Lydia's apartment is in the heart of Greenwich village with a multitude of shops and restaurants steps away. It is a funky, charming walk-up apartment. Five flights of stairs helped work off some of the great food we ate! My husband was reminded of the apartments he lived in growing up in Berlin in the 60's and 70's. The beds were comfortable and we never heard any noise from other apartments. The bathroom is very small without a sink but the water pressure and temperature were good. Some of the doors didn't close tightly, so if privacy is really important to you, this might be an issue. It was fun to be in a local neighborhood during our stay. Communication before our trip was great and check-in was a breeze. Overall, we had a great stay.
