Me and 1 of my friends visited New York for 7 days and for the entire time stayed at Joseph’s apartment. Not having been to New York before, I can say that it was a pleasure staying at Joseph’s apartment. The apartment itself is big enough for 4 people, with quick wifi and great amenities. The location is in East Village, which upon arrival seemed a little grungy - However we needn’t have worried as this district is a quirky, artsy area with lots of bars and small eateries. I would recommend this area to anyone including families as it is a little quieter than something like Soho. The apartment is approximately a 5-10 minute walk to a subway station which is handy. If you are after a true New York experience this apartment is the place to stay as it is out of the way of some of the bigger tourist areas. Joseph was very quick to respond to our questions and helped us out with some tips on where to do laundry and how to dispose of our rubbish. Thanks Joseph for having us!
