Absolutely best location in NYC. We go to NYC several times a year and I think we found our new favorite neighborhood. I was a little nervous because it's near Houston (which is busy), but it's actually set off on a side street (Bedford) so you don't get any of the downside of a busy location and you're just at the entrance to a series of small streets that lead into the Village. Lots of great restaurants literally next door and easy to get to the subway or West Side highway for running. We were doing a drop-off at NYU and I can't imagine a better location! The apartment itself looks just like the photos--one bedroom has a ton of light and the other is darker, but perfect for those sleeping in late (teens). The building itself was remarkably quiet and we always felt very safe walking around. Rob's a great host--the apartment is fully stocked and everything was easy to find. Highly recommend!!!
