Like all the other reviews say, this studio's location in the heart of Greenwich Village on a side street can't be beat--it is a fantastic base for exploring. Check in and check out were easy. This cozy studio is in the first floor of an old brick 19th century residence. It shows its age, and it's a little quirky, but the decor is very pretty and quaint; the bed and couch are very soft and comfortable; the kitchen items were adequate including a selection of tea and cocoa to create the perfect cup; there were also a number of fun books to read for all ages. Just outside on the sidewalk is a popular bar with an outdoor seating area which is very raucous in the late afternoon and evening, but it quiets down after 10 PM--the street is quiet from midnight until morning. The place is a bit of a fixer-upper with some issues that are a work in progress. The bathroom's entrance had to be changed just before we arrived because of a plumbing issue, and getting in and out of the bathroom through the newly constructed entrance was awkward but doable. The shower was very nice and the hot water was great, but the shower area is not separated from the bathroom--not a big deal, but not optimal, either. Overall, we enjoyed this little pied-a-terre in the Village and would love to return some day soon.
