I stayed here for almost 2 months for a medical school rotation. Emch was very accommodating for my budget, and was great about checking in regularly to make sure everything was okay. The best thing about this place is the location! Very close to St Marks, and a delicious Ethiopian restaurant right across the building. Closest subway stations are about a 5 minute walk to the west or south. Also three different hot yoga studios within 8 minute walks, and Whole Foods and Hmart are nearby. The space itself is perfect for one person. In the winter time, it can be a little dry since you can’t control the radiator, and maintaining hot water in the shower requires some fine tuning. If you are a light sleeper, I also recommend bringing comfortable earplugs. If you have a car, it seemed like there was always spots on the street, or close by (near Cooper, about a 2 min walk). If you are in NYC for a food experience, you definitely want to stay here!!
