The host (Olga): She's very responsive, very accommodating, and very helpful! Couldn't ask for a better host.
The Apartment:
Positives: The unit is nicely renovated and tastefully decorated. It has everything you need, high-quality dishes and equipments. Everything was spotless clean! Lots of closet room if you're staying long term.
Negatives: It's on the second floor, so you have to walk up two stairs. The in-unit AC is kind of loud.
The neighborhood:
The location is AMAZING! West Village to NYC is what NYC is to the US. Best restaurants in town all within a short walk. Best music venues, comedy clubs, everything you can imagine is very close. They're usually open till 4am. This is definitely not a quiet neighborhood, it's loud and busy and FUN! It's also very safe. Tell any New Yorker you stay here and they'll be jealous. If you don't like this neighborhood, just stay back in Cleveland.
