I've just returned from a 2 week stay at Deedee's apartment.
First, Deedee is amazing host... responsive and truly tries to make her guests experience seamless and comfortable. I needed a two bedroom place as I was traveling with a friend, and this place fit the bill in that regard. The bedrooms were good size, the beds comfortable, plenty of space to put your clothes (did I mention tons of hangers!!!), nice bed linens, and lots of extra towels, blankets and pillows! There is a small kitchen area that is stocked and if you are looking to make breakfast or simple meals, the space works. We never cooked a thing other than making morning coffee as WHY WOULD YOU COOK when there is every possible food option right outside your door!! There is a little kitchen table with 2 chairs, a bathroom and thats it. There is no 'hang out' area -no living room- but if you need 2 bedrooms and plan to be out and about, this works. The WIFI was fast and there is a desk in each bedroom. There is a washer and dryer in the hallway outside the apartment on each floor.
This apartment is smack dab in the middle of the Village, close to Washington Square park and is a boisterous, lively, noisy area. If you want quiet, this may not be your spot, but if you want non stop energy and options then this is the place. A breeze to access every subway stop!
*This apartment is a 5th floor WALKUP, 81 stairs up to be exact (did it enough times that i counted) so if you have any issues with hauling luggage, or yourself, then this would be a challenge! There is no elevator so heads up! It is an old building, typical for this area, and the stairwell is funky as these old buildings can be.
I go to NYC at least a few times a year and have stayed in many parts of the city to try them on. This was a fun experience to check out the Village, especially if I'd been 20 years younger!!
