This is a very charming brown apartment in west village, located on a lovely street in a lovely neighbourhood with lots of great restaurants and bars. It does get busy and loud at nights but we didn't mind the buzz - you can close the bedroom door to cut the noise out almost completely. The place had everything we needed. We loved the lounge area overlooking the street. The couch and the dining table were very comfortable and functional. The kitchen was a good size and it had everything we needed. The cupboard space is not huge but with the 2 of us staying for 3 months we managed ok. There is no washing machine in the apartment nor the building but there are a number of very good laundry services around the corner which we used and liked a lot. Our host Ali was really great to deal with from the beginning when we were trying to decide on the place to when we moved in and all throughout. Everything was as described. If you want a quintessential NY experience, living in a brownstone in a lovely west village neighbourhood, you can't go wrong with this place. We loved it and had the most amazing stay.
