Beautiful apartment with a lovely private room. Everything you could need is provided. Michael does have a small and extremely friendly dog, Gunner. For those worried about pets, there was absolutely no concerns - a perfect co-host. The building is older, but well kept, which gives a great perspective of original West Village architecture. Location is perfect for walking distance to tons of restaurants, bars, Hudson River, shopping, transit. As mentioned in the listing, the kitchen is mostly for using the fridge and heating up food so I would keep that in mind if you prefer to be cooking your meals in a kitchen. Strongly recommend Michael's place, I will be returning.
