Eran's apartment in the West Village on West 11th street is a great place stay. I was there for 2 months in the summer/fall and it was a safe, quiet, and charming location. There were always plenty of spaces to park on the street as well if you are planning on having a car. The apartment itself is nice for a solo traveler or couple, but not big enough for more people. The bathroom is very small even by New York standards, but it has everything you need so you can't really complain.
Overall this is a great place to stay if you are looking for to stay in one of the best neighborhoods in the city.
