This is a well-located rental in the West Village, close to restaurants, shops, and transportation. The apartment, though clean, pleasant, and adequately furnished, has a number of drawbacks. The kitchen table requires two books under one leg to stand straight. The glass table in the living room is held together with duct tape and is not completely stable. Of the two beds in the bedrooms: only one is a real bed, the other is a futon. In the winter, the place stays too cold: the heat is set at (too low) a fixed point, and space heaters-- which the landlord says he has-- were not mentioned early enough in our stay for us to take advantage of them. Though this is Apartment 1, it is one flight up, and this first flight of stairs is narrow and with no railing. (This made climbing the stairs difficult for two 70-year olds, and one with an injured knee.) The TV is hard to coax into action and tends to lose the station even once it's set. The stove top and oven don't work. The lamps are old and one has a loose-hanging bulb. The wall plugs don't all have standard plate coverings. At more than 4K for two weeks, we didn't get the value we expected. The landlord, when I spoke with him about the TV, made an effort to be helpful and did stop buy once to get us onto Netflix. He seems like a nice guy. But a lot of the problems noted here should be dealt with proactively to make this a more quality rental-- and one closer to our expectations.
