The apartment has much to recommend it - is in a perfect location for seeing the city, is a short walk from at least three subway stations, and is surrounded by great restaurants and nightlife. It is quiet in spite of all the activity on the street, and we felt we had an authentic experience staying in a walk up in the Village. Washington Square Park is a short walk down the street and the Empire State Building is in view while walking down the street - two big treats. Aspen is a stellar host.
The cons include extremely low water pressure in the shower, and the bathroom had not been cleaned after the prior guests (hair was on the shower walls) and the bathroom sink was also not clean. One of the two beds is quite lumpy.
