We visited NYC for 8 nights and stayed at Doug's apartment in West Village and it was PERFECT!
First of all the location is great! Restaurants, Starbacks and many stores are just around the corner, the subway station is right next to the building, and will take you to downtown or times squer in no time.
The apartment is very VERY specious and cozy, the kitchen was neat and basically had everything we neaded. The living area is large and so nice to sit at with everybody at the end of the day and exchange experiences :)
Only 2 problems- The large bedroom can get a bit noisy at night but it's not too bad. And second, the climb to the 4th floor apartment was not easy, but once you get there it's totaly worth it!
Bottom line, highly recomanded, we will definately love to stay there again! Thank you Doug :)
