If you don't mind a few flights of stairs and the most thoughtful, considerate and quiet roommate you can imagine, this is the BEST location if you want to try living in the East or West Village and Cristina is so lovely, the dream roommate - just helpful and sweet. My favorite Village airbnb out of quite a few, the rest of which I took the whole place; yet, I prefer this little haven from the hectic city, with Cristina, when I can book it - it is popular. Super clean, quiet, comfortable (heating great in winter - nice window - comfy bed - nightstand and desk large enough for your carryon to remain open, but an empty closet with hangers too) and an incredible bargain to boot.
