John's place is in the perfect west village location. It was exactly as described in the pictures. John was a great host. He met us at the apartment and helped us carry our luggage up. The apartment was clean, bright and comfortable. We were pre warned in the listing about the five flights of stairs, therefore, used it for part of our daily exercise. The apartment was well worth the climb. We enjoyed wonderful sunsets and views from the rooftop. We would definitely stay at Johns place again!
