As the host notes in the description, if you are not comfortable with NYC street noise, this might not be the place for you. It's not on a quiet side street, it's on an Avenue, on the 2nd & 3rd floors, downtown, so while the back bedroom is quiet, from the living room and upstairs bedroom you will hear sirens and garbage trucks at all hours. If that doesn't bother you, this is a GEM located at the intersection of SoHo, West Village and West SoHo, 50 feet from the 1/9 subway line. It was super convenient for us as we needed to access Tribeca, Chelsea, the Broadway/Theater district as well as be able to walk to West Village/NYU area. The apartment is fairly spacious (by NYC standards) with a living room, bedroom and 1/2 bath on the 2nd floor and a bedroom, full bath and a front and back terrace (!), on the 3rd floor. Bathrooms were clean, modern and marble. I especially liked the nice touches like a coffee pod machine and an extension cord next to the master bed, so you don't have to start digging behind the bed to look for a wall outlet to plug your phone into. The apartment was perfect location for us and accommodated 1 adult and 2 kids comfortably. You could do 2 adults and 2 kids, or 4 adults, but it might be a tight squeeze with just 1 shower. Overall, our stay was awesome and the host Gabriella was great.
