The apartament is beautiful and charming! Very clean and comfortable for solo travellers or a couple, I'd say larger than it looks in the pictures. Just worth mentioning that it is on the 3rd floor with only stairs, and there is morning clarity in the room, but come on, you are in the NY and the West Village, who needs sleep?
Btw, the neighbourhood is awesome. So many cafes, restaurants, jazz bars and interesting history. You can walk around all day. It is definitely the best place I stayed in NY (and I go 3-4x a year).
As for Pipi, she was a GREAT host! Very easy communication, super responsive, always trying her best to help (from check-in/check-out times, wifi, spare keys).
I am surelly looking forward to speaking to Pipi again and staying in this apartament next time I am in town :)
