We just returned home from 8 nights at Lauren's West Village apartment and we loved it. The location is perfect and served as our home base in NY as we explored the surrounding neighbourhoods and we walked almost everywhere including a 1.5 hour trek to Brooklyn. The apartment is 4 floors up, so be prepared to get some exercise, and the building is not fancy on the outside or common areas. The apartment is extremely quiet and you will hear the birds in the morning and very little NYC street noise at night.

Lauren was also flexible in allowing us to customize the trip to meet our needs including early checkin and late check-out times. She was also very communicative and available to reach by phone, email and text very easily.

If you are looking for a great alternative to a hotel, I highly recommend.
