We really enjoyed our time at Sne's place although we never met him in person (blizzards! go figure). His friend Debbie was able to meet with us for check in. The process went smoothly, and she was delightful. They were both responsive via text for questions and suggestions. Sne's pamphlet was absolutely awesome and chock full of great information. Truly the best we ever seen from an AirBnb host. The location of the apartment was top notch. We have stayed in the East Village quite a bit, and we really liked being right on 2nd Ave. It was so easy to get to Astor Place station, and it was also a quick walk to the LES. There are just so many good places to within a 5 minute walk of the apartment. The only negative for the stay was the bed. It was so uncomfortable. We were both achy in the morning. To be fair, we are in our 40's so you may not have a problem if you're younger. Other than that, I think Sne's place is a very fun option for the East Village.
