We are located in the heart of the EV, one block south of Tompkins Square Park, two from St. Mark's, and just a few blocks away from the 6, F, and L trains. We are also a short walk to Soho, Union Square and the West Village.

The EV is home to some of the best restaurants, bars, music venues, and shopping in the city. We'll recommend all kinds of stuff here, and are more than happy to give you a little guided tour around our neighborhood. We also recommend things in other areas that you might want to see.

Please contact us prior to booking a reservation so we can check out the dates.

THE IMPORTANT STUFF:
We've had a couple confused people, so just to tell you upfront - we are inviting you to share our home with us- it's NOT a private rental. Sorry!

We have a two-story duplex, entry located on the first floor of our building, which looks out onto a nice big deck, which you can use. It's very quiet, since we face the back of the building, but you can still sit outside and have a few nice cocktails if you want.

And hey, in the village, quiet is a GREAT thing after a long day of exploring the city.

YOUR sleeping space would be in the living room on the first floor, which has privacy curtains creating your own living area while you are staying with us, and the kitchen and bathroom are also right there. (our bedroom and bathroom are downstairs).

We have a comfortable QUEEN size pull out couch with a memory foam mattress which is great for friends or a couple, as well as fresh bedding and towels. It's not a huge space, but it's cozy, clean, and well appointed.

We're super flexible, and won't be bothered by you coming and going (you'll have your own keys). We tend to be night owls ourselves, but will of course respect your hours. And you can call us anytime, in case you get lost or have any issues and need help.

We do have two small quiet dogs, and a cat, all VERY well behaved and who love meeting new people. Dogs can be kept downstairs. Unfortunately, the cat has a mind of her own, and sleeps where she pleases :)

Nice stuff that's included - breakfast (bagels, juice, coffee, tea, that sort of thing), use of our fully equipped kitchen w/ dishwasher, free wi-fi, ipod dock with speakers, Wii game console w/ games, HDTV with movies, books, beautiful glass and marble bathroom, and much much more in our newly remodeled apartment.

Look forward to seeing you!

  • Jaime's place is a very nice spot in the East Village. It's very central to the lower east side and walking distance to a lot of things downtown. I was very comfortable with the place. I had good sleep on the couch. Bathroom was great. Had good privacy. And I even had fun times hanging out with their cat, Amé. They have a great back yard too. Felt great relaxing there. Really great experience all around. Jamie is a really great host. He gave me terrific suggestions and was very hospitable. Would love to stay there again.

  • Really cool hosts and great apartment! W. was away on business during my stay, but J. was really accommodating when it came to pretty much everything (early check in, letting me store my bags for a late flight out) Really enjoyed my stay here... I'm pretty sure everyone would say the same

  • We were so pleased to stay at J&W's appartment. The room was small but very cozy. We have not seen Willow, but Jamie was very hospitable, gave us some useful recommendations. The apartments are ideally located to anywhere in Manhattan. It is easily accessible either by walk or by subway. Highly recommended. Olga&Oleg.

  • I had a great stay at Jamie's apartment. Willow was away for work so did not meet her. Jamie was helpful with local suggestions and very friendly. The apartment is very cosy and good for a solo business/pleasure traveler needing an East Village base. If you want ultra privacy this isn't for you. The place was clean, you have your own bathroom and use of the kitchen if required. I would stay here again when in NY for a few days.

  • East Village Escape! lived up to the description in the listing. It was clean and quiet, and I was able to come and go on my own schedule.

    Willow and Jamie had such a great place and where lovely hosts. I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting New York.

  • We stayed in NYC from December 25th to January 1st and Willow and Jamie were great hosts. They have a small but cozy apartment well located in the East Village. We had a very clean bathroom that we only had to share with their cat. We slept on a very large and comfortable sofa bed, which we could separate from the kitchen with a curtain. The neighborhood is quiet and we were never woken up by the noise of a car or a siren. Jamie and Willow were always as quiet as possible when we were sleeping or relaxing. They were always helpful and they gave us some precious advice (restaurants, sightseeing and all the small things that one may need). “Feel free to” was one of the sentences we heard most. All in all they perfectly contributed to an unforgettable journey in the city that never sleeps.

  • This was the perfect place for my 2 night visit to NYC. Willow and Jamie are very kind, respectful people and their apartment is chicly decorated and spotless. The sofa bed was extremely comfortable and it was very quiet. Having your own bathroom was an added bonus. I would highly recommend staying here.

  • Willow and Jamie's place is beautiful, and was just perfect for my needs for a two day trip. They were able to be very flexible for my check in and check out times, which is was fantastic. And the bathroom is so fabulous, as is their beautiful cat! I had a great time and was so happy I made this choice.

  • First trip to New York was even better than expected, thanks largely to Willow and Jamie. Both are amazing hosts – very welcoming and helpful. Their place looks great, and the set-up is perfect. (Two levels; separate bathrooms, entrances, etc.) Basically like having your own apartment in the East Village – for a fraction of what you’d pay for a hotel room.
