I am writing to verify the reviews by others that mention the unbearable noise, the impossibility of sleeping unless you are a deep sleeper and the rudeness of the owner. I also had various insults directed at me from Anne when I mentioned the paper thin walls and floors, the banging of footsteps, the sound of conversations as though they... More

I cannot tell you how much we loved the EVBC. The reservation process and response was timely and accurate. Their website gives you everything you need to know. We took the subway in from La Guardia and caught a cab ($5) from the subway station to the EVBC. Let me tell you the rooms are small. We stayed in the... More

We couldn't recommend this place more. After arriving excitedly in New York Harrison met us at the 'red door' and showed us around. This place is a gem to find, its like home away from home. He then proceeded to spend an hour with us and gave awesome recommendations of where to eat and what to see on our first... More

New York can be an overwhelming experience, especially for two people from a small town in South Africa, but at EVBC you can get advise from the manager, as well as the fellow travellers you meet around the breakfast table. There are good restaurants in walking distance and the bus on the next block, takes you directly to the subway,... More

After a 24 hours of travel from Melbourne arriving at EVBC was fantastic. We were met by Anne who made us very welcome, sharing lots of information about New York and East Village in particular. Our room was spotless and the bed very comfortable (the best so far in our 5weeks of travel) if you don't like sharing a bathroom... More

Evbc is perfect for those who do not want to use a fortune on a hotelroom. No trouble sharing kitchen and bath- on the contrary- you meet nice people at the breakfasttable! The beds are comfortable and the hosts friendly! Recommend the place and the area.

If you want to be in the lap of luxury, or if you need a ton of privacy, then EVB&C is probably not for you. But if you want safe, affordable, sparkling clean accommodations in a great NYC neighborhood, read on. Bedrooms are small but comfortable with shared kitchen, living room and bathroom on each floor. You are likely to... More

This was our first time in new york and can honeslty say the bed and coffee was superb, very comfortable with a warm and friendly atmosphere, everywhere was clean and the room we stayed in was lovely, the kitchen has everything you could ever need and the toilets/shower were cleaned daily, Anne and Harrison are briiliant and cant do enough...
