East Village Studio

I contacted David on the evening before my arrival to NYC and he responded immediately and assured me that I can stay at his place. His studio was very clean, neat, and in a great location within walking distance from Soho. The place was quiet and the bed comfy. David has figured out the best no-hassle key return ever. Definitely would stay again.

David's Studio was perfect! It was clean and cozy. A little noise from the club below on the weekends, but it never bothered us. Nestled between the East Village and Lower East Side neighborhoods, you have great restaurants and shopping right out your door. The F train is also just a few blocks down at 2nd ave. which made it easy to go to Brooklyn or Uptown to visit Museums and Upper Manhattan. Also, plenty of cabs were always on Houston and easy to grab. David was very flexible on check in/out times which really helped us get the most out of our trip. I highly recommend staying at his Studio!

Great little apartment, nestled conveniently between the East Village and SOHO. Apartment was clean and cozy, with enough closet space to get by for a short visit. We had to do some improvisational engineering to make coffee, but there are also plenty of coffee places nearby. We loved the collection of random items clearly left by previous visitors and added a few things ourselves. Apartment was pretty quiet most of the time, although the club downstairs was a distraction on Saturday night (as expected). It was not unbearably loud or annoying and nothing a few drinks before bed couldn't fix. Neighborhood around the apartment was clean and safe, too. Close enough to the East Village to have plenty foot traffic and cabs, but not so much of the noise. Would definitely stay there again if I get back to the City anytime soon.

Place is great but loud on weekends. Location is sweet, apartment is clean and bed is comfortable.

We stayed in David's studio at very short notice as our previous booking fell through. However, this was probably for the best as David's place turned out to be the perfect location: Lots and lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance, and only two blocks from the metro. The studio was ideal for a few days spent in the city and was more than accomodating for the two of us. We stayed Sunday-Wednesday and didn't have any problems with noise. David was easy to contact as well which made the whole experience stress free, and was even patient with us as our coach into NY was delayed by an hour or two! I would definitely recommend staying at David's studio, and will be sure to stay here when we are next in town!

Everything went smoothly with my stay! Love the location -- right on the edge of the East Village and across the street from the Lower East Side, both of which are great neighborhoods to hang out in.

David e' una persona estremamente gentile,la casa e' spaziosa,ottima per due/ tre persone,...la posizione e' stupenda. Giudizio decisamente positivo.

The host canceled my reservation 20 days before arrival.

We had a great time at David's place. The appartment was great and the location was perfect. Lots of places to eat, drink and play with a subway really close and everything in walking distance, highly recommended for young travelers. The appartement itself was nice, but the only downside was the place was a bit dirty and hadn't been vacuumed. There were a few bugs and cockroaches around, but they seemed to go once we cleaned and vacuumed the place. The noise level of the club downstairs wasn't an issue for us, but probably not recommended for light sleepers. Overall a great place to stay in NYC.

The apartment is excactly as pictured, not fancy but practical and enough room for three. The neighborhood is nice, short walk to the subway and lots of restaurants, bars and grocery stores around. The club downstairs is pretty cool, I would recommend checking it out on fridays and saturdays because the music is VERY loud these nights and it's more fun to party downstairs then in your apartmen. David is very nice and helpful and reachable at all times. He helped with bags and made checking in and out easy. The few problems: NO WIFI, not too clean and some cockroaches, very New Yorky I guess. The outside area is cool, especially for smokers, but needs major cleaning! Hint: There's a 24hour dunkin donuts a few doors down which offers free WiFi! price-performance ratio is good though, considering NYC prices!

Not bad in a pinch. I needed a place to stay for New Year's Eve. This apartment was in a great location. Really, it's exactly what I needed, though the apartment is not special in and of itself.

noi eravamo 4 persone, l'appartamento è un pò piccolo per 4 direi più per 2/3 persone. La scelta è stata comunque consapevole in quanto David ci aveva scritto che per 4 era un pò piccolino, ma la zona è comodissima. Vicino ad un parco tranquillo e ad una fermata della metro che raccoglie le linee con gli snodi principali. David è stato poi molto accogliente e gentile permettendoci di far restare le valigie nell'appartamento fino alla nostra partenza

Small but nice, great location.

brilliant location, smallish space, mattresses on floor from sofabed to sleep on, good bathroom, no proper curtains, very poor lighting, no kettle, not terribly clean including the window, but at least it opened - but we enjoyed it and New York very much

Great location! Bring your earplugs because construction is going on next door. The space is small but warm and cozy featuring a heater that sounds like a shopping cart is being dragged down the street. Still, it is a great price for this spot and we really enjoyed our time in the city. David was a cool man and we had a great time.

Ok

David is a nice person, which is more than you can say about the small room he rents out. It had a bed, yes, but it looked more like a storage room in a second hand furniture shop than a bedroom you would ask money for. It was, to be honest, quite a mess, and not very cosy. We had rented the room for three persons, but were happy that David let the third person put his mattress in the basement room. Once you figure out the bus system, it is pretty simple to go to Manhattan via bus and subway. But in conclusion, we have for a similar price rented far more attractive and better situated places in Brooklyn.

Great place, everything went smoothly! David was flexible on my arrival time and delivered in spades!

Thelocation is great but the studio wasn't really clean at all. All the floor, shelves, mirrors and windows were full of dust from many days ago... The base of the sofa where is supossed to sleep was dirty with too much things on and being unable to sleep there and we should move the upper matrassa to the grounf floor to sleep in. The stairs to the up bed had a broken wheel and you can move it. The lighting wasn't enough. The window courtain is not fixed an doesn't avoid the light comes in from early mooning.

Good location but could have been a lot cleaner.

David has a long background in hospitality, lots of expertise in hosting and having house guests, and is a people-person who aims to please. He is incredibly accommodating, easy to get along with, and above all, trustworthy. He is always there to lend a hand, often offering to assist before I can even ask.

David is a great host. He goes above and beyond to make his apartment as hospitable as possible, and sincerely wants every guest to have the best possible experience. His place is homey, casual and comfortable, and I hope you enjoy your stay there.
