Editorial Review for Second Home on Second Avenue – by Gayot.com
The Scene
This seven-year-old B&B-like guesthouse offers a tranquil respite from its surrounding neighborhood. It is housed in a 1920s building above a yoga studio in a busy part of the East Village. The staff is friendly and very helpful in orientating first-time visitors to the city.
The Details
The property is tidy and nicely decorated with original South American-inspired paintings by the owner's father. A large skylight above the stairwell drenches the common areas with natural light. The seven rooms are spacious, clean and homey. Not all have private baths. A fully stocked kitchen allows guests to save money by cooking on the premises. Other amenities include free local phone calls and color cable TVs.

An oasis on Second Avenue! This has by far been the most pleasant place I have found in all my years of traveling to the city! immaculate clean rooms, 20 foot ceilings, beautiful skylight ceiling at the top of the stairs, very discreet, (there is no sign outside), all with reasonable prices!, host Billy macagnone brings all of his years growing up in the restaurant business with his family to running this hotel, you will get discount meals at any one of his dads 3 famous Italian restaurants! Also his knowledge of growing up in Manhattan will astound you if you need any information on getting anywhere or what to do, just ask him!! for sure you will get a gracious answer, this place is usually fully booked, but with only 8 rooms it never feel full, I would reserve as much in advance as you can, I cant wait to go back! eddy kaufman
Pros: great deal!

The last review prior to this one was in 6/07 and things have definitely changed. We found the service unfriendly, the management unaccommodating, and the room uncomfortable (noisy). Very disappointing.
Pros: Location
Cons: Service, Noise, Management, Accounting
