We loved our stay in Karene's apartment. The location was superb, even better than expected. The studio was clean and cozy providing the respite needed after a long day exploring the city. We were close enough to the subways to get around the city, but also enjoyed just walking around the West Village. You have world class restaurants literally outside your door, as well as an old school diner just around the corner. I especially enjoyed the closeness in proximity to all the world class jazz clubs. We had a wonderful vacation and attribute a lot of it to our stay in Karene's apartment.
