This flat isn't luxurious, but it has everything we needed. 1 bigger bedroom with a queensize bed, table and wardrobe, windows facing 6th street. 1 smaller bedroom also facing 6th streetwith two single beds and smaller wardrobes. A living room with an table for three, a sofa, a TV (not working, didnt bother us), a stereo unit (connetable with our mobile phones and iPods! :-), a small fridge, and a small bath with shower, both facing to the backyard. 1 floor below there is a fully equiped kitchen, shared with another flat. Everything was properly and tidy. We got clean sheets and towels and the cleaning lady even provided new soap and shampoo. Good service!
From an european point of view the flat might feel a little cheap and simple: The windows neither keep wind or noise outside, heating couldnt be regulated (sometimes hot, sometimes off), hot water sometimes was hot, warm or cold. We have been to USA before so thats nothing new. And who cares when you can be in NYC! :-)
The location and neighborhood are absolutely perfect! Best place in NYC! Access to serveral subways stations and always cabs on 2nd or 3rd avenue. Easy walking distance to West Village, Washington Square, New Museum, Little Italy, China Town and Lower East Side - if you manage to get out of the East Village with all the fantastic restaurants, bars and cafes arround. (Try "Mighty Quinns" for it's perfect brisket or indian "Malai Marke" for just anything on their extremely delicious menue. Or take eggs benedict for breakfast at Cafe Mocha. All are less than 50m away and there are plenty more around... :-)
We didnt met Seith, but he was always easy to contact. His answers are quite short but quick. We arrived early and were able to leave our luggage in the flat while it was cleaned, and we left late and were allowed to leave our luggage in the kitchen til evening. Very easy.
Altogether we had a wonderful stay in a tidy and (in NY standard) quite spacious flat with a perfect location. No complaints. We recommend Seith's flat and would book it again.
