What a deal of an apartment. It couldn't be located in a better area in NYC, steps away from West Village, the 1 subway line, and the West Side Highway for biking. The apartment room itself is pristine, huge, and clean with (during my stay) a private bathroom. As James noted, the window is mostly blocked because of construction but it's clearly stated in the description. And for the price, this is the best deal to be had. It was perfect while I worked downtown over a week.
James is such a chill host, but also has all the bases covered when it comes to hosting from fast communication to pristine accommodation. You can tell that James has thought deeply about most possibly everything that could come up during an Airbnb stay. James respects your privacy, and I also really enjoyed our talks about his work producing, biking in NYC, the history of the apartment/area, or digging into his depth of knowledge for recommendations across the city. I also did my best to respect his privacy while he mostly worked remotely from his apartment while worked out great since I was mostly out and about in this wonderful city. I would be lucky to stay here again!
