D's place is located in a fantastic neighborhood. We stayed there for just a night, but had a great time. It is impeccably clean, well-decorated in an understated sort of way, and the perfect place for a couple to crash. Although it's technically a studio apartment, we found it to be surprisingly spacious. It's certainly quiet, cool, and well lit. D was headed out of town for the weekend, but went out of his way to meet up with me and give me the keys a day before we moved in. I would definitely stay at D's place again, and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fun weekend in the East Village.
