviting. Eric's apartment is slightly smaller than we had thought, but it was very comfortable. The bedrooms were large, airy and light. The living area/ kitchen is not very big, but sufficient for your needs. Who cooks in New York?? Eric allowed us to use his Wi-Fi connection and Netflix TV. Eric recommended a couple of restaurants in the East Village and asked us to contact if we needed and information or assistance during our stay. I would definitely recommend Eric's apartment to anyone.
