Staying in the West Village is a dream, and Mike's apartment is so cozy and full of character. It was honestly hard to leave! There's actually a really nice view of the new World Trade Center from the kitchen. I loved seeing that view as the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. For as small a place as it is, it has a kitchen, living room, and bedroom, which I enjoyed over a simple studio.
Sullivan St is full of life, so you will feel right in the mix of things, especially the very young NYU culture. Washington Square Park is a magical place, only a block away. I went there every day, and it quickly became my go-to spot to eat a meal on the go, hang out and watch people, or read a book.
It's a 6th floor walkup, but you get used to it. It's also an old building but that's what gives it its charm.
Mike is incredibly warm, caring, and thorough. He will make every effort to meet your needs. I feel personally connected to Mike and the apartment after my stay. Such a precious experience, highly highly recommended.
