Diana communicated well and the place is just as her photos depict. The apartment is a one story walk-up that is moderately convenient (about 5 to 8 minutes walk) to subway stations and even closer to bus stops. The location is wonderful regarding being close to everything in the East Village--restaurants, pubs, etc. It's not that bright a place but does have some large windows looking onto some closed-in areas but with some trees visible; however, importantly, the place is spacious--a rarity amongst NYC apartments. Lots of hot water and a nice shower/tub as well. Bed was very comfortable. My daughter slept fine on one of the sofas and Diana provided sheets for that as well.
