Yannis's apartment in East Village was a very pleasant surprise. This studio on the second floor is cosy and the neighbourhood is absolutely awesome, with so many bars and restaurants everywhere! We loved the East Village. The only problems to me were the entry door and the bathroom door : you lock the entry door only by closing it (instead of, additionally, turning a key) which I find unsufficient if you have value items; otherwise it's fine. And the bathroom door wouldn't close maybe because of swollen wood, but I let Yannis know, so maybe it's gonna be fixed. Overall, great great place to experience NYC, I would recommend it!
