We stayed in Amanda's apartment for two months. Overall, we can't say enough good things about the location and Amanda herself, but have slightly mixed feelings about the apartment itself.
First, the location is fantastic -- Amanda's apartment is nestled in a charming street in West Village, steps away from lively streets with tons of hip restaurants and bars while still maintaining a unique (to Manhattan) air of peace and tranquility. This place became our oasis within the big city, and we truly did come to think of it as "home" over the course of our stay, especially after coming back to it after a long day of exploring other parts of the city.
Amanda is a truly incredible host, going out of her way to make sure we had what we needed throughout our stay and going well beyond the responsibilities of a typical Airbnb host on several occasions. The few minor hiccups we had with the place were addressed by Amanda promptly and with great humor. Ultimately, it felt more like staying with a friend than at a vacation rental!
The apartment itself was airy, well decorated, and overall a comfortable place to spend a couple of months. We particularly appreciated the dual A/C units, the amazing picture window in the living room, and the large TV. On the flip side, it is in a very old building and has not been recently renovated, so certain parts feel a bit rough around the edges (bathrooms, uneven floors/counters, etc.). Other quality-of-life items to note are that there is a fair amount of road noise at night and a lot of mosquitoes seem get into the apartment (especially after it rains), so do come prepared for both.
All that said, the apartment definitely has charm, and is probably best-suited for folks who prize an "authentic" NYC living experience over the trappings of a modern luxury apartment. This is what we came for (and what we got), and it was truly a memorable stay on all counts!
