Emma’s place is small but well-planned. Like the photos show, the window looks out at a grove of trees in an inner courtyard, and the unit’s location on that courtyard means that it’s dead quiet at nighttime. Just stayed in rural Vermont and I swear it’s quieter. The walls must be thick because you never hear your neighbors. The unit is exceptionally well-equipped, with coffee (fresh Lavazzo yet!) tea, coffee filters, soap, paper towels, salt, pepper, olive oil, etc. We usually end up having to run to the store for some missing necessity but not here, and that is rare, let me tell you. There’s even a pretty comprehensive set of cookware although since the immediate area is absolutely boiling with restaurants, bars, coffee houses, pizza places etc., why anyone would cook is beyond me. Never stayed in the East Village and it was a revelation, loaded with energy, safe, and fun. Highly recommend. You do have to initially bring your luggage up 2 flights of stairs but unless you are incapable of that, it is all good! Thank you, Emma!
