We loved the location in the heart of the Village. Perfect for getting around to bars and restaurants. The location is directly on a main avenue which increases the noise considerations. That said, the village flat is everything that you need for a great NYC weekend stay. Gary is a TOP TOP host. Clean towels and linens. Gary also provided a great apartment guide of how to keep things working and some choice locations for surroundings. I would ditch the bakery/coffee shop at the corner (which apparently we weren't hipster enough to get good service) instead, go around the corner a few blocks to Maison Kaiser for better food and coffee! Overall, another great weekend in NYC thanks to Gary's great flat! We would stay there again!
