Summary: Stay in the West Village's most sought after tree-lined street. Doors up from Carrie's Sex & the City apartment and across the road from the city's chicest restaurants like Extra Virgin and Sant Ambroeus. Also near the Spotted Pig and Little Owl. A classic brownstone building. A walk up on the 4th floor (three flights up). Generous living space. Please note that the bathroom has not been updated for a while and not suited to people seeking modern features. This is old school New York!
Space: This is a classic old school, New York West Village Brownstone. It is the BEST location in the city. It has "character," which makes is uber cool and bohemian, but also means: - You need to walk up three flights of stairs - There is no TV - The shower takes 7 to 10 minutes to heat up (but it does) - The kitchen is simple (no dishwasher) If you are patient with the above, you will love the space. It is situated on one of the most sought after corners in the West Village. Yet, very quiet. There is A/C in the bedroom, a FREE laundry in the building and a wardrobe in the bedroom.

Neighborhood Overview: This is the most sought after neighborhood in the city. Neighbors include Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, Helena Christensen etc. The best restaurants: Extra Virgin, Waverly Inn, Cafe Cluny, Spotted Pig, Saint Ambrouse, L'Artusi, the list goes on and on. And yet quiet - there are strict rules in the West Village that keep the noise down at night. Tree lined streets. Close to the Hudson River path - great path for a jog or stroll.
Notes:
Transit: Close to the 1 train (Christopher Street) and West 4th Street Station (BDFM and ACE lines.
Access: As of now I plan to sleep in the living room (in a small bed behind the sofa), however a small nook may be constructed in the living room, where I will sleep (but this is still not confirmed). You are welcome to use the living area freely.
Interaction: I'm pretty busy - I work full time and am about to start studying, plus I go out fairly often. I'll say hello if we cross paths.

Reviewer: Phil
Comments: Margaret, my host we was very accomodating and we moved around her apartment giving each other respect for the space we shared. She was very open and honest in her expectations and it was a pleasure staying in her apartment.

Reviewer: Oran
Comments: Margaret embodies everything you could ask for as an AirBnb host. She promptly replied to any and all messages and gave forewarning about the quirks of her apartment. There were no surprises at all once I arrived; everything was exactly as she described. The location is great; the apartment is on a quiet street with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Subway stations are a few short blocks away. Margaret's apartment is clean and furnished well enough to be comfortable while still experiencing classic New York. I absolutely love how the apartment was decorated. Simple, yet cozy. This apartment is definitely one of the most enviable locations in the West Village.

Reviewer: Adam
Comments: You can't get better accommodation in Manhattan if you're looking for a nice, local and private space. Margaret's apartment is super super clean, exactly as described and located in the best neighborhood of NYC - the West Village. There are tons of cafes, restaurants and pubs around, subway lines are 5 to 10 minutes away and the place is very quiet and private. The bedroom is nice with A/C and large closet, the bed is comfortable and linens are new and clean. Margaret is very nice. She gave us some local tips and even a printed handout with best local coffee places. She works and studies so we had the apartment for ourselves majority of time. No problems at all. Booking this place is the best thing you can do to directly improve your NYC experience. And bring chocolate ;)

Reviewer: Jessenia
Comments: Margaret was a really responsive host and her apartment was located in the most ideal neighborhood. Her place was clean and well kept, and West Village is filled with adorable restaurants, bars, and stylish shops every corner you turn. I'd definitely recommend Margaret's place to anyone who's looking for a quiet place to crash that is close to everything you'll need/want to see in NYC. Thank you Margaret!

Reviewer: Lydia
Comments: We really enjoyed staying at Margarets place. The apartment is very cute and the room is perfectly tidy, clean and with a great view. The location in the West Village is perfect, restaurants, shops and the subway just a stone’s throw away from the apartment. And of course it’s a great starting point to discover the city on foot.

Flexibilité pour le Check out vraiment apprécié et qui nous a permis de bien profité du dernier jour. On n’a peu vu Margaret pendant le séjour mais elle était toujours dispo par message si besoin.

Room as per pictures and description no surprise ! Margaret is a nice host, discret and responsive . Her communication is kind, smooth and efficient . We did appreciate her flexibility with late check out which allowed us to enjoy our last day until last minutes . We did not see Margaret a lot during our stay but she was always available over message when needed. The location is great with a lot of good spots around including Magnolia bakery (2min) and high line and Chelsea Market (7min by walk) would definitely be back to this place !!! We do recommend . Thanks Margaret
