Our host went above and beyond when we faced the trying circumstances of our flight being cancelled and rescheduled over a nearly 24-hour period. She stayed in touch and made sure to be there the moment we were finally able to get there. From there she made sure we felt at home at her spacious, clean and secure apartment. It is located in a nice area of the East Village, right around the corner from a grocery store and a less than 10 minute walk to the 2nd Avenue subway station. You are less than a half hour from most of what Manhattan and Brooklyn have to offer. Highly recommended!
