For the thick of the urban landscape, an apartment like this is hard to beat! Wonderfully located, compact but never cramped, clean and well-maintained, this is a fine and convenient place to crash for the night, to watch life pass by from the fire escape, or to use as a home base while you explore the millions of things Greenwich Village, Manhattan, and all New York have to offer. For my wife and I, it was just what we needed while we were there.
As for the host, you'd be hard-pressed to find better. Jeff's consistently available, friendly, and inviting without being intrusive - if you stay here, you'll have plenty of privacy. He explains well how things in the apartment work and is always up for sharing his wealth of knowledge about navigating the neighborhood. His eclectic sense of decor ensures that the place never feels cookie-cutter, for however long you're there. His cat Bea is present and may (if you're fortunate) welcome you in, but knows nooks where she can keep to herself.
Would certainly suggest Jeff's apartment as a solid choice!
