An absolutely ideal spot for anyone needs to be around West Village, Meatpacking District or Chelsea, close to subways, with great cafes right on the doorstep, and the Hudson (and the Whitney) just a block or two away. It's also quiet, which is rare for NYC; the bedroom looks out on the back and it's very peaceful. The accommodation is simple and functional. Within 6 feet of the front door you have your bedroom, the kitchen and bathroom. Nothing fancy about the room but you won't be spending much time in it. Grab a cup of coffee in the morning, have a chat with Pedro, who is a lovely host, with very fast communication, and then get out and enjoy yourself. The 5th floor walk-up is fine by me, just important for people to be aware of it. I hope to be back.
