We had a fantastic time staying at Katie & Neil's place. The location is great - seconds from the subway, and on the 1st floor (no walk-up with luggage - yay!).
They couldn't have been more helpful - sending us lots of information in advance of our stay and checking in with us while we were there to make sure we were comfortable. We really appreciated their help and kindness on the last day when we needed to leave the apartment earlier than we had planned.
The apartment itself has a great living space, and two double bedrooms so we had plenty of room. Yes, it's a bit busy at night, but that's the price you pay for being in an exciting neighbourhood! And it's worth it for all the great restaurants, bars and cafes just minutes from the front door. Security at the building was very good and we had the impression that everyone who lived in the building cared for it and for each other's safety and comfort, which was really nice.
Our only regret is that we weren't able to stay longer! But we'd love to come back, and we would recommend anyone wanting to stay in the West Village to check out this apartment.
Thanks guys!
