East Village Cocoon - King Bedroom

simple, clean place. great location.

The apartment is kind of old but the bed is soft and cofomortable,. The place is in a sweet location near countless restaurants markets shops and bars! The landlore not really talk to us however he prepared lots different tea bags in the kitchen it's a nice welcome for our asianess. There only one bathroom. The internet speed is extrmely slow, sometime its drop off.

Overall a great stay at East Village Cocoon. Dimitri is very nice, easy-going, and easy to connect with via phone—which was very reassuring being our first time using airbnb. The apartment is a little old but is clean and does have everything you need for a good stay in NYC. The room was great; IKEA furnished and a comfortable bed. We had the place to ourselves but it appears that there are two rooms made available so if you are just booking one, you may just want to check if you'll have a roommate (if you care to). NY travel books and maps are there to use which was a real nice touch. The area is good and has a fun vibe (and a great grocery store around the corner) but the Saturday night crowd was pretty loud out on the street for most of the night. Sunday and Monday nights were fine though.

Great host! Dirmitri was very helpful and it was very easy to make yourself comfortable there. The apartment is in a cool neighborhood, close to the subway and only one street across to the coolest bars : ) Everything was perfect! Totally recommended!

Totally recommend that place! Perfectly located, cosy and airconditioned. Dimitri and his girlfriend were great hosts, very relaxed and always offering recommendations where to go.

We have just left Dimitri's East Village cocoon and couldn't recommend it higher! Exactly what we needed in a perfect location. We were two friends sharing a double bed and we had plenty of room. Dimitri was the perfect host and was full of great suggestions about places to go and things to do in the area. (eg. Rock'n'Roll karaoke!) Thanks for making our time in NY as great as it was Dimitri.

Great little place in a such a superb spot! Dimitri was very welcoming and laid-back. The cleaner let us in, so needless to say the house was very clean. We very much appreciated the AC in hot hot New York!!

Great apartment, close to everything Great host - chilled out and very helpful What more could you want?

My best friend and I stayed at Dimitri's place for a week in June. The place was exceptionally clean, the bed very comfortable and it was nice and cool (airconditioning). Dimitri made a real effort to make sure we felt at home and gave us lots of advice so that we could get the most out of New York. We'll definitely come back!

nice host - great apartment - best location ever. recommended, we will come back!

Great location, super comfortable bed! Dimitri is a lovely man and was a very attentive host, he brought me a blowdryer and spent half the day making sure the internet worked on my computer (he even went and bought a signal booster to make it stronger). Highly recommended!

The view is superb.The local area outside is sketchy but I had no problems. The doormen to the building were nice guys. I never did see Bastien or Jazzwell over the 3 days I spent there. Would like to have had curtains as other tenants are able to look right inside through the window. A working light bulb in the lamp would have helped during the evening. Room was dirty. Looked like the carpet hadn't been vacumed in a month. Only 2 block walk to 125th street metro station which is a express train too, nice. Bed was comfy with nice comforter and clean sheets.

Awesome location and room. Safe neighborhood, even late at night. Everyone was very pleasant and accomodating. I had no towel and host rushed to local store to purchase one. AWESOME! This is an excellent value.

Bastien has become a "host friend" as he has taken some of my guests recently. Bastien is a great guy, always available to work with me and accommodate even very last-minute and one-night reservations which have saved me:)! thanks Bastien and looking forward to doing more business with you. All my guests really liked his place!

Bastien place is pretty nice, It is super clean and the room and bed are very comfy. Loved the view from the terrace and windows. Bestian was very hospitable and friendly. Just a small note about the neighborhood, The location is in harlem so if you are from outside NYC it looks very sketchy on first look but is safe as I learnt during my stay there.

bastien was amazing! he made us feel really welcome and was extremely personable! he was quick to answer any questions we had about the city and checked with us to make sure everything was kosher......also, the view was just amazing...you could see everything! i wwill definitly be staying with him again on my next trip!!!! ttfn see you soon bastiien!!!!!! :)

My husband and I just spent five nights at Bastien's place and truly enjoyed ourselves. We couldn't have been luckier in the location: a 15-minute bus straight from LGA to 125th and Lexington; a 10-minute express subway ride to Times Square; a 10-minute stroll to Central Park reservoir and trails. Oh, and the view! It was better than a postcard. The bed was super comfortable, the rest of the apartment was roomy and kept tidy. The roommates weren't really around much, but when they were, gave great advice about restaurants and things to do. Although we didn't get to see Bastien much, he made every attempt to get together and ensure that we had something to do. In fact, he proved himself hospitable right away by leaving work to meet us at the bus stop and take us to his place. Very pleasant experience overall. I'd definitely recommend Bastien's place!

Bastien probably has the best view in Manhattan. Looking down from the upper, upper east side into downtown at night is really a great view. His room mates are all pleasant and gave great tips on where to go. Very much recommended.

Jazz has the quintessential new york apt. It has everything you could want, and it is close to all the great restaurants and best night life in new york city. As for a host you could not ask for better, he loves showing people a good time ! I am stoked to have Jazz as a neighbor and friend.

I love Jazz's apartment. It's so cosy and nice and the location is super, right in the middle of the East Village, which of course is the best area on Manhattan! Don't miss the great rooftop. Jazz is also the perfect host, always friendly and nice. You'll have a great NY experience if you stay with him.

Jazz non è solo qualcuno che ti affitta una camera ma un personaggio che renderà molto più semplice la tua vita a Manhattan... Rivelandosi un amico in grado di incrementare il tuo network di amicizie nella grande mela ;)

Bastien place is just great! The view of the city is SPETACULAR and the apartment is huge! The location is also strategic: steps away from green express line of the subway (and just minutes away from the red) you can be virtually anywhere in minutes, no matter if is east or west side…. His place is very much recommended!
