Eric was a great host, we had a very smooth and clear communication before the trip and the day we arrived he waited for us in the apartment to show us everything and give us the keys. The apartment is situated in a very cozy and hip neighborhood with subway around the corner. Lots of restaurants, bars and vintage shops in the area. The apartment matched Eric's description very well, We were two couples renting it and with the two roomy bedrooms it worked perfectly. The kitchen is not too big but we didn't spend much time there anyway. If you want a nice apartment in a cool area and want to feel like a real newyorker, I would highly recommend Eric's place in East Village!
