We love the location of Dawnie's place. Both NYU and the West 4th subway station are only steps away. Although the apartment is in an century-old building, Dawnie keeps her place very clean. One of the rules of her place is outdoors shoes off which I love because that's what we do at home too. The apartment is very quiet except for occasional sound of footsteps from next door (but it's not during sleep time). The mattress of the Murphy bed is firm enough for me, very comfortable. I especially like the three glass shelves by the sink in the bathroom as I could place all of my toiletries in view. Besides, Dawnie is a great host, responding to my emails promptly. Overall, a very nice experience!
