  • Reviewer: Susan

    Comments: Sheila and Manny are the types of hosts who make you not only feel at home, but also like family - from inviting us to their local pub with their delightful friends, to having a meal at what must be one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants, not to speak about introducing us to Rocco's which must have the best canneloni outside Italy :) A wonderful spot for those who want to be part of New York life and still have a peaceful place to retire to at night :) The apartment is exactly like on the pictures - charming, newly renovated, clean and well-equipped. It is in a lively neighbourhood with a great cafe for brunch (Cafe Orlin), jazz and good French food (Jules Jazz bar) and some of the best pizza slices right on the corner at Stromboli. There are also some amazing little shops and parks in the area. The perfect location in all aspects. We loved it and we will be back!

  • Reviewer: David

    Comments: Spend a very very nice time by Sheila and Manny. The studio was exactly has expected and advertised. I've been travelling with my wife and our 20 months old daughter. The location was perfect for us. Quiet studio in the middle of East Village. Just a few minutes away from the subway station and Greewich village. Everything needed was available in the studio: wifi, kitchen, washing machine, dryer, ... Sheila and Manny were really helpful at all time. We will definitely stay again there during our next stay in NYC.

  • Reviewer: Rebecca

    Comments: Shelia was great! My parents came to NY for the second time and stayed at Shelia's place on St. Marks Street. The place was so cute and very clean. There was a lovely little outdoor space and my parents couldn't stop raving about the apartment. Sheila was so accommodating and was there to answer any and all questions any time my folks had any. Thank you Shelia for making their stay in the city so stress-free and wonderful!

  • Reviewer: Danielle

    Comments: The stay at Sheila and Manny's was great! They are very thoughtful hosts and provided everything we needed, including necessitites, information and a most warm welcome. The apartment is large (we stayed there with four people in the large main room and didn't mind a small bathroom) and cozy and equipped with everything you could wish for, including coffee maker, washing machine, a large gas stove etc. It is located in the centre of the vibrating East Village with its many restaurants and bars. The apartment is in the back so you hardly notice the bustle outside. It has a small backyard where you can sit outside to have breakfast before walking around Manhattan or taking the Subway (which is very close). We will love to come back and highly recommend staying there!

  • Reviewer: Shannon

    Comments: Sheila and Manny were the best hosts we could have imagined. The apartment is perfect and roomy with its own private entrance and access to an outdoor patio (grill and all.) They have thought of everything you could possibly need including a full list of food, coffee, and sites worth checking out. The location was even better than I thought as we were a matter of blocks from most of our main NYC food destinations and merely and hop and a skip from everything else you could possibly want to do. We had the pleasure of meeting Sheila for a round at her local watering hole and highly suggest to pop by to meet all of her neighbors and friends! These two hosts have really made a home for themselves in their neighborhood and welcomed us with open arms. You have to stay at this St Marks gem! Unfortunately for any other prospective hosts in this city, we will always have Sheila's studio as our first choice. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer, but we will be back soon. -Shannon and David

  • Reviewer: Christina

    Comments: What a perfect place to spend some great days in New York City! Sheila and Manny are very welcoming, helpful, and generous hosts. We really enjoyed staying in their charming studio, which is clean, cozy, and very well organized. It is also very conveniently located in East Village, which made it easy for us to get to our destination during our NYC trip. Sheila is extremely responsive, and I highly recommend her as a host. We went out one evening together in her favorite bar just around the corner and met some of her friends. It was such a nice evening. Thanks, Sheila! We strongly recommend this studio and we certainly would like to be hosted there again. Hope to see you soon!!

  • Reviewer: Vicente

    Comments: From the minute I contacted Sheila the first time on Airbnb, I new I had met someone special! We became (website hidden) friends right away to get to know each other, better. My last day in New York I posted this on my(website hidden)wall: "Normally I don't post this kind of personal stuff, but I felt I had to. This week I met the most incredible woman and his husband. Sheila was our host during my visit to New York and she made this stay the best ever. She is the most affectionate and funny person I have met before. Smart, cute and so open minded. I fell like we've been friends for ever. I wish you the best and thanks for being such a great person" It is a real privilege to be hosted by Sheila and Manny.

  • Reviewer: Manuela

    Comments: We had a very nice stay at Sheila's appartment. The place is very quiet, well furnished, everything needed is there and new! There is also a nice little place outside to have a drink. The area is full of interesting restaurants and shops, not those common megastores or brands one can find everywhere. But most of all, Sheila and Manny were so kind!!!!! We'll be back.

  • Reviewer: Renee

    Comments: The Apartment, neighborhood and Hosts were so much more than we expected, everything was perfect. I will never stay anywhere else when I come to New York from now on. Our hosts Sheila an Manny are wonderful.

  • Reviewer: Nana

    Comments: Staying at Sheila`s was awesome, great place, amazing location. My friends and I were mostly out all day, so we didnt hang with Sheila, but she was always aware that we were ok and having a great time. I dont have words to thank yo Sheila! Gracias!

  • Reviewer: RuthAnn

    Comments: This was,by far, the best location we have ever stayed at. It was everything it was advertised to be and the hosts, Sheila and Manny, were the warmest, most welcoming hosts anyone could hope for.

  • Reviewer: Lisa

    Comments: We really enjoyed staying at Sheila's. She was a gracious host and the apt. was super nice with everything we needed plus more. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Sheila and Manny were generous and kind and it was great fun meeting them. I will definitely come again given the opportunity.

  • Reviewer: Raimon

    Comments: Sheila and her family have been the best hosts that we could imagine. The apartment is like you can see in the pictures and it has all you need. The neighbourhood has a lot of shops, restaurants and the subway is very close and you can go everywhere.The best way to live NYC. Thanks Sheila & manny for your hospitality. We hope see you soon in NYC or.... in Catalonia !

  • Reviewer: Rob

    Comments: The apartment and the location were outstanding! It's in a fun neighborhood, but it's extremely quiet in the apartment at the same time. I definitely recommend it!

  • Reviewer: Shana

    Comments: Shelia apartment was more than what we expected. The apartment was much larger than anticipated and fully stocked with hygiene products, coffee, extra linens and towels and even some milk and other food products. She also had plenty umbrellas handy which were needed on our trip. I stayed at the apartment with my two cousins and a friend and we were comfortable in the apartment. More importantly, one of my cousins had a sudden accident and was in a wheel chair during our stay. The apartment is very handicap accessible with limited stairs, spacey hallways and living space and also a detachable showerhead and tub railings. This is a huge plus because we were worried she would have a lot of trouble getting around but it was no hassle at all. The apartment itself is very clean and modern. We really loved the garden area which had a full set of chairs and table for relaxation and was also very private. Shelia and her husband were amazing hosts and helped with any questions we had. Honestly, our experience was amazing and I am so glad that we had the opportunity to stay in Shelia's apartment.

  • Reviewer: Sandy

    Comments: Had a great time at Sheila's place in the East Village. The location was fabulous, just step out and you are there! The studio was new and clean and had everything you may want to make it like home. Had a great time!

  • Reviewer: David

    Comments: Sheila and Manny were great hosts in every way. Met us and briefed us on the place and offered much information about events in the area. The roomy ground floor apartment has dishwasher, washer/dryer, and all the kitchen appliances you'd need, including our favorite Keurig coffee maker. Closet space, beautiful floors, stylish modern furniture, and a bed to gladden the heart of the traveler. This block of St. Mark's Place is peaceful enough during the days, and the area around it throbs with activity especially on weekend evenings. Classic Lower East Side digs and exceptional hosts.

  • Reviewer: Cathy Et Olivier

    Comments: Merci Sheila pour votre accueil.Votre appartement était propre,bien équipé, au calme dans un quartier très vivant.Nous espérons avoir la chance de pouvoir y revenir!Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine.A bientot.Cathy et Olivier

  • Reviewer: Ulrika

    Comments: De bästa värdpar man kan önska sig! Vänliga generösa och hjälpsamma och flexibla. Lägenheten är jättetrevlig, fräsch och förvånansvärt tyst för att vara NY. Bakgården är verkligen en tillgång med blommande buskar och träd och morgonsol som sipprar ner mellan husen.

  • Reviewer: Pierre

    Comments: L'appartement est joliment aménagé et bien situé dans Manhattan, à moins de 20 mn de métro ou de marche de la plupart des lieux majeurs de NYC, du quartier des affaires à central park, en passant par soho, chinatown ou little Italy. L'aéroport JFK est à 40 mn de taxi. La quartier East Village est vivant, très représentatif de l'idée qu'on peut se faire de New York, cependant la rue et l'appartement restent paisibles. Nous y sommes restés au jeudi au mardi et on y dort bien, même le week-end (cela dit, c'est tous les jours le week-end ici). Sheila et Manny sont très sympathiques et accueillants, il s'agit d'un vrai BnB et les hôtes sont attendus et bien reçus. Merci à vous pour ce séjour agréable, nous reviendrons.

  • Reviewer: Ross

    Comments: Sheila was a fantastic host. We contacted her 3 hours before we arrived to book the apartment, due to a mix up with our hotel. She went above and beyond to help us out, literally pushed the boat out for us to accommodate. The apartment was immaculate and ideally located in the east village. I knew Sheila would be a good host as she shares the same name as my mother haha :) Thanks again Sheila for everything you really helped us out Ross

  • Reviewer: Abbie

    Comments: Our experience staying at the apartment was great! Sheila & Manny were both very helpful and so friendly. Sheila met us when we arrived & showed us around the apartment & where everything was. Looks just like the photos! She went over and above and helped book us some transportation to the airport for a day trip we had & then again for the day we were flying out. The beds were comfortable & everything worked well. The only thing we had trouble with was the hot water in the bathroom but once Manny explained it to us it was easy (you have to let it run a few minutes for it to heat up). Would definitely stay here again & recommend it to everyone :-) thanks for a fabulous time & all your help & recommendations!!!

  • Reviewer: Cindy

    Comments: Our stay at Sheila's apartment was perfect. She was an amazing host. We were celebrating my sister's birthday and were welcomed with warm greetings, flowers and wine. Everything was clean and comfortable and updated.

  • Reviewer: Héloïse

    Comments: It was a truly amazing experience to stay at 61 St Marks place, with Sheila & Manny. We could feel they would of great help if a problem occured, and were very nice to us. The appartment is great and really what we expected (even better). We really enjoyed our stay of one week in New York, thanks to Sheila and Manny. I know who to contact for my next trip to NY ;) Greetings, Héloïse, Alejandra, Garance, Laura

  • Reviewer: Jamie

    Comments: On a scale of 1-10 this is a 20. The accommodations, the hostess and host, and the neighborhood allowed us to not just visit but to live "NYC". The pictures of the apartment did not lie. Plenty of room and a quiet and comfortable place that provided us with everything we needed. Sheila became a friend for life and her family and friends were the icing on top of the cake. The neighborhood welcomed us into their inner circle. We loved every minute of it. We will return !!!!!!

  • Reviewer: Richard

    Comments: One of new yorks great neighborhoods with restaurants cafes shops and handy to subways. The place is quiet and private and newly remodeled and clean. Its got washer/dryer, dishwasher and every kitchen thingy you need. The hosts are terrific. Sheila is a super ny lady who can assist with any issue within minutes of a text/call since they live in the building. The final secret, a private little outdoor teagarden out the back door...wonderful. Because I hope to stay here on future trips to ny I hesitate to encourage you but I must be honest.

  • Reviewer: Nicole

    Comments: Sheila is one of the nicest people I've ever met. I stayed here three nights and four days with my boyfriend and my dog during our vacation and we felt so welcomed. She provides towels, soaps, fruits, some staple foods like coffee and some condiments. The place smelled very clean when we walked in. There were fresh flowers as a center piece of the table. Location is right next to the many restaurants and bars in East Village so we only needed to walk a block or two to get some good food. The dog park is just 2 blocks down so it was very convenient to walk our dog. the place is also very private and quiet surprisingly since it is so near a busy street. I highly recommend staying here if you want great service (Sheila really is the best) and a great location.

  • Reviewer: Sylvie

    Comments: excellent séjour chez Sheila et Manny. L'appartement est trés coquet, propre et bien situé sur Manhattan. Le quartier est trés sympa , vivant , on y trouve de trés bons restaurants. sheila est trés investie, soucieuse du confort de ses hôtes. Sa famille s'est montrée adorable à notre égard. A recommander sans aucune restriction!

  • Reviewer: Alice

    Comments: L'appartement est tout à fait conforme aux photos et commentaires. Le quartier est vivant, très agréable et il y a une multitude de restaurants possibles pour se restaurer. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Sheila qui avaient prévu quelques attentions à notre arrivée : fruits frais, nécessaires pour le petit déjeuner... Sheila et Manny sont très chaleureux, disponibles et de bons conseils pour les visites à faire ! Je recommande cette annonce sans aucune hésitation, l'appartement peut tout à fait convenir pour une famille de 4 personnes (nous étions en famille avec 2 ados). Les stations de métro sont facilement et rapidement accessibles depuis l'appartement. Il y aussi des supérettes ou l'on trouve tout le nécessaire. Un grand merci à Sheila et Manny sans qui notre voyage n'aurait pas été aussi parfait !

  • Reviewer: Jes

    Comments: Vi blev mødt af Sheila og hendes familie ved døren til ejendommen, meget søde mennesker. Shiela fulgte os til lejligheden som var lige så fin som på billederne og beskrivelsen, en helt perfekt "rede" for et besøg i byernes by New York. Vi følte os meget godt behandlet og vil helt klart komme tilbage hvis vi skulle til NYC - stor anbefaling til alle der skal have et sted i NYC. Kærlig hilsen Familien Laursen

  • Reviewer: Matteo

    Comments: Stay by Sheila and Manny ( her husband ) was like being at home . Are two wonderful people . They advised us where to go and even offered a wonderful dinner at a restaurant reviewed by the ny times. I hope that we can be reunited one day . I'll recommend this apartment to my friends interested in spending a holiday in Manhattan. Perfect!

  • Reviewer: Sandra

    Comments: Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by Shelia waiting for us in the rain, we were made to feel like family from the word go everything about the apartment was as we expected , including the personal touch of flowers wine & fruit making us feel at home right away. The village atmosphere was more than we expected felt safe to wander around at night, comfortable walking distance to Astor Place for metro for both Uptown & Downtown lines. There were many restaurants & supermarkets for food choices everything was so easy as Australian's we feel it was good value for money.

  • Reviewer: Lauren

    Comments: We had an amazing time staying at Sheila's listing! The location was perfect for us since we spent most of our time around Soho. Upon arrival Sheila's son let us in and soon Sheila stopped by to let us know where everything was. The day we arrived was my birthday and she left cupcakes and flowers for us! She was a great host and promptly replied to any of our messages. This studio was a perfect fit for our family of 3. We will try to stay here the next time we are in the city!

  • Reviewer: Simona

    Comments: Accoglienza ottima! L'alloggio molto carino e confortevole, ampio, estremamente pulito e recentemente ristrutturato. Era dotato di tutto il necessario per cucinare e hanno fornito non solo gli asciugamani ma anche tutti i prodotti per l'igiene personale. Dotato di lavastoviglie, lavatrice e asciugatrice. Il quartiere caratteristico, con molti locali per la sera e strategico per visitare Manahattan up & down. I proprietari, Sheila e Manny, sono stati sempre molto disponibili nel darci indicazioni e suggerimenti e molto friendly!! Assolutamente da consigliare.

  • Reviewer: Olivia

    Comments: Sheila's studio is perfect! My boyfriend and I stayed here for two weeks over Christmas 2014, and were super happy with the apartment. Its cozy, clean, quiet and in a great spot! Upon arrival, I was welcomed by Sheila and immediately felt at home. There were flowers, basics in the fridge and cupboards (like eggs milk and cereal) and extra towels/sheets if you need. The subway station (we walked to Astor Place) was just at the end of the street- about a 3-5 minute walk. The neighbourhood is buzzing with bars, restaurants and feels young and hip. The apartment itself (like other guests have noted) is at the back of the building, so it is super quiet and easy to sleep well in. Sheila was easily contactable throughout our whole stay, and kindly invited us to her annual Christmas party- which was a lot of fun! For Josh's birthday we received wine and chocolates- Sheila really is the perfect host! Thank you Sheila (and Manny!)- we honestly felt like the luckiest people in NYC staying at your place. Olivia and Josh (Melbourne, Australia)

Before finish this post I have to take my hat off to Sheila and Manny . thanks for everything.

  • Reviewer: Janet

    Comments: I’ve been back home for a week after spending four (4!) wonderful weeks in New York at Sheila and Manny’s airbnb. This was my first airbnb experience – and it couldn’t have been better! Sheila and Manny’s airbnb may be the best secret in New York City! It’s so incredibly quiet, comfortable, convenient – and it has all the amenities (including washer and dryer!) – plus it’s in one of NYC’s most fun neighborhoods. And Sheila and Manny are wonderful, generous hosts. Sheila and Manny’s was recommended to me by my friend Ulrika W. from Sweden who usually stays there when she travels to New York with her family. I’m from New York myself and lived in this neighborhood in the East Village many years ago. Now I live in Europe, but I’m so happy to have found Sheila and Manny’s – which really felt like my own home away from home. I can’t wait to stay there again!

  • Reviewer: Joan

    Comments: Sheila, What a delightful getaway you offer for the weary traveler! This apartment truly offers everything one would need and more! We found the space to be just as you have advertised...clean, modern and quiet! I couldn't believe the building was on such a happening street as quiet as it was inside! There were plenty of towels, blankets and pillows and then with all the extra touches, we really felt like guests in your home rather than customers. I would highly recommend this Air BnB experience to anyone. Joan & Ed Merchlinsky

  • Reviewer: Eva

    Comments: Sheila and Manny have been wonderfull hosts. They were very active in the commmunication. What was also al plus was that they could us great tips about the area, a nice diner, restaurants. And even a tip for gospel also we were not fit enough to make it. I thank them for their tips. The apartment was reallys nice. Everything besides the bathroom is in one space. The only thing was that there is not much light since it is in the basement. We had a great time there. Thanks

  • Reviewer: Cristina

    Comments: Soggiorno perfetto, casa pulita, accogliente e con tutti gli accessori necessari. L'appartamento è a pochi minuti a piedi dalla Metro, situato in un quartiere molto carino, pieno di vita e di locali diversi, ma comunque molto silenzioso. L'accoglienza dell'Host è stata impeccabile e i suoi consigli sui locali da provare sono stati molto preziosi, ci siamo goduti l'esperienza newyorkese fino in fondo!

  • Reviewer: Nancy

    Comments: We had a wonderful time. The apartment was super clean, bed comfy and very quiet. We especially loved the flowers, wine and bowl of fruit. What a great surprise! We also enjoyed some of the restaurants she recommended for us - very helpful. Loved the invite for St. Patrick's Day dinner. Very hospitable and welcoming. Felt very safe.

  • Reviewer: Ana

    Comments: My family and I stayed at Sheila and Manny's studio for a week and we absolutely loved it. It's just as described, super clean and with everything you need. We appreciated very much the little extra touches such as the beautiful flowers, the coffee, wine, fruit, etc. Even though it's located a very busy street with lots of bars and restaurants, it was really quiet at night because it leads to the back yard. Sheila and her family are wonderful people and we are very happy we chose their place and got to meet them and had an evening with them. We couldn't have had a better NY experience! Thanks S&M!

  • Reviewer: Jo

    Comments: If you are looking for a singular Lower East Side experience then this is the place to stay! Sheila and Manny are fantastic hosts who were so generous and welcoming. As part of the close-knit St Marks community, their knowledge of the area was boundless. The apartment was very comfortable, spotless and quiet with lots of touches to make our stay special. Would definitely recommend.

  • Reviewer: Veronique

    Comments: Sheila et Manny nous ont gentillement accueillis. Nous avons appréciés leur discrétion. Appartement confortable et très bien situé pour visites et découvertes. Je recommande cette location.

  • Reviewer: Thibaut

    Comments: We have highly appreciated our stay in Sheila's apartment. We spent one week with our childrens. Sheila and Manny are really nice host guest, we had a very good welcome. They were very reactive to all our request ( reply in less than 2 minutes with (Hidden by Airbnb) -:) ) and always ready to help you. The appartement was fully compliant with the description and pictures, clean, and very well equipped ( all is new ) with more than all you will need. It is perfect for a family of 4. It's also important to say that it is very quiet, with absolutely no noise from the street, what is rare in NYC. The area ( Saint Marks Place in East Village ) is very nice, close to many restaurants, bars and shops, you will love it if you want to live as a New-yorker, far from very touristic areas. At the end of the day, we fully recommend this address.

  • Reviewer: Anna

    Comments: A beautiful, quiet apartment in a great, vibrant and lively neighbourhood! Over 7 days, we enjoyed restful sleeps, our first coffee of the day in our private little garden space, and the use of laundry facilities and kitchen (stocked with condiments and more - like the great coffee and fresh milk!). On the street and throughout the neighbourhood, food and drinks and parks and art and culture abound, sometimes making it difficult to stray too far away in the day. Greenwich and SOHO are also great neighbouring areas within easy walking distance. Thank you, Sheila and Manny, for your great company and generous spirit (and for the wine - and the beautiful flowers which began to wilt and fade only in the last hour before we left ;)). Did we mention to you that we will be back next year? Please reserve a place for us. xoxo

  • Reviewer: Camilla

    Comments: Just came back from a week's wonderful stay in NYC - much thanks to Sheila and Manny and their lovely quiet apartment right in the center of East Village. Great funky neighborhood and a very functional apartment that was very quiet - we woke up in the morning from bird song from our little patio outside! Didn't think that was possible in Manhattan! And Sheila took really good care of us and made us feel both welcome and comfortable - info beforehand, chilled wine and fresh fruit when we arrived and tips on things to do and see while we were there. I would definitely stay there again on my next visit to NYC. Also a short walk to subway stations so you easily get to where ever you want to go - but it is also a nice walk up and down Broadway to get to Battery park or to Time Square. I would rate this a 5 star stay :-)

    Comments: Siamo stati ospiti di Sheila e Manny per dieci giorni durante il mese di maggio 2015. La casa è esattamente come nelle foto se non meglio. Al nostro arrivo Sheila ci ha mostrato come muoverci nell'appartamento e ci ha fornito di una guida con i consigli utili sulla zona. La dispensa per la prima colazione era ben fornita. E' stato davvero comodo avere a disposizione lavatrice, asciugatrice e lavastoviglie. Da non sottovalutare il piccolo giardino sul retro che regalava momenti di relax circondati dal canto degli uccellini. Potremmo continuare ad elencare i lati positivi della casa, dalla posizione ai servizi locali ma questo si può tranquillamente trovare nelle precedenti recensioni. Preferiamo invece dedicare delle parole alla gentilezza di Sheila e Manny. Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di incontrare due persone davvero straordinarie. Ci hanno accolti come amici di lunga data e così hanno continuato a farci sentire per i giorni successivi. Capitava a volte di incontrarli davanti casa tornando dalle lunghe giornate e subito ci invitavano a bere qualcosa di fresco per fare due chiacchiere. Abbiamo iniziato a consigliare l'appartamento ancora prima di rientrare in Italia e nel caso dovessimo fare ritorno a NY sarà sicuramente questo il nostro punto di riferimento. Grazie di cuore!! Un bacio <3 Alessandro, Elisa e Daniele

    Comments: Our second stay with Sheila proved as interesting, welcoming and exciting at the first. The pictures that she uses are very representative of what you will find when you get there. She is always available to answere any questions about the city and the neighborhood. East Village is a vibrant, diverse and fun place to spend time. I will be back again for sure

  • Reviewer: Conny

    Comments: Sheila and Manny’s apartment is located in vibrant East Village where you’ll find plenty of small shops, restaurants and lots of bars. The pictures accurately represent what you’ll find in the apartment: it has everything you need and the bed is very comfortable. The streets can be noisy at night, but you won’t hear any of it inside the apartment which is very calm. Instead, you’ll wake up to the pleasant birds’ songs coming from the backyard. We were very pleased to arrive and find fruit, chocolate and wine at our disposal. Sheila and Manny were great hosts in every way: welcoming, generous and very helpful! We would definitely like to stay here again. Thanks so much!

Il est un peu juste (un canapé lit peu confortable) pour 4 sur un long séjour (10 jours) mais parfait pour 2 personnes. Le quartier est très vivant (pleins de petits restaurants), a proximité de nombreuses lignes de métro et bus permettant de profiter pleinement de Manhattan. Encore merci pour votre accueil.

    Comments: Sheila and Manny are 2 great and warm persons we have appreciated for their kindness and availability. Flat was perfect to look around and close to subway so.... Great. Clean, cozy and perfect for a small family. We appreciated a lot the stay and their help especially because we had one of our daughters not feeling 100% and they were always available for suggestions.

    Comments: We loved our stay in the East Village, and will come back for sure!! The apartment was perfect. Sheila and Manny were very welcoming, helpful, and generous. We felt well looked after - travelling with my daughter, it was so nice to know someone was nearby in case we needed anything. The apartment was very spacious, well equipped, comfortable, and quiet - we slept so well after our big days out on the town. The East Village is the perfect location with things to do day and night, and walking distance to Lower East Side, West Village, Greenwich Village, and subway lines. I hope to visit again, and would definitely stay again at Sheila and Manny's place - our home away from home in NYC!

    Comments: Wow...what a great place. Perfect in every way. It was also very quiet, which is not something one expects in NYC. Sheila was very nice and I hope that on future visits to NYC we will have a chance to get to know her better. Apartment is very nice, quit and has everything that is necessary for a great stay in a great city.

    Comments: We enjoyed our 2nd week stay in the apartment. Sheila has been friendly & helpful. Great location , mins always from the train & great eating places. Apartment well equipped and well kept. Other than there is no phone signal in the basement apartment, all had been great. Will definitely come back!

    Comments: Sheila y Manny nos recibieron afectuosamente, compartimos una copa de vino presentandonos y nos dieron algunos tips para recorrer por NYC. El apartamento estaba en exelentes condiciones tal como se ven en las fotos. El barrio es muy comodo ya que teniendo el subte a dos cuadras nos quedo accesible para trasladarnos. Esta lleno de bares muy cancheros y restos donde se puede almorzar y cenar. Recomendamos un 100% a esta familia para hospedarse. Muchas gracias a Manny y Sheila, los esperamos en Buenos Aires cuando gusten! Saludos! Luciana y Bernabe.

    Comments: Thank you Sheila for a great stay. The apartment was lovely with everything that we needed for a week in New York. Sheila was very helpful and friendly, always on hand for recommendations or to answer questions. Staying with Sheila made our trip to New York just that much better. And living in an apartment instead of a hotel was a great way to get a feel for what it would be like to live in the city.

Super...we will be back no doubt!

  • Reviewer: Michele

    Comments: Sheila and Manny are wonderful people, they were really pleased! We feel as in our home and we left them with pain in our hearts. The apartament is situated in a great area (near the lines 6, N, Q and R of the metro) and omptimally linked to all the city's most important places. Everything you can need is in the apartament and for all the rest ask to Sheila, she'll provide for you. For sure we'll return in Sheila and Manny's apartament in our next holiday in New York, we are glad to have found two new friends!!

  • Reviewer: Lisa

    Comments: Sheila and Manny made me feel very welcome and it was great of them to stay up until midnight to show me the studio when I arrived late from London. Sheila left a bottle of red wine which was a lovely touch and one I enjoyed over the course of my stay. The Studio is really well located in walking distance to great restaurants and great local stores that seem to stock everything: Soho is a 20 minute walk away and it's really easy to get everywhere else too. It's also presented really nicely and has everything you could want including a washer/dryer and the most comfortable bed. I stayed at the studio for a 4 day business trip so unfortunately my schedule didn't allow much time to get to know Sheila or the neighbourhood but what I did see, I loved.

  • Reviewer: Debby

    Comments: Wonderful hosts, Shiela, Manny and family and friends of theirs all contributed to making our New York trip feel like our home. The apartment is comfortable with every toiletry you could ask. The kitchen cupboards are well stocked too- everyone leaves things for the next guests, as well as the wine, nibbles and flowers that welcome you. The garden is a little haven and the neighbourhood is vibrant and full of supermarkets, restaurants and bars. We will definately be back. our sons aged 20 and 17 adored the area and were able to be totally independent. Buses ,trains and subway all safe and easy to get to. P.s excellent lighting at apartment.

I will definitely be back!

  • Reviewer: Shannon

    Comments: Our stay at Sheila and Manny's was absolutely perfect for a first time Airbnb user. The apartment was beautiful and clean, and there was a bottle of wine left for us as a welcome which was incredibly sweet. They left a great suggestions book of restaurants and bars - one of the highlights of our trip was going to happy hour at Tile Bar for a drink with Sheila and talking to the locals, I'd recommend getting a chance to go for a quick drink and getting to know her if you have time in NYC! We can't thank you enough for everything Sheila, from texting us and checking in on how we're doing to having a drink together and all your guidance for the city. If I return again, I'll be back to stay with you for sure. Thank you!

  • Reviewer: Susan

    Comments: What an excellent experience we had here in east village! The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and the apartment was beautiful and roomy, and was as described. We even had a beautiful orchid arrangement that made the place elegant! It is also located in a wonderful neighborhood; we especially recommend the "Mud" for coffee and breakfast, just around the corner. Would definitely stay here again when we return to NYC. Thank you for an excellent experience (our first with AirBnB)

  • Reviewer: Vicente

    Comments: This is our second time at Sheila's. Just like the first time, it was a wonderful experience. I don't have words to describe how nice is Sheila to their guests. Since the first time we came, she made as feel family and all life time friends. The place is so perfect, excellent location and with details such as gourmet delicatessen selected especially by Sheila in the fridge for their guest to enjoy for free. Goat Brie, beer, bagels and even fresh flowers to name some. This is definitely a 10 stars paradise. Thank you Sheila for making the first trip and this one, again, a unique superb experience.

  • Reviewer: Brandt

    Comments: As soon as we arrived Sheila and Manny welcomed us with open arms. They were easily accessible if we had any questions and were happy to give us tips on where to go around town. We couldn't have asked for better hosts in Manny and Sheila. The unit was absolutely perfect. After looking at what we would be paying for a hotel near Times Square at this time of the year, then deciding on this, we could not have been happier. It was twice the size of what I expected, and was fully stocked with everything we needed. Even though it was warmer than expected, the studio was warm, and the little yard out the back added a nice touch. Overall, the place was perfect for a week's stay in the Big Apple and, when we return, I'll certainly be in contact with Sheila and Manny again!

  • Reviewer: Trotsky

    Comments: We absolutely could not have asked for a better host, and we only saw her on the first day of our trip, that is how amazing she is!! The apartment, exactly as it looks, perfect for a couple and even a few kids, all the amenities of home. The location is AMAZING and Sheila leaves no stone unturned as you will find a lengthy list inside the apartment of her favorite local eatieries and shopping areas. We took one or two suggestions as a trial and then quickly tried to check out the rest because everything is spot on, nearby, and incredible. My partner and I stayed with Sheila and Manny for New Years and we were greeted with Champagne to ring in the New Year. There is no doubt that we will stay here again, if it's available next time we are in New York. Thank you Sheila for pretty much perfection!

    Comments: Sheila is a great host. Prompt mail responces even she was away in some days during my stay, welcome fruits and flowers...etc.. I had to check out on the day we experienced an historical blizzard, I had change my check out time several times, she arranged it flexibly. It was very nice. I love the location very much. It's really in the middle of Eats Village, but not so noisy even in the evening. I did not have to walk long to get to 24 hours super market, my kind of bars and restaurants. One of my friends who lives in this neighbour hood for a long time, visited this room and told me "I want to live here!".

A notre arrivée nous avons trouvé un joli bouquet de fleurs, une bouteille de vin, du lait, des amandes et des petits biscuits...des attentions très sympathiques. Le logement est un grand studio, simple mais très propre et surtout très calme (important à New York). Sa situation en entresol fait qu'il n'est pas très clair mais si l'on vient pour visiter New York, cela n'a pas d'importance.

Sheila was super sweet with coffee, tee, milk, beer, wine, butter, jam, fruit and snacks for us! That was incredible! We had everything we could wish for! The location is great. The apartment roomy, comfortable, homey! Don't think twice about staying with Sheila!

  • Reviewer: Meghan

    Comments: We arrived earlier than planned and Sheila was happy to meet us when we arrived. Im at a loss of words when it comes to describing how lovely the apartment is, how thoughtful and generous her accommodations were (she has truly thought of everything in terms of stocking the apartment), and how friendly and courteous she and her family are. It was my birthday and she even went as far as to buy us a bottle of wine and 2 cupcakes! She is incredibly respectful of privacy, yet there when you need something. Staying in this super cozy, yet spacious apartment and having the pleasure of getting to know Sheila was definitely the "icing on the cake" in terms of our vacation. Perfect neighborhood, perfect apartment, perfect host. Absolutely ZERO complaints, which is utterly amazing in NYC when you always seem to have to sacrifice something! (Noise level, outdoor space, indoor space, walk-up building, etc). We've already said that we can't imagine going back and not staying here-- as anywhere else would surely be a letdown. If you're lucky enough to stumble upon a vacancy for this place, book it asap!!

  • Reviewer: Alison

    Comments: Fantastic stay- Manny showed us round, then Sheila came to say Hi next day, even getting up early to say Bye on our last morning. The apartment was lovely, clean and welcoming. We loved the fresh spring flowers! Great to have milk, cereal and some food in cupboards when we arrived worn out. East Village is a fab area, full of really nice cafes and restaurants, with a friendly vibe. Our hosts recommendations for meals were very useful, as were the guide books and maps. Felt like a home from home- a big thankyou to Manny and Sheila! x

    Comments: Shiela's place was the perfect place to call home on our trip to New York! She was so friendly and made us feel comfortable in the unfamiliar city. She was willing to answer any questions that we had, and had great suggestions on where to eat! The place itself was very clean and perfect for our family of four. When we go back to the city, I'll definitely be looking up her place to see if it's available!

    Comments: Après avoir échangé avec Sheila et Manny sur notre voyage à l'occasion des 10 ans de notre fille cadette, nous avons été accueillis avec cupcakes, bougie, fleurs, bouteille de vin... Sheila et Manny sont des hôtes extrêmement chaleureux et attentifs, qui ont à coeur de rendre votre séjour agréable et enrichissant. Manny nous a emmenés le dimanche matin dans une église de Harlem pour assister à une messe gospel et nous avons eu avec eux des échanges très agréables et intéressants. Ils se sont tous deux montrés très attentionnés avec nos deux filles, qui les ont adorés ! Le logement est très bien situé, au coeur d'un quartier très vivant d'East Village. On peut s'y restaurer à toute heure du jour et de la nuit et pourtant, l'appartement est incroyablement calme. On n'entend pas un bruit de l'extérieur. De plus, le logement est très bien équipé. Il ne manque rien. Il y a même une machine expresso et des produits de base à disposition. Nous recommandons sans réserve cette adresse. Sheila et Manny sont les meilleurs hôtes que nous ayons rencontrés jusque là.

    Comments: Sheila was the perfect host. She greeted us out front and helped us find parking in the neighborhood. Once we got inside we were delighted to discover that Sheila had gotten us a gift card to a nearby coffee shop for our anniversary. The apartment is the perfect home base for New York. It was so nice to have a small outside patio to relax on. The neighborhood has so many amazing restaurants and bars within walking distance. The metro (6) was only a few blocks away as well. If we had any questions or issues Sheila was so helpful and easy to contact.

Umbrellas, hairdryer, travel guide, milk for the kids, fresh fruits... The subway is at 5 minutes walk. You can find a lot of restaurants just near the flat.

    Comments: Sheila's place was great. I stayed from Dec. 16-20, 2016 with my husband and 15 year old son to see the sites and attend a Giants game and an Islanders game. The location is trendy and fun with many amenities close by. There are multiple subway stations close by making it simple to get around the city (we took the subway everywhere including back to the airport when heading home). We were able to enjoy the sites of NYC, but able to escape the craziness by returning to Sheila's place at the end of a very busy day. Shelia was so friendly and accommodating. She gave us tips on places to eat and things to do. We would return and stay at Sheila's place again.

    Comments: Great studio in a fantastic location. We felt right at home and in the heart of the East Village. It was surprising to us how quiet the apartment was given how bustling the street outside was and its proximity to bars and restaurants - remarkable. All the furniture was clean and comfortable and the hosts Sheila and Manny that perfect mixture of helpfulness without interfering. The location makes it easy to explore this vibrant area locally (don't miss out on the Tenement Museum experience), Chinatown for Dim Sum and is near to the subway to go further afield. We'd definitely stay there again and in fact have already recommended it to a family member. Thanks for the stay!

    Comments: A superb place to stay in the boisterous East Village, with easy access to the R/6/etc. 24 hour eateries and markets are close by. The studio is very clean, with excellent furnishings, equipment, fixtures, plumbing, electricity, doors, locks, internet, satellite TV, and cellular reception. It is a basement studio, but it is dry with no mustiness. The studio has its own entry from the street. The studio is placed to the back of the building, so it's surprisingly quiet for sleeping. Sheila and Manny are fabulous people and helpful. This would be my first choice for visits to NYC.

    Comments: Nous sommes allés à New-York pour une durée de 5 jours sur place et à 4 adultes. A notre arrivée , pourtant tardive , Manny nous attendait et nous a expliqué tout ce que nous devions savoir. Le logement est très confortable dans une rue animée (bars et restaurants)ce qui plaira aux noctambules et pour les autres pas de panique il est en retrait de la rue donc pas de nuisances sonores et cela même pendant la Saint Patrick...Sheila a même eu la gentillesse de nous inviter ce soir là mais nous étions malheureusement trop fatigués pour en profiter. Une station de métro se trouve à 5 minutes à pied et beaucoup de taxis sont dans la rue ce qui est très pratique nottament pour se rendre a l'aéroport. Manny et Sheila ont toujours étaient disponibles pour répondre à nos questions ce qui était vraiment agréable. Nous vous recommandons vivement ce logement pour le lieu ainsi que pour les hôtes qui sont vraiment adorables. Nous y retournerions sans problème.....

    Comments: Sheila was a great host. She was very welcoming and was available if we had any questions. The apt was clean spacious and even had a washer and dryer. Sheila was kind enough to supply coffee, laundry detergent, snacks and wine.The location is close to everything including well known restaurants and cafes, subway lines. She went above and beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend to stay here. By far this has been the best airbnb experience I have had.

    Comments: L'appartement est calme car en arrière cour et pourtant est dans une rue vivante , pleins de petits restaurants et de petites supérettes à côté . Le métro est à 5 minutes et Times square est à 40 min à pieds . Vous avez tous à disposition, savon, serviettes , sèche cheveux, machine à laver et sèche linge bref le top !!! L'hôte est à votre disposition si vous avez besoin, je ne rajouterai qu'une chose -> n'hésitez pas !!!

    Comments: Wir können die Wohnung von Sheila sehr empfehlen!! Sie ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht, sogar mit Grundnahrungsmittel. Damit haben wir nicht gerechnet und waren daher positiv überrascht. Am ersten Abend hat uns Sheila sogar eine Schüssel frisch gemachte Pasta vorbeigebracht, da wir schon so müde waren. Die Lage der Wohnung haben wir als optimal empfunden: nahe zur Subway, in einem lebhaften Stadtteil mit zahlreichen Lokalen und Restaurants. Aber durch die Lage im Innenhof eine absolut ruhige Oase - traumhaft! Wir haben uns sehr zu Hause gefühlt, auch durch die liebe Betreuung von Sheila und ihre vielen hilfreichen Tipps. Wir würden gerne wieder kommen! Danke Sheila!

    Comments: Sheila and Manny are truly outstanding hosts which is why I came back to stay with them again after a previous visit. The apartment is very cosy and comfortable, ideally located and has all the amenities that one might need. Highly recommended!

  • Reviewer: Valerie

    Comments: We had the most wonderful stay at Sheila's and Manny's. 5 Star all around. The apartment was spotless, cozy, excellently laid out, had cheery decor and was superbly equipped in every respect -- including umbrellas and ponchos. It was a great location. The street was busy in an intriguing NY way but our haven was quiet as could be. Sheila and Manny made us feel welcome with their warmth and fresh flowers and a welcoming bottle of wine, coffee, etc. Sheila and Manny have set a new gold standard for air bnb. Val and Karl

    Comments: Das Appartment liegt super. Perfekt, um Manhattan zu erkunden. Die Straße ist lebendig mit vielen tollen Bars und Restaurants, im Appartment hört man davon nichts, echt klasse. Die Kommunikation lief reibungslos und im Appartment war alles wie angegeben und es war absolut sauber. Insgesamt echt toll!

    Comments: I am an Airbnb super host in Phoenix, Arizona that is very picky about where I stay due to a terrible experience in Las Vegas in April. Seeing that Sheila was a super host as well is what sealed the deal. I knew that she must have met the high standards Airbnb sets to obtain and maintain super host status. Let me say that she did not dissapoint!!!! My best friend and I had never been to NYC before and really had no idea what to expect. Sheila was very communicative and even checked in via text a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. We had lots of questions and she was more than happy to help in any way. The apartment was spacious and well appointed. There was fresh fruit, nuts, pretzels, milk, butter and other condiments in the fridge which was nice since we arrived in the later evening. There were groceries right around the corner at a small market which was a 3 minute walk. The entire street was lively and incredibly beautiful, filled with shops and bars and restaurants. Plan to spend some time there as it's equally cool as the rest of Manhattan. The back outdoor area was a definite treat and a charming place to relax. We sat on the front steps on Friday night and watched all the people come home from work. I could really feel the sense of community once Sheila and Manny joined us and the neighbors came around with hugs and we all shared some laughs. I felt so comfortable and safe there at all times. We slept very well every night, even when the street was pumpin, because the apartment is the basement level and towards the back so it's surprisingly quiet. There is private access to the gardens in back and above ground windows so it doesn't feel basement-like at all. This is the place to stay if you want an authentic New York experience with natives that really care. Thank you again Sheila and Manny!!!! :D Jackie, Phoenix Arizona & Jennifer, Salem Oregon

    Comments: Sheila and Manny were the perfect hosts! The apartment was extremely clean, well cared for and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone going to NY, the location is perfect and you have your own "outside space" for relaxing at the end of the day or drinking your morning coffee.

    Comments: The apartment is very nice, well-equipped and new. It is in a interesting, tipical and very lively area of NY, but the house results quiet and it's located in the same building of the owner. Manny (Emanuele) and Sheila are nice people, always available and friendly! Sono buone persone che aiutano in ogni circostanza, molto disponibili. Manny ha origini italiane e parla perfettamente italiano! Consigliatissimo!

  • Reviewer: Matt

    Comments: We can't recommend staying at Sheila's place highly enough. Such a generous and welcoming family, you immediately feel at home. If you're looking for a taste of East Village life you're in the perfect spot with the ideal host. The room is spotless, has everything you need, and is surprisingly quiet for a lively street like St Marks. Sheila and Manny are big-hearted, knowledgeable and great fun to spend time with - you couldn't ask for more!

  • Reviewer: Yannick

    Comments: The appartement is really great. Close to metro and lot of restaurants. Well placed in Manhattan. It's quiet and has everything needed. Even more like the small garden. Sheila and Manny were really great and friendly. Always available for a small talk. They give us lot of nice adresses in East Village and they even offered us a great breakfast and a nice napkin. We really enjoyed our week in their place.

  • Reviewer: Mary

    Comments: Thank you Sheila and Manny. Your little oasis is the city was perfect for my family. We were able to fit comfortably in the apartment. The ability to do laundry was so great - the fact that you provided detergent, and I did not have to go purchase that after a long day walking around as a tourist was amazing! These extra touches are what make staying with you such a treat. I was traveling alone with 3 children and I felt safe in this location. We traveled primarily by subway and the 3 block walk was easy each morning and night. As you said "we did it all from baseball to Broadway " having a great place to stay made it all so enjoyable. Thanks y'all !

This is the place to be in NY if you love great food, hospitality in close proximity of the city's highlights, like Empire State building, Statten Island ferry and views to Statue of Liberty, Central Park, galleries and Broadway shows. Sheila & Manny were perfect hosts. Don't miss out on staying here.

    Comments: Sheila was an incredible host and I can't recommend her place enough. The price is fantastic for the area, the space is larger and cleaner than any hotel you're going to stay at and Sheila was always there ready at a moment's notice if I needed help with anything. I loved the spacious back patio and tips on nearby restaurants and markets left on the kitchen table were extremely helpful. I would absolutely stay again!

    Comments: Sheila's place is warm and inviting and exactly as promoted, your own private space with all of the amenities. Great neighborhood with easy access to the MTA and tasty restaurants and plenty of shopping opportunities. What's not to love! Did I mention she is a charming host!

  • Reviewer: Misty

    Comments: Sheila and Manny were delightful! The apartment was roomy, clean, and had everything we could want. Beds were comfortable, with plenty of blankets and linens. It was quite and we slept fine without issue. It should accommodate most have but I’m sure they would do their best for whatever you need. They even let one of our guest keep her luggage at their place after checkout so she could enjoy the city before her late flight. Location of Shelia and Mannys place was ideal. We bought subway passes and didn’t use them because everything we did was walkable. We were having a girls weekend full of eating, shopping, and adult beverages! If you’re planning on shows and sight seeing you’ll use the subway more than we did. The neighborhood is lively and full of good food. Check out eater for recommendations, I’ve yet to be disappointed. Shelia and Manny also supply a list of suggestions. I would recommend this location to anyone! I’ve stayed a lot of places in NYC and this by far has been the best location for what I enjoy doing. Subway is about 2.5 to 3 blocks away which should take you anywhere you’d like to go in the city and beyond.

    Comments: Nice and easy-going hosts. Apartment is nice and quiet and yet very conveniently located. Can definitely recommend.

  • Reviewer: Jessica

    Comments: Awesome East Village Apt! First off, you're in the middle of everything but at night, it's COMPLETELY QUIET. Being a bottom floor apt, the space doesn't get super bright light either, so if you want to sleep in, you won't have to deal with aggressive sunshine. Perfect for my tastes. The kitchen may the be best appointed AirBnb kitchen I've ever experienced. Fresh flowers, fruit, plenty of Kurig coffee pods, creamer in the fridge, even some beer and wine awaited us. Impressive closet/storage space, plenty of bathroom toiletries for your convenience, and I made use of the satellite music channels on the tv while hanging out. Once you leave, you're minutes from everything. Manny and Shelia were super helpful and communicative and friendly. I try to visit NYC once a year and would definitely stay here again for another Village Adventure.

  • Reviewer: Elaine

    Comments: The purpose of our trip was to our son and his family; Sheila's place is a few doors down the street from his place. For those new to New York, Sheila offers many references for sightseeing, provides umbrellas and ponchos for rainy weather and suggestions for grocery shopping in a real grocery store within walking distance. Sheila provides information on the subway system and she or Manny, her husband, are available to answer any questions a traveler may have either in person or by email or text. This apartment is clean, convenient and comfortable!

  • Reviewer: Ignacio

    Comments: Sheila y Manny se ocuparon en cada momento de que nuestra estadía fuese impecable: recibieron paquetes de compras (muchos) sin ningún problema, nos invitaron a su cena de acción de gracias, muchos detalles en el apartamento (provisiones, limpieza y disponibilidad de elementos útiles). Se trata de un apartamento con medidas ideales y muy bien equipado. La zona es inmejorable. Solamente hubo un problema con la calefacción y el agua caliente por el que se preocuparon mucho y solucionaron en breve... Definitivamente, si volvemos a NYC, Sheila y Manny serán nuestros anfitriones...

  • Reviewer: Harmony

    Comments: My husband, our two kids and I had a wonderful stay at Sheila's apartment. It was clean and spacious, with more amenities -- washer & dryer! backyard! big closet! -- than even a local might hope for. The location is just steps away from a number of great cafes and restaurants and only a couple blocks from the subway. The apartment is very well appointed; Sheila and Manny have really thought about every detail that might make a pleasant stay. We would be honored to stay here again!

  • Reviewer: Leanne

    Comments: The apartment is perfect and in a lovely area with restaurants and pubs on your doorstep. It’s also really close to public transport and only 4 stops on the subway to central Manhattan. Sheila & Manny really are super hosts and do everything they can to make you feel comfortable and make sure that you have everything you need throughout your stay! It’s a lovely apartment, very cosy and feels like coming home at the end of every day, would always recommend over a hotel and Sheila & Manny should be your first choice for the air b ‘n’ b experience.

    Comments: Nous avons énormément apprécié l’accueil et la générosité de Sheila et son époux Manny.L’emplacement était idéal pour nous car nous avons arpenté Greenwich,Soho,le quartier chinois, Chelsea et même Times Square et Central Park en marchant. Pour le reste de nos visites on empruntait le métro. La situation de l’appartement est parfaite.L’immeuble donne sur une rue très animée mais l’appart est légèrement en retrait vers l’arrière de sorte que nous avions des nuits très paisibles.Notre logement comprenait tout ce dont nous avions besoin de sorte que nous nous sentions comme à la maison.Merci encore à nos chaleureux hôtes. À recommander sans hésitation.

  • Reviewer: Steve

    Comments: This was our first experience of airbnb, so we were naturally apprehensive. We needn't have been. Staying at Sheila's place was an absolute delight. Although the East Village area is bustling and lively, inside all is calm and serene. It was difficult to believe that we were staying in the middle of the city. The facilities inside were great, and there's a warm, homely atmosphere. More than that, our hosts were just fantastic; down to earth, helpful and friendly. We couldn't have been more warmly greeted. They were always on hand if we needed any advice or help, and were able to offer practical tips and advice to help our travel and eating plans. They turned a really good trip into an exceptional one.

Auch mit Tipps und Ratschlägen stand uns Sheila jederzeit zur Seite, egal ob sie mir und meinen Freundinnen ein gutes Restaurant oder ein schönes Stadtviertel empfahl, mit ihren Tipps lag sie immer goldrichtig! Das Appartment liegt in einer ruhigen, aber dennoch interessanten Gegend, von welcher man, zum Beispiel mit der nahegelegenen U-Bahn, jeden Winkel der Stadt erreichen kann.

L'appartamento è esattamente come si vede dalle foto, la sua localizzazione ottima, nel cuore dell'Est Village, ma in una zona comunque residenziale e tranquilla. C'è tutto e, per chi come noi viaggiava con una bimba piccola, assolutamente un valore aggiunto si è rivelata la disponibilità della lavatrice e dell'asciugatrice.
