My family & I have rented M's lovely apartment in East village. M is an open, friendly person and a very gracious host. When we arrived, she stayed and showed us the entire apartment, how things worked, etc. She even carried my wife's overloaded suitcase up the flight of stairs to her apartment, and she never failed to answer her cell phone. The apartment is exactly as represented in the description. With lots of light, beautifully decorated and all rooms were squeaky clean. Both bedrooms had comfortable bads. M made sure to provide plenty of empty space to store our clothes. The kitchen is nice with all appliances necessary, including a coffeemaker. I particularly liked the fact that each room had it's own A/C unit . We loved the neighborhood with it's many places to eat and the lovely trees that line the street. M, thank you so much for providing us with such a positive experience. You are a great host and I would not hesitate to recommend your apartment to others and hope to stay there for our next trip to Manhattan.
