The neighborhood was great. Right around the corner from Ninth Street Espresso and much more. The townhouse was very large and as advertised but there were a couple of inconveniences. The owner informed us that we couldn't change the thermostat because it was a Nest thermostat that could only be adjusted from her mobile phone. Thus in order to change the thermostat we had to text her and she was in a different time zone. Needless to say the first night was very, very cold. In addition, when it rained the townhouse leaked in a couple of places. We stayed in two different places in the West Village in the course of one week. I have to say that if I had to choose between the two I would choose John's apartment on 2nd Avenue.
