The apartment was exactly as pictured. Quite spacious and comfortable, especially by NYC standards. It was cold outside, but the apartment was warm and toasty with easy to control heating. There was some street noise, but this is Manhattan, so no more than could be expected. We like this area, near Washington Square Park, because there are many great bars/ restaurants/ clubs that are close by. Be aware that this is a fourth floor walk-up...again, not unusual for NYC. Communication with the owner Andy was fast and easy. Overall I would highly recommend this property!
