I stayed at Emmet's place for a few weeks in April and May, and found him to be a great host, and the apartment in a wonderful location. The location cannot be beat surrounded by restaurants and life in the west village and close to several subway routes. The apartment was clean and simple - perfect for a group of friends or family. The big downfall however was the noise level in the bedrooms. Because both bedroom windows literally face intersecting noisy streets you can hear everything from talking on the streets to extremely loud cars moving past. This made sleeping at night very difficult. Emmett was nice enough to put an air conditioner unit in to muffle some of the sound but it was still quite loud so if you are a light sleeper this is something you may not know about before reserving the place. other than that, a great host, great apartment, and great location.
