I loved staying here. It's different from most AirBNB's in that it's an apartment in a brownstone in New York, owned by a kind and friendly family. The purpose of the apt is literally to rent out -- so it felt like my own. I could put stuff in drawers or in the closet and I didn't feel like I was maneuvering around people's personal items. It felt all my own. Also, they provide cleaning service to come in and change towels and tidy up. That was a MAJOR bonus. What's even better is that they own a charming restaurant around the block and they give you free coffee and breakfast in the morning. I met Evelyn (the owner) and she was super fun, friendly and warm. You can tell that the apt is surrounded by love and well kept up. It's a private oasis in the West Village of NYC, one of the best neighborhoods ever. I used to live in the West Village but moved out of New York last year. I come back a lot for work, and I'm so happy I found this apt because it felt like I was back home in my old hood. I hope to stay there again. It's also really charming and tastefully furnished and tricked out--it doesn't feel like NYC, it feels like a French Country manor. Which, in New York, is a very good thing. So many places in NY are gritty and basic. This apt and the building it's in feel very unique and charming. I really loved staying here. It's also got a really nice bathroom and I'm big on taking baths and meditating. And I was able to do that here. Definitely recommend this place. One more thing: Evelyn would check in on me, make sure all was ok and asked if I needed anything. It's like, they actually care, and that makes all the world of difference. This place is genuine and the pictures are accurate.
