Very pleasant and helpful host, with good advice on restaurants and bikenhire etc. excellent location. This is a very lively area, so may be a little noisy for some, but not a problem for us. Located close to lots of restaurants, bars and bakeries. Within easy walking distance to plenty of other nice areas such as east village, Chelsea, meatpacking district, TriBeCa and battery park. Apartment was a good size for New York, and especially for west village. Comfortably furnished, the only thing I can think of as a negative is maybe some curtains needed ( there were some light linen type nets) on the bedroom windows, as these are at the front of the property, and the traffic headlights flash into the rooms a lot. Overall, really positive stay, would recommend this place!
