The apartment location is fantastic. West village and close to the subway. The apartment is spacious and is located on the top two floors of a four story walk up. Our stay was during a terribly cold week in NYC and the apartment was really cold. There is no way to control the heat. We are a family of four and the sleeping accommodations are downstairs: master bedroom and another small room with a murphy bed and a twin bed was brought in so that each child could have their own. That was fantastic except that the beds did not have mattress pads. The washer / dryer was not working during our stay but Somar allowed us to use other machines in the building. The walls in the apartment were in tough shape. Holes and marks where there once was artwork. One piece of damaged artwork on the floor, leaning against the wall. Otherwise, bathrooms are quite modern and well done. The kitchen is nice but appliances are worn. Lots of plates, silver and glassware. The living room is comfortable, however the TV's are difficult to use. There were no amenities or any kind of tips / hospitality from the host.
