We had a very comfortable stay at the East Village apartment. The location was great as we preferred the quieter option (not that anywhere is quiet in NYC). There were plenty of eateries and supermarkets nearby so we had choices as to whether to eat in or out. Even though I had the impression, before I came that the East Village was not as well serviced by the subway as othr areas, it was a short walk to a couple of subway stations. The apartment had everything we required and we felt very secure. Jack was very helpful and responsive when we arrived a little earlier than expected. Overall a great experience.
