I had an exciting opportunity to stay in Manhattan for 7 weeks, so I wanted to make it count. Overall, I could not have asked for a better place to call home during my time in NY! There were a few very small booking mix-ups on the dates, but it ended up being just fine.
The location was absolutely amazing! Three blocks from the Hudson, and in the heart of West Village, I felt like I was in reach of everything without the crazy high-rise apartment buildings or super busy streets. So many restaurants, bars, and shops were within very easy walking distance. There is a subway station literally next door, which surprisingly you couldn't hear. I was in one of the two units on the second floor, so it was very cozy and home-like.
The host was awesome! Very professional and responsive if I ever needed anything, which was not often. The price was a little high, but I'd pay it again in a heartbeat - so worth it! The apartment itself was very cozy and tidy. I would say that it had a lot of updates, but the little things like water pressure or air circulation were like any older building you'll come across.
All in all, I loved this place and wish I could stay forever! I hope to come back and stay again sometime in the future.
