Our initial AirBnB booking was cancelled 5 days before our departure. All stressed out whether we could find a place to stay in NY around the West Village neighbourhood we quickly found Alex's place.
After our first mail Alex was very quick to respond and within a couple of hours we were all set to go. Alex' s place is located right between SoHo and West Village and we loved it. It was very clean and nicely furnished. The building also has a doorman and elevator which was a very nice addition. Another bonus for us was the balkony as we are smokers (yes, they still exist ;-). The couch is really comfortable and I have to admit we fell asleep a couple of times while watching netflix at night.
Ofcourse the biggest sellingpoint for the appartment is the location! We only used the subway for a couple of tourist things like central park and time square but the rest of the time we just walked.
There is so much to see and there is such a great vibe in the west village that we spend a lot time here. Like shopping?? Soho is just a 5 minut walk! Feel hungry?? Like a thousand restaurants within a 5 to 10 minute walk!! Want to relax?? Washington square is your backyard!!
Because Alex's appartment is in such a central location there is a bit of noise at night especially on the weekend but we didn't mind because it all adds to the vibe of the neighbourhood. We felt at home in Alex's appartment in a way that a hotelroom never would. We didn't get to meet Alex but he was very responsive throughout our trip without being intrusive.
I would highly recommend Alex's appartment for anyone who want's to feel at home in NY and experience the West Village vibe!! Thank you Alex for a great appartment in a great city!!
