Erics apartment is located centrally in Greenwich village. Walking distance to many places which is perfect for vacation. Apartment was clean when we arrived and Eric made checking in easy. He answers quick and is very helpful and communicative.
But, I wouldn't call this a private room. It's a studio. The bed is like 1 meter away from the sofa you can see on the main picture (where host sleeps). The only thing that separates the two is the added wall on the right in the picture. That wall is very thin and it only goes halfway to the ceiling, so you basically share the one room. We were woken up every night at 3-4 am when the host(s) came home. Don't really know if this happens always or if it was just this week, but every night for 4 days it happened to us. Except for these two things (being a shared studio and the late nights) the place is nice and the host seems nice too.
I guess it's perfect for a single person that likes to stay up late, but we were a couple on vacation, there to explore NYC.
