Second Home on Second Avenue

Fodor's Review:

If you like the East Village, reserve your room now, because these five rooms are the only way to experience the neighborhood like a local. A loyal core of regular patrons, mainly Europeans, keeps it booked at least five months in advance. Far from tourists, it's easy to blend into the scene here. The punctilious owner keeps the large rooms spotless and the prices cheap. Two caveats: you have to walk up to the third or fourth floor, and the bar downstairs can be noisy, especially on the weekends. The five large rooms are themed: modern, Caribbean, Peruvian, skylight, and tribal. Guests have use of a communal kitchen. Pros: spacious rooms, very clean, rare East Village rooms. Cons: walk-up building, two rooms share a bath.
