QUINTESSENTIAL VILLAGE APT WITH CHARACTER. ONE OF A KIND!

I have stayed in private apartments before, but this is definitely the most relaxing, quaint, and comfortable place I’ve ever spent time in. The apartment was filled with essentials and had everything I could ask for. I’d like to point out that the apartment was very warm (great heaters), because a few of the days were quite chilly. While dining with friends in the area we ran into a couple of celebrities – this is no doubt a premiere location in New York! Great restaurants and shopping, all around a delightful neighborhood. I would strongly recommend staying here and experiencing the city in a unique, cozy and exciting way! I would choose vacationing here (at a very affordable price) over staying in a hotel any day. In addition, the lovely hostess that met me upon arrival was very nice and accommodating and I had no issues whatsoever during my stay.

I stayed at the West Village Apartment for 4 nights with two 18 year old teens visiting NYC for the first time. We loved the quirky, fun decor, and the kitchen was a Godsend for late night snacks, breakfasts, and storing/warming leftovers.

Marina greeted us upon our arrival with cold water or hot tea... we chose the waters! The weather was wonderfully warm and the stairs had given us a small work out with our luggage =o) It's all good though - we appreciated the stairs throughout our stay - including the extras to the rooftop deck - WONDERFUL escape and great views!

Marina truly cares that your stay is comfortable and offers a couple of nice perks upon your arrival. The apartment is VERY CLEAN (kudos to the excellent cleaning person). Only issue was the toilet wasn't shutting off after the tank re-filled. We were shown how to stop the water from flowing into tank, and since we arrived on a Saturday, I'm sure it's now been repaired.

Just right quarters for 3 people - would be perfect for 2... reminded me of my grandmother's former walk-up apartment... very nostalgic and quaint. Active 55+ would enjoy convenient location walking, subway access just down 1/2 block.

We had a great time - Thank you, Marina!

What a great location! Right in the heart of the Village, only steps from the subway and wonderful Bleecker Street. There is a great bakery right downstairs for lattes and delicious baked good, and everything I needed (banks, cafes, grocery stores) was within a few steps. The apartment was VERY clean and quite comfortable. I am very picky about beds, and found this one to be very comfortable, not too hard and not too soft. The apartment was well-equipped with everything one could need for a few days, plenty of towels and clean sheets, toiletries, hair-dryer and iron, kitchen equipment etc. The apartment is also very quiet, as it faces it a courtyard. There were two small negatives that kept me from rating it a "5" (really I would have given 4.5 stays but VRBO does not allow for that)
there is no sink in the very small bathroom, so one must use the kitchen sink for washing and teeth-brushing, which is inconvenient. Not a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of.

Also, because it does face a courtyard, there is not a lot of natural light in the apartment. Again, this was not a deal-breaker for me as I was really only there to sleep and relax, but if you require a lot of light to feel energized, this might not be the place for you.

Do also note that it is four flights up, with no elevator. I would not recommend for anyone not able to walk up steps.

All in all, a great deal for the price. Fantastic location, clean, quiet and Marina (the owner) was as helpful as can be, assisting with directions, tips on getting around etc. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Marina!
