You pick up the keys from a local 24 hr "key cafe" which avoids having to meet someone in the middle of the night if you happen to arrive late, brilliant. This is a very spacious 2 bedroom with a full, queen and futon type couch and another couch with plenty of linens, in a ground floor flat with full kitchen, bath, stacked laundry, dining table for 4, writing desks and full access to the backyard with dining table and a gas bbq but check with owner on the availability of using it. One large tv in living room and one in bedroom both with cable, wi-fi works. Its in the Alphabet City area of the East Village. Cross town bus stop on the closest corner east of the front door and 12 min. walk to the L line. And, Uber is minutes away from picking you up at your front door. Great walking access to restaurants, bars and movie theaters. Great access to the East River Bikeway and Promenade across the 10th Street overpass just two blocks away. CitiBike rental just up the block at Tompkins Square Park. Quiet neighborhood and not as congested as the Village. We've already booked the apartment again for May!
