I had a great time at Ryan's! The location is absolutely perfect. West Village feels close to most things. You can easily walk to all main tourist attractions (but remember good shoes!) or you can get the subway which is literally just down the road.
Ryan is an amazing host, so inclusive and accommodating. Couldn't ask for a better experience as a solo traveler visiting New York for the first time. I always felt safe, Ryan gave me lots of useful tips (try Princes street pizza!) and he included me when he had friends over which was cool.
The room is a good size and the queen bed is so so so comfy! The apartment was clean and I would absolutely recommend staying there. There's room for more than 1 person in the room I was in, so would be great for couples as well:-) This is definitely a catch if you're visiting New York!
