For starters the location was amazing. It’s in the heart of west village, with a lively atmosphere. There are amazing restaurants, bars, and sights to see day and night. Overall I was very happy with our decision to book in that area and would do so again!!
However, there were some characteristics that were subpar in the apartment which might be important to future guests. The bed and pillows are worn and lumpy. Ear plugs were a necessity not just to mask the sounds of the city but also the loud creaks from the bed. The bathroom was dusty and showering was not enjoyable. The water comes out scalding hot then ice cold in 30 second intervals (I know it’s new york and the buildings are old but I thought people should know). Lastly the smell in the apartment is pungent, I mean this in the nicest way possible but it was heavy with onions, cigarettes, and b.o...... It was hard to be out in the common area, forcing us to seek refuge in our room and not really utilize all the other amenities advertised in the posting. And icing on the cake was having to kill a 3 inch cockroach that was living underneath our bed :/
