My mother and I spent a weekend at Mick & Heidi's place and it was just lovely. The apartment is beautiful and spacious--which is not easy to find the East Village, as I know from living there and having family in the neighborhood. Mick and Heidi have also clearly gone out of their way to provide a great experience to guests, from very detailed notes on the apartment and neighborhood, to the level of cleanliness to all the small details around the apartment. They were also very accommodating, helpful and friendly!
