Good location

The updsides: The apartment is in a fantastic location - right in the centre of the action in West Village, walking distance to lots of restaurants, bars, shopping. We walked to meatpacking district, soho, financial district, union square without much trouble but we do enjoy walking.
The apartment is clean. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen had all the utensils/plates etc.
The owners are very friendly, we got our deposit back straight away, no dramas.
The downsides - it's impossible to sleep in the morning as the bedroom window does not have proper curtains (to block out the sunlight). The bedroom is also above the restaurant courtyard so the restaurant morning activities wake up light sleepers.
The plumbing in the shower (which is in a bathtub) was not the best. The owners use a strainer, which needs to be emptied frequently otherwise you end up standing in the dirty shower water.
Also, the couch was not the most comfortable, particularly for two people to sit together.
I would recommend this for people who don't intend to spend too much time in the apartment and want to be located near good food/bars.
