This place is in the thick of it - in a good way! This street is jumping until 3-4am with great people watching, comedy clubs, food and drink. (I stayed in August.) I had a blast hanging out on the stoop people watching Fri/ Sat night - it was party central. Fun! I was able to walk everywhere and hardly took cabs/ Uber. I loved walking the 2 blocks to Washington Sq Park and right across the street for pizza, lattes and a great affordable massage. I am not complaining just stating the facts of the space: The room is small. No street sounds but the AC is loud in the quiet room (but felt amazing on the hot nights!) There is a tiny kitchen table to sit at but no hang out space in the apt. (Worked for me as I was there to explore the city but good FYI.) The bathroom is private and just down the hall but you need to unlock/ lock it each time. You are 2-4 blocks in every direction to cool shops, restaurants, bars, parks and subway stops. The host was lovely and accessible through the phone app. Loved exploring this part of NY!
