We loved Donna's place, with all of the quirky and eclectic furnishings - very East Village-y. The bed was comfortable, the A/C worked well, and we literally heard no outside noise at all during our 5-night stay. Love the natural light in the main room, and the bedroom can be as dark as you like, i.e., perfect for sleeping. The building itself is very well-kept and secure. Love the neighborhood - we took the subway a couple times, but mostly walked everywhere (we just prefer being below 14th Street, in general) and there are an embarrassment of riches in terms of restaurants, bars, markets, wine stores, etc. We would definitely stay here again!
