Excellent location for exploring the West Village and surrounding neighborhoods, visiting NYU. Perfectly clean private bath -- and I am very particular! -- with nice strong rain shower. Friendly kitty household -- I enjoyed meeting and petting them, though folks who don't love cats might not love that. Bars/restaurants downstairs and across the street were noisy rather late, but it was a Friday night, so not surprising. I hadn't realized there wasn't air conditioning (I'm sure I just missed it), but I was comfortable with the window closed and just the ceiling fan after a warm September day. Ann is friendly, helpful, and otherwise hands-off, which suited me fine! Thank you!
