Jeff is a very hospitable host, his 11 year old kitty is very nice too. He made coffe every morning for us. Really helpful guy, answered every question very quickly and was always willing to help.
His apartment is in the best area of NYC, the West Village. Since you are in New York you´ll hear lots of horns all night long.
Various subway lines, Bleecker Street pizzeria, Eataly, Magnolia's Bakery, Faicco's and many other nice places are all close by. The apartment is small.
The room is basic and bathroom is with all the basics - sink, toilet, shower, and lots of hot water.
The host occasionally has a cigarette with the living room window open and tries to minimize the smell in the apartment. But it can't be helped that occasionally some smoke smell may reach the back room where you are sleeping.
