Victoria was an amazing host and the apartment was perfect for our needs. It's such a pleasure to stay somewhere in which the owners take pride and look after even the smallest details (like buying us Brits some excellent tea!)
The neighbourhood is wonderfully quiet (compared to most of Manhattan) but boasts some beautiful restaurants and coffee shops. You can walk to midtown with ease, but could comfortably spend most of your time hanging out in the West Village.
I wouldn't hesitate to book the apartment again.
