Cute studio apt in West Village
Update this AirbnbListing ID: 1635672
Listing URL: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1635672
Summary: Bright studio apartment with great views in the heart of the West Village, on a quiet street 1 minute away from where all the action is. Dozens of famous restaurants, bars, jazz clubs and shops around the corner, most subway lines 2-5 minutes away.
Space: The apartment is on Charles St, one of the most sought-after addresses in Manhattan. Most sights and museums you'll want to see are reachable within 20-25 minutes. You can stroll down Christopher Street to the Hudson River Park in 5 minutes. Sarah Jessica Parker lives across the street, in case you are into celebrity spotting. Since I moved in recently, most of the furniture is brand new. There is a queen-sized bed, a sofa-bed, a TV-stand, a table, two chairs and shelves. The bathroom has a bath tub, and it's as bright as the main room, thanks to a skylight. There is a fire-escape that I tend to use as a balcony. Since the apartment is on the 5th floor, you'll have a view of the neighboring rooftops and treetops. When the leaves are gone you can also see the Empire State Building and other skyscrapers of midtown Manhattan.

Neighborhood Overview: The West Village is simply the best neighborhood in the city. Ask a New Yorker where he would want to live if rent was not an issue, and he will likely say West Village. It's as central as it gets, it's quiet and leafy, but it's full of bars, restaurants and boutiques, and it's bustling with activity all the time.
Notes: The apartment is on the 5th floor of a walk-up, so it is not suitable for the elderly.
Transit: Subway line 1 stops on Christopher St - Sheridan Sq, which is 2 minutes away from the apartment. Subway lines A, B, C, D, E, F and M stop on West 4th St, which is 5 minutes away. Subway lines 2, 3 and L stop on 14th St, which is also 5 minutes away. If you are flying to JFK you can take the A train from Howard Beach or the E train from Jamaica; either will drop you off at West 4th St.
Access: The kitchen is equipped with plates, glasses, mugs and cutlery, and there are a few pots and pans and basic equipment for cooking. There is a fridge, a combined oven/microwave and a moca pot for making coffee. The TV is a brand new flat-screen LCD/LED Samsung. I have an HDMI cable that you can use to connect your laptop. I've got Wi-Fi that you are welcome to use. You can also use my iron, ironing board and hair dryer. I'll provide you with sheets, blankets and towels.
Interaction: Depending on when you will arrive I will give you the keys in person, or I will ask a friend to do so. Same goes for the departure. If it simplifies the logistics I may consider mailing keys over to you. I will be travelling while you are using the apartment, but most days you will be able to reach me via e-mail.
House Rules: The residents of the building are long term tenants, who I need to get along with, so it is essential to be considerate, polite and quiet. Please don't apply if you are planning to listen to loud music, get seriously drunk, or if you want to have people over. No smoking or pets are allowed.

Reviewer: Helen
Comments: We loved Adam's tiny little place in the Village! It's a studio apt on the 5th floor - as advertised - so space is tight but the location is brilliant. His place was exceptionally clean and tidy - he even left chocolates on the pillow! It was like a hotel room but on a lovely quaint street. Tons of excellent (upscale; check NY Mag reviews) restos around every corner - but also don't miss Corner Bistro a few blocks north for $3 beer + legendary burgers. Adam's a great guy and we'd stay there again happily! Easy, quiet and the location is a dream.

Reviewer: Valerie
Comments: we stayed 6 nights in this beautiful studio , photos match with the atmosphere . This nice studio is "at home", for two people, the views of the neighborhood is very nice, height, overlooking the roofs of the neighborhood. The studio is very clean, new furniture and new walls . This was an experience where we had the impression of living in New York and in a same time "at home". Adam is very effective, responds very quickly to all our questions, restaurant friendly, neighborhood merchants, keys ..;. The neighborhood is very very well placed, close to everything and secure! , Near the metro, with 5-6 different metro lines. Then yes, it is on the 5th floor, but it's worth it( (me 50 years hold and husband 56 years hold) Thanks Adam !!! . Adam est vraiment tres efficace il nous avait donné, toutes les informations avant le depart , Le studio est tres propre, tout est neuf avec une jolie vue en hauteur sur le quartier.Le quartier pres de greenwitch village est vraiment agreable et sans problemes, on a même croisé à Soho Dustin Hoffman !! Vraiment une experience à vivre sans soucis et avec bonheur ;Un point de départ ideal pour visiter à son rythme cette merveilleuse ville avec des new-yorkais vraiment tres gentils Merci Adam

Comments: Adam was a very communicative and honest host. The apartment is everything as advertised and just perfect for what I needed during my 5 day stay. I HIGHLY recommend using Adam and staying at his place. His location can not be beat for quaintness.

Reviewer: Ryan
Comments: When looking for affordable and comfortable accommodations in New York city look no further. My experience with Adam from beginning to end was amazing. He kept in communication with me, answered any questions I had and was very helpful. His place is exactly as shown and in a great neighborhood. His place was quiet at night and offered great access to subway lines and nightlife. I would definitely stay here again. The five story walk up was not a problem as he made it clear that he lived on the top floor. I can't say how much we enjoyed our stay here. Full recommendation to all.

Reviewer: Daniel
Comments: Adam's studio apartment was cute and cosy. The perfect place to return to each evening after walking around the city and seeing the sights. It resides in a fantastic location. Beautiful and traditional, green and classic New York. Great places to eat and drink. Adam was great at organising everything and when we return we will come back and stay there again.

Comments: Adam's apartment was excellent in every respect. Fantastic location. Every amenity was included. Great neighborhood with lots of wonderful little cafes and restaurants nearby. Central and close to transit points for exploring further afield. Neighborhood was safe and locals very friendly and helpful.

Reviewer: Stephen
Comments: Great experience staying at Adam's apartment! Although Adam was outside the city during our arrival and stay, he made other arrangements for us to obtain the apartment keys and let ourselves in. We never actually got to meet Adam but he was extremely easy to contact and responded to all our inquiries. He also offered some helpful advice on where to shop/eat locally. The apartment is small but was exactly how it is pictured, it is located within a very short walking distance to the NYC Subway (which we used extensively with ease), a local grocery store and pharmacy (where we picked up items for breakfast and snacks), as well as local food places and shops. The apartment is located in West Village, and was relatively quiet during our stay so we had no worries about being kept awake after a long day in New York City. The only downside of the apartment was that it is located on the fifth floor (something Adam mentions already in his description) of the building and doesn't have an elevator. Not a big deal to us but to a single person or older couple with a lot of luggage this might be a hassle. The heat didn't help our climb to the apartment but luckily Adam has air conditioning! Overall, Adam was an excellent host, and we would definitely stay there again if we returned to NYC.

Reviewer: Sarah
Comments: Adam's apartment was perfect for a weekend in Manhattan for 2 people. The apartment was exactly as described, and Adam was a very organized, available host. Wonderful location, too!
-
Reviewer: Bruce
Comments: Adam was a very organized host. From getting us keys ahead of time, providing local info and planning our departure is was really simple. It was a nice touch with the chocolates on our pillows too! Great location in the village, close to everything you'll want. The place was clean and exactly what it looks like in the photos. It's a 5th floor walk-up, so be prepared to bring carry luggage up the flight of stairs when you come & go, but that's very common in NYC apartments. Would definitely recommend staying here again with Adam.

Reviewer: Keith
Comments: We had a great stay at Adams studio. It was perfect for our needs and exactly as described by the listing. Adam communicated very thoroughly and was quick to reply. Great location and the stairs were not a problems for us. Great exercise after eating so much good food in NYC. Thanks again Adam for making our first experience in AirBnB a positive one.

Reviewer: Marco
Comments: Adam's studio is like in the photo, very cozy and lovely in one of the most beautiful street of the west village. Adam wasn't in New York when we arrived and for the entire period but he was always ready to solve and fix any problem we could have. The neighbourhood is amazing, full of stores, nice and good restaurant, a lot if bars and jazz bars. I can also say that This experience was very good and positive and I would for sure choose againg adam's studio.

Comments: Excellent stay in Adam's small, cozy apartment. He's very responsive and easy to talk to and the bed was extremely comfortable! Great view from the windows!
-
Reviewer: Joseph
Comments: Adam was friendly and accommodating. Very helpful with the questions we had and responded in a timely matter. The location was great and easily accessible via metro. The only thing extra i would point out (a blessing in disguise perhaps) is the 5 flights of stairs required to acceess it.

Reviewer: Kate
Comments: My best friend and I stayed at Adam's apartment for a week. It was nice and cozy. The AC in the room definitely helped in the hot summer weather in NYC. The bed was nice and comfy and WiFi came in handy on a daily basis. Adam ensured our check-in went smoothly (which it did), even with him being out of the country, and he was so easy to get a hold of by email. There was a slight (minor) issue we had upon arriving, which Adam addressed immediately and professionally. The neighorhood is fantastic! You are walking distance from some amazing restaurants, bars, Subway stations, Chelsea Market & Meatpacking District. We were also just a block (or so) away from the NYPD detachment, which made us feel safe & secure. Travelling with just us 2 girls, you just never know. We couldn't have picked a better location/apartment for this trip!

Reviewer: Bosko
Comments: Adam was a great host. This was a last minute reservation and he was very accommodating. We really liked the location and the apartment met our needs. It was clean, and exactly as pictured and described. Adam had very clear and detailed emails explaining everything about the place sent in advance. We would definitely recommend this place.

Reviewer: Andre
Comments: Adam's cute studio is comfortable, cozy, well-equipped, clean and ideally situated in Manhattan. A perfect starting point for exploring the city. Adam was very helpful and reliable. He thought of everything to make sure there were no annoyances so that we could enjoy our stay. All in all, we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this apartment to friends or family and we are hoping to visit again in the near future.

Reviewer: Joe
Comments: This place is everything I need in NYC. The location is ideal. The place was clean and cozy, the bed was comfortable, the host wrote us a very nice email with places to go, and how to get around. We found the host to be very nice and helpful and his place to be perfect for our stay. I would definitely stay here again.

Reviewer: Simon
Comments: This is a great place to stay in NY. Location is hard to beat and the apartment is nice and well appointed, Adam is very responsive and made everything easy. Will stay here again next time we are in NY if it is available.

Reviewer: Alexandra
Comments: My parter and I stayed in Adams place for 6 days and absolutely loved it. The apartment is right near the subway and West Village is the best neighbourhood, so many bars and restaurants all within walking distance. Adam was very prompt in replying to any questions we had and left us with some good local recommendations. Overall this stay was one of the best we have had through air BnB! We would love to come back one day. Thanks Adam!

Reviewer: Silvia
Comments: Adam è stato molto gentile e disponibile sin dall'inizio: la casa è piccola, ma accogliente, posizionata bene in uno dei migliori quartieri della città, vicino a locali, ristoranti e differenti linee della metropolitana. Se dovete passare qualche giorno a NY e volete visitarla comodamente avendo come punto di partenza un quartiere già di per sè interessante, quest'appartamento fa al caso vostro. L'unica cosa da notare, che per alcuni potrebbe essere un problema, è che si trova al quinto piano e non c'è un ascensore. La nostra esperienza, considerando sia host che appartamento, è stata decisamente positiva.

Reviewer: Melody
Comments: My husband and I stayed for a few days during a visit to NYC over the holidays and this place was perfect for us. Incredible location, very nice apartment, and Adam was a great host giving extremely detailed instructions so everything went smoothly even when our flight was delayed for our arrival and we had to check in at 3am! I would definitely stay again. This was actually my first time doing Airbnb in NYC, as I usually stay in hotels or with friends when I come through, and now I'm a believer! Having the little kitchen area was a plus, so we didn't have to eat every meal out and the studio was spacious (by NYC standards). I have long hair, so I'm often frustrated with poor water pressure in hotels, and the pressure in this apartment was fantastic. The only downside was the building central heating, not individually controlled, that was very hot, but I know this is true in most buildings in NYC during the winter. Overall a great value stay and I would highly recommend.

Reviewer: Enna
Comments: Adam was such a gracious host and made our trip to MLK such a delightful experience! We stayed at the location over the weekend, and never had to walk more than 4 or 5 blocks in west village, all you could ever want is so close by. Adam made everything so easy and even came to assist my friend when she couldn't get the door to open. We had a great time and would absolutely stay again.

Reviewer: Alan
Comments: I loved staying at Adam's place. The apartment was as described, Adam was a good communicator and the neighbourhood was brilliant.
-
Reviewer: Cherie
Comments: Adam had great communication from day one and set up us well with all the information we needed for the apartment before we arrived! The apartment is exactly what Adam describes and we absolutely loved the location as it is close to the subway, great restaurants/diners, laundry places and a small supermarket at the end of the street. If you don't mind walking up 5 set of stairs then this place is great, it gave us the sense that we lived in NYC as a resident. Best suited for a couple but there is a fold out couch also but room is quite limited (which is expected in NY). We would stay here again if we would come back to NY.

Reviewer: Ryan
Comments: Adam was a great host. He was extremely professional and was very good at communicating with me before, during and after our stay. The apartment is perfectly situated in the West Village which made getting out super easy and fast. I would definitely stay again!

Reviewer: Lilli-Ann
Comments: Vi kände oss oerhört välkomna till lägenheten! Adam skickade mail till oss och frågade om vi hade några funderingar om något och om han kunde vara till hjälp på något sätt innan vår resa till New York och frågor som rörde hans lägenhet. Nycklar skickades till oss i god tid, samt hur vi skulle göra rent praktiskt med saker under vår vistelse i hans lägenhet. Rent och snyggt. Rena sängkläder och handdukar. Bra utrustat kök med allt du kan tänkas behöva om du vill laga mat själv. Läget var fantastiskt, nära till mycket, vi tycker personligen att det är i detta område man vill bo om man besöker staden New York! Vi är så nöjda med vårt val av lägenhet och all hjälp vi fick av Adam!

Reviewer: Austyn
Comments: The apartment is very well located and in a nice friendly neighbourhood in the West village. Cosy and comfortable, only thing is to be mindful of the five flights of stairs, but you get used to it eventually. Adam was a very good host, able to accommodate us on our requests and gave us clear concise instructions as well as a good list of things to do.

Comments: Adams place is beautiful! We really enjoyed the fire escape with the city views. The neighborhood is absolutely incredible. Adam was a great host and was very informative. I felt I could rely on him if I needed to. Just make sure you read the whole email for any details ;) Definitely recommend! If I'm in NYC again I would choose Adams place over all the others.

Comments: Adam was one of the best hosts I've engaged with on Airbnb. He was extremely friendly, helpful and accommodative. His apartment was in a great location in the West Village, and 5 min from the metro! Would recommend.

Reviewer: Angel
Comments: I would definitely recommend Adam as a host. He has always been very kind and has made our trip much more easier. He answered our questions very fast and all the information he gave us was very useful. Furthemore, the apartment is very well located, from where you can move easily within Manhattan ( underground is 2 minutes walking) and there are many restaurants in the area.

Comments: Adam est un hôte très arrangeant et réactif aux messages. L'appartement est idéalement situe dans West Village avec une jolie vue sur le quartier. Très près du Stonewall notamment. Il est propre et comprends tout l'équipement nécessaire. Parfait pour visiter la ville en couple ou y travailler qq jours.

Reviewer: Helen
Comments: The flat is in the heart of the West Village which is a hub of activity for bars, live music and restaurants. Two different subway lines are a few blocks away. Quiet neighbourhood given you’re in the heart of a city so could still sleep with the window open. We stayed in the autumn time so the central heating for the condo was alive and kicking. Great shower, instantly warm and plenty of pressure. It’s a compact little place but if you’re out sight seeing all day then all you need is a place to rest afterwards.

Reviewer: Cintia
Comments: Adam's place is cozy and it's located in a very convenient neighborhood (two and five blocks away from subway stations). Before arriving Adam gave us a lot of information regarding the appartment, instructions to get there and recommended places to eat and shop close bye. It was our first time in NYC, and would definitely recommend Adam's place.
