Duane's penthouse loft is a unique West Village experience unlike any other residence I have stayed at in NYC, and there have been many in the past. At the end of many busy work days in the city, the apartment served as a welcome respite that was removed from the street noise below. It is cozy and appointed with most all of the conveniences of home. The functioning kitchen made economizing on food as easy as home, and the washer/dryer inside the apartment meant I could pack light and be free from the burden of laundromats. Duane was a pleasure to communicate with at all times. He checked in during my stay to make sure everything was as he wanted it to be for me. Both he and the apartment are a genuine and authentic experience. With enthusiasm, I would recommend his apartment to anyone for any purpose. I return to NYC often, and plan to use his residence each time I do. Although I recommend it highly, please do not book at times when I need it. ;) Thank you for everything Duane, and Happy New Year!
