The West Village is my favorite location in all of New York City. The apartment is close to restaurants, shops, and quaint streets with small cafes. I highly recommend purchasing earplugs, however, as the noise from the city is quite intense. Additionally, there are no pictures posted of what the actual apartment looks like from the outside. I was under the impression, upon booking, that it was located on a quaint street with perhaps a stoop. The actual apartment is on a highly-trafficked area next door to a popular burger establishment.
