Judith's room is the best I've stayed in in NYC (love it more than 1bdrms on UWS & Williamsburg that I had to myself!) and even better, Lydia is the world's best roommate. I was looking for quiet, comfy, and walkable to NYC's best areas, and this exceeded my expectations. The room is lovely and pretty much a silent paradise thanks to thick walls, apt layout, and facing an interior courtyard -- yet walk down 4 flights of steep stairs and you're in the heart of the East Village. Bed's super comfy, check-in w/a lockbox was super easy, and both Judith and Lydia are super responsive with all info you'd need.
