Eric was friendly and responsive, and the apartment was comfortable and clean. The bed, especially, was very comfortable. The location is great; it doesn't matter that the immediate street isn't so appealing because it's very close to the W. 4th subway, it's right in the middle of the Village. As others have noted (and as he notes in the ad), it can be loud, especially on Friday and Saturday night. (It's not street noise, which doesn't come in so much; it's directly over a bar--so you can hear the music and yelling, especially in the front room. It's quieter in the bedroom, but you can still hear the bass of the music. I didn't have any trouble sleeping, but I thought I should mention that.) I'd happily stay there again if it were available.
