The apartment was absolutely perfect for my 3 teenagers and me. We need more space than a hotel room allows and like to be central to restaurants, shopping, and transportation. You can't get more central to the West Village than this spot! The host was welcoming and helpful with local recommendations. We felt very safe as the only 2 apartments in the building are his and this one. It was a little noisy at night, but it is to be expected with the location and there is nothing you can do about the walls and hearing the neighbors! If you like it quiet, I'd recommend packing earplugs. A little price to pay for the great location and well-appointed place he has created. Hope to visit again soon!
