Having lived in Manhattan briefly, I can tell you that this is the quintessential new york west village apartment, but with a handful of undeniable perks that you just wont find. Live like a local -- but with so much more.
Let's start with the heat -- during the winter it's cold, and this apartment is lovely and warm around the clock. Now, the location is simply unbeatable. Directly in between Washington Sq Park and the highline, this place couldn't be more conveniently located if you tried! Get anywhere in New York, and get back easily, even without the L line. And the outdoor patio area? Wow. A new yorker will tell you what a gem this place is, truly. Sit outside and enjoy the neighborhood noises; schoolchildren playing, businesses running, people chatting, and cars going by. The cherry on top? The bed is incredibly comfortable. The sheets are soft and perfect. You will sleep incredibly well.
Like a real New York apartment, there is not a lot of space. If there is more than one of you, immediately commit 1-2 hours to figuring out where you will put your stuff - otherwise it will be all over the apartment and you will spend your trip dealing with the mess. Also like a real New York apartment, there isn't a ton of natural light. cherish it in the morning when it is around, and don't trip out too much without it, you can always go outside :)
