Dain was a very responsive host and made us feel very welcome. His roommate also helped us bring our heavy luggage upstairs, which was greatly appreciated. Fortunately it is only on the second floor. The location is excellent within the West Village just south of Washington Square Park and adjacent to NYU, with many good restaurants, bars and interesting shops all around. The dry cleaner across the street was also handy. However, location's downside is that the street was a bit noisy at night, especially weekends. The apartment is small, not new and modestly furnished which is likely typical for that part of NYC, but it had a well equipped kitchen and good wifi connection, and the queen and full size beds just fit within the respective rooms. The kitchen is in the unit's interior and windowless. Dain responded very quickly to some initial issues we had which were resolved to our satisfaction immediately. I would recommend the apartment for young travelers looking to have a geniune Greenwich Village experience.
