Emmett was a terrific host. He met us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment. He also offered to help with restaurant recommendations and suggestions for touring in the West Village and surrounds. The apartment is spacious and was well presented on our arrival (clean, lots of towels etc). It is on a busy intersection and it did take a night or two to get used to the street noise but the apartment is in a fantastic location. The couch and extra sheets were very handy when a friend came to stay for a night. And Emmett was very relaxed about us leaving our luggage for a few hours after check out. Highly recommended. We'll definitely use this apartment again if we have the chance.
