PRIVATE FURNISHED STUDIO IN THE HEART OF THE EAST VILLAGE

Location was fine, short walk to subway stops. Photos are take with a fish eye so everything looks full size. I know it's NYC but a 4' ceiling height in the upper sleeping area? Please. down stairs was efficient although 6' head room in the restroom for a 6' guy was a bit tight. My boat is more spacious. Clean and neat as a pin and the downstairs bed worked just fine. TV takes a magician but i don't do TV anyway, no loss. Owner is a great guy and was on time for check in. I could recommend this property albeit with full disclosure of the measurements. Have breakfast at the Ukranian place on 2nd Ave. It served the purpose for me, single business guy in town for 2 days, no entertaining.

Good place to stay. Well located (5 minutes walked to the subway astor place.) very clean. Very nice orner.
A bit noisy though (many bars and restaurants around).

My boyfriend and I headed to NYC for a long weekend to celebrate our birthdays. From the suggestion of a friend, we decided to try VRBO instead of a hotel. We are so glad we did! The location of this apartment is so perfect! We truly felt like New Yorkers for four days. The Saint Marks Market is just down the street and open 24 hours. The Orpheum Theater is right around the corner. (Stomp was amazing!) There's a delicious cafe right underneath the apartment, as well as a coffee shop across the street, and a fabulous Ukranian 24 hour restaurant around the corner. Plus, walks to the subway and Katz's Deli is only a few blocks.

As previous reviews stated, Haim, the owner is very friendly and helpful with great communication. The apartment is very small, but very clean. Space was not an issue for us as we basically wanted a "home base" and a place to sleep. However, it would have been nice to know about the extremely low ceilings. I'm 5'9" and had only a couple inches of clearance in the kitchenette and bathroom, but my boyfriend is 6'4" so he had to be hunched over most of the time. There is no way anyone can stand in the loft, unless a small child, kneeling might not even do it. We were there only four days and basically just to sleep and shower, but this may be an issue for those who are staying longer. We appreciated the large fridge for snacks and beverages and the double burner hot plate to boil water for tea. All of the kitchen dishes and utensils we would need were also provided, as well as plenty of linens.

If you want a true New York experience, we highly recommend this apartment! The neighborhood is very safe, friendly, and energetic!
