I cannot say enough good things about Evelyn and her Air BnB. Her communication was on point. We arrived late and had no problems gaining entry to the building or our apartment. - Blessing cuz we were tired from the travel!
Got in, settled for a beat then decided to unwind by grabbing a drink nextdoor - which is exactly how far we needed it to be. And they served confort food to boot!
Hit the grocer across the way for some water and snacks and we slept like babies in a cozy bed.
The neighborhood is iconic NYC. The heart of Greenwhich Village. You can get anywhere from here. Every train is within walking distance as are the, also iconic, neighborhoods of Soho, East Village and Meat Packing district. If you’re a walker you can easily get to Chinatown and Little Italy too!
When we woke our first morning we walked to the bagel shop next to (the famous) Joe’s Pizza, took our coffee and bagels to go and walked across the street to Washington Square Park where we sat peacefully and watched the chess players go at it. Things only went up from there.
We walked around most days then went back to Evelyn’s home base and relaxed before heading out at night. I loved the studio we stayed in. It was perfect and I was very comfortable. We even chose to order in a few nights and just chill. We knew if we wanted to head out we could. No shortage of things to do right at our doorstep.
Final note: there are three famously known pizza places within spitting distance - John’s (across the street) Joe’s (up the street) and Bleeker Street (around the corner). This is the place to be for a really happening NYC experience.
