I stayed at Emch’s top-floor studio in EV for four weeks and the setup truly could not have been better.
The space had everything I needed as a visitor/remote consultant — a large desk, fast wi-fi, comfortable bed, bathroom, and kitchen with plenty of utensils, cooking tools, etc.
Also, it was very very quiet and I had no problem sleeping without my earplugs.
Most importantly, however, is that Emch’s spot is located in an incredible part of the city, in walking distance (fewer than 10 minutes) to trains that will get you to Brooklyn, UWS/UES, and pretty much anywhere else. The accessibility is really unparalleled. There’s also so much to do in close proximity without even needing to hop on the subway.
Lastly, Emch was a first-rate host who checked in on me to make sure my stay was going well. He was quick to respond to any questions I had, and super knowledgeable about the city/neighborhood (he’s been here for over 20 years!), so if you’re new to NYC definitely ask him about his favorite spots.
The next time I need to stay here for a month or more, Emch’s apartment will be the first I check for availability.
