We had a great stay. Jeff is a very good host (easy check-in, fast answers) and his apartment is in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of restaurants, bars and shopping of all kinds. From the West Village you can explore Manhattan by walking. If you are a runner or walker, Jeffs apartment is great as well: the Hudson Piers are (without many traffic lights) to reach quickly, there you can then walk for miles without being disturbed by traffic. The apartment was fully in line with our expectations, is extremely cheap for this area and Jeff always has a good suggestions for exploring nyc. We would come again.
