This is a wonderful spot for a stay in New York. It is very cozy (small) but has excellent light and windows so you feel like you are really part of the street scene. You are literally feet from several restaurants and all the West Village has to offer. It would be hard to beat the location. Charles Street is lined with beautiful old brownstones and you have a zillion options for dining and nightlife within a five minute walk. And bonus, there is a fire escape that you can (crawl) out onto and have a glass of wine and enjoy the scene. The space itself is small-- but fine for one person--and maybe two depending on how well you get along (haha). The 'kitchen' is limited so you will probably won't be cooking full meals here. Overall I really enjoyed my stay.
