You think your local bar has some history, McSorley’s is old enough to have served Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, and is packed with memorabilia. Up until that 1970, the bar’s motto was “Good Ale, Raw Onions and No Ladies.” - NYC East Village Apt with Working Fireplace - New York

My home is in the heart of the East Village/LES area, known for its restaurants, nightlife & vintage shopping. The apartment has a full kitchen, a smart TV with cable, 5G WiFi & a queen bed in the bedroom. Most important for guests staying in the summer, both rooms have the Midea U Inverter A/C considered to be the quietest air conditioner units on the market. The Subway with the Second Ave Station, is only 1.5 short blocks away!

All races, religions & LGBT+ are welcome! I take pride in offering a clean comfortable place for guests when visiting NYC.

AMENITIES:
- Queen bed with 4 inch Memory Foam - In the Bedroom
-Additional Bed: A very comfortable narrow twin folding cot with mattress & plush topper
- Clean Sheets, Bedding and Towels for all beds as needed.
- High Speed 5G 100mbps WIFI
- Smart Television: the living-room has a full cable package of 1000 channels including HBO, & Showtime, plus over 2000 movies & TV shows on demand. You can log into any screening app you prefer.
- Full Kitchen with updated appliances including a gas stove and a full selection of pots & pans plus plates, cups and silverware
- Household Basics : toilet paper, dish detergent, kitchen towels, trash bags, a roll of paper towels and cleaning supplies(just in case of an emergency).
- Control over the temperature settings for the Heater and Air Conditioner in the apartment with separate zones for the main room and the living room. A/C is available from mid June to the end of September.

TOTAL NUMBER OF GUESTS: The apartment is typical of the East Village Tenement walk-up and is ideal for 2 guest. The vast majority of my bookings involve 3-4 guests. To accommodate I set up in the living-room either an air-mattress (Queen Double high with built-in electric pump)or a folding slim twin cot that sleeps a child or a smallish adult. If you have very young children, you maybe able to fit more so please contact me to discuss.

KITCHEN: The Kitchen has a gas stove with restaurant burners. While the freezer will have some food items in it, I leave the refrigerator empty with the exception of some staple condiments which you are welcome to use. I will also leave space in the cabinet over the sink for you. You are welcome to use my spices, oils and any pasta /carb items in the cabinets you may need.

LIVING ROOM: The open kitchen/living room has a gas fireplace as well as two large windows providing tons of sunlight. I have an air conditioner unit set up in the window that is one of quietest on the market. It is very strong and can cool down the apartment in about 10 minutes.

In the living room there is a ventless gas fireplace that can be used in the winter if you like. The main heat is provided by electric wall units which you control the temperature settings.

BEDROOM: The bedroom is located away from the street so is normally very quiet. The door is a sliding barnyard style. The queen bed is comfortable and in excellent condition with a pillow top mattress. It has an air conditioner(extremely quiet) during the summer and a wall heating unit which you can control the temperature separate from the living room. I always leave the drawers in the dresser empty and half the main closet empty for your use. The rest of the closets are for my personal storage. & I make no promises on how neat they are kept, so do not open!

BATHROOM: My bathroom, though not brand new, is in good condition & very clean. I leave a hairdryer for my guests plus shampoo, conditioner & body wash. I know most are flying to NYC and, with baggage fees, luggage space is precious.

BUILDING: The building dates back to 1885 and is considered a Tenement building, which means no elevator and is referred to by locals as a walk-up. The apartment is on the third floor. That means you need to be comfortable walking up two flights of stairs with your luggage.

SUPPLIES: I will provide bedding and towels for my guests. I also supply a couple of rolls of toilet paper, dish detergent, kitchen towels, trash bags and a roll of paper towels. Additional cleaning items will be under the kitchen sink, if needed. There is an iron in the bedroom dresser cabinet.

LAUNDRY: I do not have a washer & dryer nor is there one in the building. I am happy to give you the name of the laundromat I use which provides delivery for wash & fold - usually same day.

FOOD SHOPPING: There are many places to go food shopping in NYC and locally. If you prefer to have groceries delivered I am happy to give you some suggestions You can pre-order to guarantee your preferred deliver time, which can be competitive with some services. I havent been inside a grocery store in NYC for a decade!

LUGGAGE: I do not normally offer early luggage drop off or holding after check out for various reasons. But I can give you the name of services around NYC that will provide that service and have the insurance to guarantee your belongings are safe.
