My fiance and I stayed at The Smallest House in the Village for just over a week this March. Leading up to our arrival Olivia was very helpful and answered all our questions. The place itself is wonderfully quirky and in a perfect location for exploring the city. We spent most of our time in the evenings in the local area (East Village) and the adjoining area of Lower East Side. The place was generally not too noisy although on the Friday and Saturday there was some noise from the cocktail bar nearby (which btw is very good). This is a perfect place to stay if you want your own space at a reasonable price.
