Brad was able to help me out last minute when another host disappeared on me (and it was a holiday weekend...). The room is up a spiral staircase and adjoins a nice rooftop with views. This is an active apartment with room mates, but they were not in the way at all. The shared bath is downstairs, but Brad provided towels, etc. It feels like crashing at a friend's place, but in a great neighborhood. Brad was GREAT at communication. He met me at the door, gave me the keys, showed me around and then left for his holiday weekend, after making sure I was OK with everything. Checkout was also easy. The location was excellent and the both the roommates and neighbors were quiet. Anyone, particularly a guy, looking for a friendly room in the Village/NoHo (a block from SoHo) would be well-advised to check Brad's place out. It's not a hotel, but that's part of the charm.
