This is a classic downtown Manhattan apartment. I loved staying here. The location is impeccable, both citywise and buildingwise (top floor, under a cool rooftop btw). You're in the middle of everything, every kind of food and nightlife served all hours of the day, and you can get most other places (boroughs/hoods) with as little economical/time burden as possible given the complexity and size of the city. You are a pleasant walk away from several famous locations such as Washington Square Park, the High Line, NYU, the Con Edison Plant, the East River, etc. However, while the location and logistics are excellent, the thing that surprised me was how charming the space was. It's simple, in very old building, but is moderately refinished and in very good condition. I would wake up (the bed was comfortable too) and sometimes feel like I was in a Bob Dylan documentary or something. It has a very authentic touch. It's quiet as well. It's a little tight for 2 people, but definitely manageable. By myself it was perfect. Also, you need to be able to climb a couple flights of stairs, there's no elevator. I would be very lucky to stay here again.
