Great location in the East Village! about a 12-15 minute walk to the F & L train so super convenient as we traveled a lot using these. The neighborhood was very safe & quiet. We wandered at all hours of the day & night & had zero issues with safety. Lots of cafes, bars, & a little grocery store all within a few steps away. The place is pretty roomy for NY too. Marie is super kind & waited up until nearly 1am to greet us & show us the place. My husband & I had a wonderful time in NY & after wandering all day, Marie's place was a perfect spot to return to with our aching feet & tired legs. The couch was the best to relax on! Also, the AC works great in the room too!
