This was one of my favorite Airbnb’s ever! Emch’s prompt and thorough communication were exemplary from start to finish and the apartment was quiet despite being in a convenient and bustling area. I stayed for a month in June and I could see trees and flowers blooming and hear birds singing in the courtyard. The building feels historic but has been well maintained, and the studio has a lot of light. Everything was clean and the huge desk would be helpful for all kinds of work (design, architecture, etc.). The neighbors are friendly and sweet. There are plenty of East Village institutions in the area to support, like B&H Dairy, Dual Specialty Store, and Ray’s Candy Store, and Emch has good recommendations for anything you need. I would definitely stay again.
