I would say that Dan’s place is all about location and convenience, near great restaurants (we recommend Trattoria Pesce Pasta for excellent food at moderate prices on Bleecker, also Pearl Oyster Bar and Le Gigot on Cornelia.)You’ll be on a quiet street in a noisy neighborhood. You’ll hear foot traffic and conversations walking past your ground floor windows, but I felt the disturbances were minor. Front door opens onto the street but the neighborhood is safe. You’ll keep the shades down all the time for your privacy. The apartment is Tiny. The bed occupies the vast majority of the bedroom. The bathroom is small. The shower is good. It’s all comfortable for one, tight for 2. It’s not new, it’s well worn. But again it’s a great location and certainly decent value compared to a hotel room.
