Truly a magnificent location. If you want to be in the west village near exciting cafes, bars, and jazz clubs, this is the place! There is Easy access to several subway lines, meaning a trip to Central Park, Times Square, financial district, or Brooklyn (or JFK!) is quick and easy without any transfers.
The description of the space is accurate, with your own room and bathroom on the second floor. There are a couple cats on the house, which I loved. One of them came to visit me a couple times. You’ll be living with a quiet, friendly host who knows the area well.
This historic unit is immediately adjacent to a couple restaurants and bars so there is a significant amount of noise in the evenings but Ann did a great job of warning me about that in advance. It was not a problem for me - but if you’re a light sleeper, you may want earplugs (or utilize the awesome sound machine that is provided in the room!)
There is a ceiling fan but no air conditioning. The room could get warm in the hottest summer months but the fan was satisfactory for my stay in June.
If you want to “live like the locals” but still have a space of your own, this is a great option!
