We had a great time staying in Karene's apartment. The location is brilliant. Lots of amazing eateries all in walking distance, we were spoilt for choice everyday (do yourself a favor and get a toasted sandwich at Murray's Cheeses - Oprah endorsed!). The best thing about the Village is you are still walking distance to the hustle and bustle of NY. We walked to Times Square, Central Park etc. It was the best way to see everything. The apartment itself is small, but big enough for a couple. A little on the noisy side, but they were doing road works outside our window most of the week so probably more bad luck for us than anything else. Lastly, the rooftop is stunning. Sweeping views of the city which are breathtaking - which was further complemented by the bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival.
