Reviews

• Reviewer: Basheer

  Comments: Ann's place is absolutely gorgeous. The coziness mixed with the open architecture really makes it feel like a special place. Ann was really accommodating and nice, the area is super convenient and hip, and I had a great experience overall!

• Reviewer: Dennis

  Comments: Ann's place is in a great location. Close to everything. West village is a great place for foods, bars and other things. Ann is pretty nice and the place is very clean and comfortable.

• Reviewer: Andrew

  Comments: Great location in NYC and a kind and gracious host.

• Reviewer: Melissa

  Comments: I had a great stay with Ann in the private room and bath in townhouse. I was in NYC for an all day workshop and needed a place to sleep and shower and the accommodation was perfect for one person. The location was in walking distance of my workshop and a lot of great restaurants. Ann was also very helpful with answering my questions prior to arriving and showing me around the house. I will definitely consider booking another reservation in Ann the next time I am in the Soho area.

• Reviewer: Patrick

  Comments: Though I had a crazy schedule and too little time to enjoy the village and Ann's hospitality I couldn't have been more pleased by the gracious and welcoming experience and the remarkable setting. I highly recommend a stay here for matchless access to the heart of this vibrant manhattan neighborhood.

• Reviewer: Steven

  Comments: Ann was a gracious host and her townhouse is in a great location with many restaurants within walking distance.

• Reviewer: Thibaud

  Comments: I enjoyed my stay at Ann's house. I came to New York for business and I wanted to feel like home; I didn't want to stay once again in a big anonymous hotel chain. I turned to AirBnB on Greenwich Village and immediately liked Ann's house pictures. She responded within minutes. Her house is full of souvenirs from trips around the world, tapestry, books, antiques, pictures, etc. It felt cozy, and in my mind I was transported to a different world. I had my own bathroom and room. The house is located at the heart of Greenwich Village, walking distance to bakery, cafés, restaurants, shops, etc.

  Comments: Ann was a gracious host. Her house is simply stunning. The location couldn't be better. Amazing architechture with a stylish and tasteful interior, topped off by the coolest pull-up bar I ever used.

• Reviewer: Philipp

  Comments: Great place, very well located. Ann was very friendly and responsive.

• Reviewer: Romain

  Comments: Ann has been a great host. We strongly recommend her and her lovely space in the heart of the most trendy neighborhood of NYC! Romain

  Comments: Was in town for a conference. Great place and very nice host. Excellent location.

• Reviewer: Bridget

  Comments: When I stayed at this West Village townhouse, my host was there. I would say everything is as described, however I must warn future guests about the cats. Although they are not allowed in the guest room, the townhouse smells of cat spray. Granted this is something that you may become accustomed to after a day or two, but in my opinion, it is quite strong. I did not talk to my host about this while I was there, as I didn't feel as if I had any other options for moving. I kept the windows open, and used the fan... And by day two I only noticed it when I first came in.

• Reviewer: David

  Comments: Cool neighbourhood, lovely house.

• Reviewer: Hank

  Comments: I delayed in booking a place to stay for a recent work trip. Luckily, Ann responded and confirmed within an hour of my inquiry and I was able to check in later that day. Ann was there to let me in and gave me a tour of her home. As Ann lives here and works from home, this isn't a place to hang out in. For the right person, this means that you have a glimpse into a gorgeous and eclectic NYC brownstone and a lovely bedroom and bathroom to retire to at the end of the day. As Ann has mentioned herself, this set-up is more suitable for solo travelers and/or people on business. In any case, it was perfect for my work trip and I loved the rugs and textiles from around the world that made up the interior design of the room. The location is unbeatable, right around the corner from cafe's and restaurants, and a few blocks from the W 4th subway stop from where you can get anywhere.

• Reviewer: Andrea

  Comments: There are AirBnB places you stay in to save money on a hotel, and then there are AirBnB places so special that they'd be worth the visit regardless. This falls into the latter category. Perfectly-located in the West Village, this beautiful house from the 1800s is impeccably renovated and beautifully decorated. The room, up a narrow winding wooden staircase (so beautiful and unique!) is extremely comfortable and quiet by NYC standards, and the bathroom is well set-up, if cozy. I was there on a cool August week and the ceiling fan was all I needed. I would highly recommend this spot for anyone traveling to NYC.

• Reviewer: Thomas

  Comments: I really enjoyed my stay. Communication with the host was fast and efficient. The location is perfect, and the house is very beautiful and unique. The room was spacious and comfortable.

• Reviewer: Jen

  Comments: Very comfortable place to stay. Brief meet up with Ann but very informative as to all the details of the place. The room was well stocked with fascinating books.

• Reviewer: Brady

  Comments: Ann was a very good host, and the place was very well maintained. Great neighborhood, private bathroom definitely a plus. I'll definitely stay there again if I get a chance. I love cats but I'm slightly allergic to them, but they weren't an issue at all. No cat smells, etc that others left comments about. I was a little late leaving in the morning, so there was a 5 minute cross fade as the other guest arrived, which she was very understanding about! My first airbnb experience, and it was great.

• Reviewer: Katherine

  Comments: Thank you very much for hosting me. I very much enjoyed your beautiful home and being so close to my travel points.

• Reviewer: Yasmine

  Comments: Ann was a perfect host and her house was warm, welcoming and friendly. It's in a perfect location and great if you want to have a real New York experience. Thanks Ann!

• Reviewer: Camilla

  Comments: Had a lovely time at Ann's beautiful townhouse,stayed five nights for work. Best location in the city. Great shower - nice private bath,and Alice spaciuos room. Sleep quality was so so. There are two bars just outside,so it gets quite loud at night,so didn't sleep much the first and second night. But loved my stay and would stay again for sure.

• Reviewer: Josh

  Comments: Ann was a great host. Friendly but unintrusive. The house is visually pleasing and comfortable. Tons of great books and nice pieces of furniture with a great sense of style. The location is wonderful. Tons of great restaurants and clubs/bars as well as shops. The cats are nice guys as well.

• Reviewer: Catherine

  Comments: A very nice and charming apartment and bedroom, excellent location, the room and bathroom were very clean. The host is reliable and very respectful, clear and straightforward in her explanations which I appreciated. Some noise in the street in the evening but not enough to be troublesome. I would recommend it without any hesitation.

• Reviewer: Mara

  Comments: I stayed at Ann's beautiful townhouse for five nights and I mostly enjoyed it. There are a lot of pros, but also two cons. Ann is very friendly and helpful. She was always there when I had questions. The location is simply great. It's only a two minutes walk to the next subway station (W 4 St). The neighborhood is charming and safe, there are tons of cafés, restaurants and shops nearby. I especially liked Amy's Bread (Leroy/Bleecker) for Breakfast and Coffee, the Risotteria (Bleecker) and the fantastic Falafel at Taim (222 Waverly Place) for dinner. My room on the first floor was big enough and clean. The bed was comfy and there was also a small couch to sit and relax. With regard to the location it is really tough to find a Hotel room for this rate with similar amenities. But there were also two little downsides. As a guest had mentioned before there was a light smell on the ground floor. It might be from the two cats, although there are exceptionally clean and very cute by the way. But since I slightly noticed the smell in my room and had to work there for a while, I bought a small air refresher. After that it was fine. Second, the noise level. For New York, the room is mostly quite, since Leroy Street has almost no through travel and there is no Bus station nearby. But there is a bar vis-à-vis and another one nearly beside the house. On Friday and Saturday both seem to be opened until 4 am. Although I used ear plugs, I woke up a few times during these nights until 4. On the other nights it was absolutely no problem and the noise level from the bars was low. On the whole I would return – but maybe not on a Friday and Saturday.

  Comments: Ann was really busy but she gave me all the info I need she looks fantastic, the place was nice and private, clean and confortable. many city guides in different languages were available for free, hope to come back

• Reviewer: Anya

  Comments: I very much appreciated the beautiful room and the location at Ann's NY apartment. The bed was very comfortable and to be surrounded by interesting books and art was wonderful. Super restaurants close by and Washington Square not far. The ensuite, compact but functional and very clean. Ann was very helpful. A great stay!

• Reviewer: Georgina

  Comments: Ann's lovely house was the perfect base for a whirlwind work trip to New York. It's a very large bedroom for Manhattan -- though (as others have noted) it could have done with a proper mirror -- and I really liked the decor. Everything was clean and elegantly presented and NB I didn't find the bar opposite a problem. The location is AMAZING. I am a keen runner and ended up going for long runs down the Hudson shore (just at the bottom of Leroy Street) almost every day because it was so perfect. Great places to eat and shop abound (Snack is a great Greek place over the road, Spunto did wonderful pizzas, Bread was great for breakfast but there were hundreds more places I never got the chance to try). I'd thoroughly recommend staying here.

• Reviewer: Lisa

  Comments: Ann was a gracious host and was very patient with my Rrival and departure despite some last minute delays on my part. Apartment was as described and if anything more beautiful and better location than description conveys. Enjoyed my stay and would recommend.

• Reviewer: Meryl

  Comments: I strongly regret staying here. The host was rude and aggressive. I did not feel welcome and the stay was extremely uncomfortable. The TV was broken and she actually told me to fix it. She then said I should have my relatives fix it (my relatives live in NY). Also, read the entire listing - your movement in the house is highly restricted. I assume the host will leave a rude and aggressive response like she has done to other guests. Know this before you stay here.

• Reviewer: Eyenga

  Comments: It was simply fantastic to stay with Ann. From the minute I arrived to the time I had to depart, it was great to get to know her, talk about friends we have in common, and share a bit of my life and art with her. She reciprocated generously, and I will definitely stay with her again. My suite was perfectly stunning: worldly, calm, and full of unique books and art. I cannot think of a better place to have landed for my birthday weekend. Thanks, Ann!!

• Reviewer: Patrick

  Comments: As always a wonderful place to stay while visiting New York. Restful and unique!

• Reviewer: Eyenga

  Comments: It was great to stay in Ann's home again. My last visit was spectacularly rich, and this one followed suit. Ann greeted me warmly and we shared art-world updates, which is perhaps one of my favorite things to do in the world. She showed me up to the suite and pointed out the gorgeous new bedding, which I appreciated both aesthetically and practically. Throughout my stay she was welcoming and warm and also gave me plenty of space to digest my full days. All in all, a much appreciated home base!! Thank you, Ann!

• Reviewer: Maria

  Comments: Ann is a very friendly host, very discrete and quiet. The room is beautiful and decorated in a unique way, as is the house. I only got to see the living room area in the rest of the house but it was fabulous. You get your own private shower room and toilet, on your own floor, which is great in terms of privacy and independence. This is an opportunity to stay in an authentic West Village Townhouse, superbly decorated and very convenient for metro (W4St less than a 10 min walk) and all kinds of shops and restaurants literally at your doorstep.

• Reviewer: Peter

  Comments: I absolutely loved staying with Ann. Her townhouse is warm, charming, eclectic, homey - a perfect retreat in the middle of the city. The room was decorated with artifacts from what has to be a lifetime of travel and research. I felt smarter just sleeping there. Having a couple of very affectionate cats check in on me from time to time was an added bonus. Will definitely try to visit again soon.

• Reviewer: Sarah

  Comments: Ann, Thank you so much for being such a lovely host. I very much enjoyed staying in your home for my stay in West Village. You have a wonderful oasis in such a fantastic spot. I will certainly come and stay again if our calendars align. Best, Sarah

• Reviewer: Laura

  Comments: Booked just 2 days in advance, Ann was very accommodating. Her charming room and the small but functional bathroom offer everything one needs for a short stay in NYC's best neighborhood. Ann's historic home is extraordinary - a very special, eclectic space that the pictures don't quite do justice. As a host, Ann is well-organized, very flexible, easy-going, and quiet/reserved but friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed being surrounded by Ann's global collection of objets d'art as well as her purring felines.

• Reviewer: Asaf

  Comments: Great and friendly host. Ann is a very accommodating person. The location is as good as it gets, in a safe and vibrant section of the West Village. The room is cozy and charming. Ann will make sure you will never want for fresh towels :) I recommend this listing highly.

• Reviewer: Alberto

  Comments: Awesome place to stay in the city. Ann was a great host and has a lovely and charming house in the best part of Manhattan. The room was very pleasant and full of character. I would definitely come back :)

• Reviewer: Julia

  Comments: Ann was great! Was flexible meeting me when my bus was late. The room was as advertised and had everything I needed. Would definitely return.

• Reviewer: Lisa

  Comments: Ann was a great host - available and welcoming when I arrived. Good communication prior to arrival. Superb location, walking distance to restaurants, bars, clubs, and subway. House was amazing, modern and spacious. Room was cozy in a good way, very clean. Private bathroom. Would definitely stay again.

• Reviewer: David

  Comments: Ann was a welcoming host; and very timely in her response as well. The room was lovely, and one cannot beat the location. I'd highly recommend this rental.

• Reviewer: Matt

  Comments: Beautiful, eclectic residence. Bedroom suited me fine except for noisy street at night.

• Reviewer: Angela

  Comments: Ann's home is in a fantastic neighborhood with countless restaurants and bars just steps away. The home was beautifully decorated with lots of light and two friendly cats. The spacious rooms and private (and very clean!) bathroom is a big plus. Ann was a great host who is clear, concise and friendly, I had a lovely stay!

• Reviewer: Neeta

• Reviewer: Rachel

  Comments: Very convenient accommodations - close to everything! Ann is very helpful and quick to respond. Thanks for a great stay :)

• Reviewer: Anuj

  Comments: Stayed here on a business trip during NY fashion week. Hotels were $600 per night plus. I stayed at her very central W village town house for a LOT less than that. It's exactly as described - a bedroom and small bathroom on its own floor. Great for one person. Very centrally located wit good wifi and Ann was great and very amenable. Got me the key when I arrived (an hour earlier than I expected) and worked with me to easily get the key back upon departure. Left me fresh towels and even some teabags for my morning cuppa.

• Reviewer: Jill

  Comments: This woman is neurotic and irritated about everything. Not suited to having Airbnb guests in her home. Constantly screening out restrictive house rules. Telling me she is stressed and doesn't get much $ for letting me rent. While her place is an excellent location and the room is nice, Ann is a basket case. Try other locations first

• Reviewer: Tracy

  Comments: Ann was very welcoming and her place is delightful, with antique floors and a wooden spiral staircase that must be over 100 years old! You also can't go wrong with such a great location in the W Village of NYC. I know the city well, so I was happy to come and go as I pleased, and Ann made it very easy for me to do that. It was great to have my own bedroom and bathroom space, but I also appreciated that she was there if I had needed her for anything (not that I did, but you just never know!) She's a very interesting person and she struck just the right note in being there as a host, but also letting me do my own thing. he bedroom is quite large for a NYC place, but still, it's NYC and the W Village, so anyone travelling from out of town needs to keep in mind. It's plenty of room for 1 person, and maybe even 2 people as long as you realize it's a NYC brownstone. I would recommend Ann's place to anyone who wants to have a unique place to stay in the city. I really hope that I can stay here again the next time I come to NY!

• Reviewer: Martin

  Comments: Ann ist eine freundliche Gastgeberin, die sehr gut kommuniziert und einem alles erklärt was man zur Unterkunft wissen muss. Sie hat ein paar Regeln, an die sich der Gast halten soll, und das ist auch in Ordnung. Das Zimmer war exakt wie in der Beschreibung. Die Einrichtung ist sehr gemütlich und bequem. Es fehlt Platz um Klamotten zu deponieren. Die Lage ist fantastisch! Die Strasse ist nachts ruhig, aber bis 11:00 Uhr macht der Pub gegenüber Krach, weil alle Raucher draußen stehen. Das Bad ist aber definitiv zu klein. Die Dusche ist gleich das Bad, beim Duschen wird alles nass. Ich denke ich würde nächstes Mal lieber eins teilen wenn es dafür größer ist und eine richtige Dusche hat.

• Reviewer: Sarah

  Comments: Anne was a lovely host and was very thoughtful regarding my comfort. The apartment is in a great location, it's clean, quiet and peaceful and the bed is very very comfortable. Although the room is within the apartment, it's very private as you have a level to yourself. Highly recommended. Thanks Anne!

• Reviewer: Larry

  Comments: Ann was welcoming and accommodating. Her townhouse is a gem and although the photos are great, in reality it's better. The guest room is unique, warm, and beautiful; you're in your own world there. Thanks, Ann!

• Reviewer: Cori

  Comments: I had a great stay at Ann's. Checking in and out was easy, and I appreciated the house details being printed out. The room is super comfortable, clean, and as described and has a great heater as it's starting to get chilly in NYC! And the bathroom is a bit odd, as has been mentioned before, but it's such a score to have your own bathroom and it looks out at the back garden which is really cool. The location is awesome, near cafes & subway and easy walking to so many other great neighborhoods. It is across from a bar, but I never needed the white noise machine, I slept really soundly. And in total there is only 1 flight of stairs... no crazy walkups. I highly recommend!

• Reviewer: Eric

  Comments: The bars next door produce loud noises into the wee hours of the night. Otherwise, the location is perfect for exploring the Village and Soho.

• Reviewer: Pagan

  Comments: Lovely room in a great location

• Reviewer: Jackie

  Comments: This was a terrific place to stay, and I was made to feel very welcome and looked after. The room is beautiful and the en suite great. The entire space is very fascinating with artwork and books galore. The location is second to none really, just of Bleecker.

• Reviewer: Brandon

  Comments: Ann was flexible and welcomed me warmly into her beautiful home. The house is beautiful but you really only get access to the middle floor (not the kitchen or backyard it seems). That being said it was a perfect stay and it is located in one of the most convenient beautiful areas of the city.

• Reviewer: Brigitte

  Comments: I had such a wonderful time staying with Ann in her beautiful house. Especially spending time with the cats!

• Reviewer: Kay

  Comments: I had a very enjoyable stay at Ann's. The room was clean and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was just outside the bedroom door which was very convenient. The neighborhood was nice and I found it relatively quiet. It served my needs perfectly.

• Reviewer: Brian

  Comments: A beautiful room, in a great location. The listing was very accurate in every detail. The cats were friendly, but not intrusive. The bath small, but functional. Would love to stay here again.

• Reviewer: Peter

  Comments: Ann was great, very chill, and has the vibe like she's lived in Greenwich Village for decades. The place is just as described, and on a relatively quiet street right near lots of happening spots. If you want the authentic Greenwich Village experience, I would recommend. The bed might be a little tight for two, but that's my only niggle -- everything else was super smooth.

• Reviewer: James

  Comments: In short: Such a great place. If you are interested in the West Village OR Hoboken, NJ, stay here. In particular: - The location is second to none. I'm sure there are tons of great locations in the West Village, but I don't any are better than this. Ann's place is on a side street that is relatively quiet, but still very lively. The windows of the guest room look out over the street, so it feels like you're really in the Village. - Ann is super nice, communicative, and knowledgable about the area. She was always available for questions. - The place is beautiful, the shower is fantastic (the entire bathroom is the shower; sounds odd but works great and is really sort of cool), the guest room feels very private. You truly have your own space while staying here.

• Reviewer: Gaurish

  Comments: Mine was last minute booking. Ann was accommodating & Welcoming. She made sure that was present when I arrived & attended to my requests. Her home is historic & cultural ring to it. She as vast bookshelf in the room which is rare these days. the bed is comfortable. the green couch is nice & relaxing. she has installed a white noise machine in the room which super useful to tune-out outside noises. Its location is great. everything is nearby. I had a good stay except the checkout process. My flight was in afternoon but I was asked to leave exactly at 11AM which I can understand as that's the checkout time. Hence, I complied. However, even when I checked out was the room & was waiting for my uber in the common area. she kept asking when would I leave. I felt unwanted. So I took my luggage & preferred to stand on street while waiting for my uber to take my to airport instead being inside of the house where I felt unwanted. So you are planning to stay here, I would advice you to discuss the checkout process upfront.

• Reviewer: Patrick

  Comments: I was in NYC for a concert. Ann's was great making sure I had everything I needed, she even lent me an umbrella when the weather took a turn for the worst. It was easy to get in and out of the house and the location is perfect.

• Reviewer: Huston

  Comments: Ann's place is in an ideal location. It is perfect launching pad into the city!

• Reviewer: Ganesh

  Comments: Ann has a beautiful home, and it was everything I needed for my short stay in New York City. From the location, to the amenities, to the room itself - everything was how Ann described and more! I have visited New York City countless times in the past, but her home truly made me feel like I was a new visitor to the city. I felt fully immersed in the culture of the city. Great home, and I fully recommend staying here!

• Reviewer: Maurits

  Comments: Excellent location, excellent host, beautiful room!! Recommended!

• Reviewer: Jordan

  Comments: Host was friendly, punctual, and had a very interesting book collection in the guest room.

• Reviewer: Claire

  Comments: I had to change accomodation suddenly and booked this apartment at midnight on the day I was arriving. Ann got back to me straight away to confirm even though she was sleeping! She was a wonderful host, very helpful and always welcoming. The area is one of my favourites and the apartment is just steps away from Bleeker Street (cafes, shops, whatever you need), very close to transport and the lovely Hudson River. The apartment is stunning, in a gorgeous street which was quiet and safe. There is a bar across the street but it was not busy or noisy at all, if there was noise there is a machine provided in the room with sounds like white noise or rain which you can use to help you sleep. Thanks for a great last minute stay!

• Reviewer: Tom

  Comments: Ann kept in touch with me before and during my stay to arrange to let me in , showed me where things are and how they worked and even offered to let me leave my luggage there after check if I wanted. The place is in a great location in the Village right in the middle of things. I was attending a technical class at AbleCine video rental house which was about 10 minutes walk. Daddy-O's pub is just around the corner and their kitchen stays open late, just past the pub is The Grey Dog which has a great breakfast selection. It was nice to just walking around the area which is designated as historic on one plaque I saw.

• Reviewer: Jordan

  Comments: Ann was an incredible host with a beautiful home...within 5 mins' walk of everywhere I wanted to go in Greenwich Village, and only half an hour's walk from Penn Station. Her home is so beautiful and interesting, and I was very comfortable.

• Reviewer: Bill

  Comments: Ann is an excellent host, very accommodating and communicative. I felt instantly at home in her home and the whole experience was very easy and comfortable. Everything is very much as per the description, so no surprises and the neighborhood, the West Village of NYC is really great. Extremely calm, safe and fun. Lots of great restaurants and things to do. All in all, an excellent quick trip and having Ann's place as a home-base was great!

• Reviewer: Richard

  Comments: This accommodation was exactly as described, ann was there to greet me, and I felt comfortable the moment I entered the home and my room. There are amazing artifacts and art work everywhere each day I discovered something new. In addition a treasure trove of books. The neighborhood is one of my favorites in the city and I know I will return. Subway is close by, buses are available, and you don't have to walk far in the morning to get a great cappuccino.

• Reviewer: Ashlinn

  Comments: I was running a bit late for my original check-in time and Ann could not have been more gracious about it, which set the tone for the entire stay. I was in town for a conference and was barely in the beautiful suite, but I felt so comfortable being able to come and go. The room is just as beautiful as the pictures show and the artwork is just fabulous. The private bathroom was extremely convenient and I loved the waterfall shower-head. Ann's cats were also so sweet and well-behaved. If I attend the same conference next year, I would absolutely love to spend my nights in this suite again! Absolutely recommend!

• Reviewer: Prentiss

  Comments: Loved staying here. Wonderful location! Very easy to communicate with Ann. Interesting home, definitely worth the value. Sweet cats.

  Comments: Great interaction. Ann went out of her way to welcome me into her home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a place to stay in the Village.

• Reviewer: Margaret

  Comments: Yes, I felt very welcome. Ann knew I wanted to check in a bit earlier than 1pm, and she called me once the room and bathroom were ready. I wanted to stay in the West Village, so I knew what the area was like. My stay included Friday and Saturday, so there was some noise, but I used earplugs, and it was no problem. The room was beautiful, and I loved having a private bathroom. I would definitely stay there again if our schedules worked out.

  Comments: Loved this place. Brilliant location. Beautiful house

• Reviewer: Amanda

  Comments: This was the perfect rental for me. When I am in NYC, I am not 'home' much, and just want privacy, a quiet place, and a great neighborhood. This fit all those bills! Ann is low-key, very responsive, and her home is funky and cool and in the best neighborhood on Manhattan.

• Reviewer: Taiyue

  Comments: The room is very beautiful, romantic, cozy and private. The inner design is fantastic and inspiring with vintage, modern and other diverse elements corresponding with each other in harmony. There is a big mirror outside the room between the bathroom and stairs and people look nice in it. Cats are so cute and sweet. Coming back after a tiring day, they may sit by the door to welcome you! Around the corner are a bar, many restaurants and boutiques, it feels good to walk around and explore the old street. The host is very nice and accommodating. My check-in delayed for about 2 hours because of the traffic and the heavy rain, but Ann waited for me until I finally came. Thank you for that! I really had a tight schedule for these 2 days, but I hope I can come back in the future and further explore the house and the surroundings. Thank you!

  Comments: Great location and good value.

• Reviewer: Nisha

  Comments: Ann has a gorgeous home in a prime location. The suite is cozy, artfully decorated and inviting. Will definitely stay here again!

• Reviewer: Wes

  Comments: Anne's offered room is a part of a beautiful home near a short walk to excellent food and entertainment. The surrounding neighborhood is nice but like most NYC neighborhoods there can noise all night of varying degrees. Anne provides a white noise machine and the means to regulate the temperature of the room, separate from the rest of the house. Anne can also give great recommendations to surrounding cuisine and will happily walk you through all maintenance and upkeep expected during your stay.

  Comments: My stay at Ann's place was fantastic! Very accommodating. Beautiful place!

• Reviewer: Erin

  Comments: This is the most beautiful home I've ever stayed in! I loved every detail. I wish I could have stayed more than one night. Ann is very kind and accommodating (and I suspect very cool given the various art pieces in her home). The views are gorgeous (so many windows), and the location is also the best that I've ever been lucky enough to be in for a stay in NYC. Right around the corner from famous places like Cafe Wha? and the Comedy Cellar, and in a five minute walk you can get pretty much anything on the planet. And in the bedroom there's a little station for water and hot tea, a bunch of cool lamps of different varieties, a space heater, a white noise machine, and a million books!

  Comments: Ann was a great host. Easy communication and very responsive. The place is at a great location, and it's clean and comfortable.

• Reviewer: Ann

  Comments: Everything is very accurately represented in words and pictures in the posting. The art and antiques are really beautiful and create a very special space. The location in the West Village is perfect. It was a very cold windy night when I stayed there and the room needed the space heater that Ann thoughtfully provides. The only downside was that the apartment is across from a tavern and there were folks out on the street being loud till late (it was a Saturday night). Ann provides a sound machine, which was much needed (and helped a lot). The room and bath were as advertised and very well appointed (ie, toiletries in the bath, towels, etc). Lovely space.

• Reviewer: Doe

  Comments: Ann is a great host and has a beautiful home. It is in a great location in the village and very close to nightlife, restaurants, and the subway. The neighborhood is very safe and well lit.

• Reviewer: Ashwin

  Comments: Great location. The room itself is spacious. A bit noisy being near bars but the white noise machine helps significantly. Reasonable value.

• Reviewer: Dave

  Comments: Cute bohemian room in a busy part of Grenich Village. Ann was a great host and provided a perfect arrival experience with excellent communication. I would definitely stay here again given the great location and low nightly pricing. It was a very easy bnb experience.

• Reviewer: Achali

  Comments: Ann's place is charming and comfortable and is located in the perfect spot for exploring the neighborhood and further afield. Situated near the subway, beautiful tree-lined avenues and a wide range of restaurants and cafes. The room was tastefully decorated and comfortable with access to the shower/toilet on the same floor. The bed was comfy. I would have welcomed some tea making facilities, however, after traveling on the city subway from JFK (which is actually quite doable and takes around an hour). The environment is gorgeous and I can thoroughly recommend a stay here. I will certainly return and could easily spend a week here exploring city life!

• Reviewer: Heidi

  Comments: I can't imagine a better place to stay to experience the West Village. Ann was a fabulous hostess --- friendly and welcoming, but also very considerate of her guests space and privacy. Her place is a dream....artfully decorated, cozy and peaceful and yet right in the heart of the village. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

• Reviewer: Joseph

  Comments: Ann provides a charming flat in an ideal location, clearly communicated house rules, and an accurate description of the space. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and I really appreciated the private bathroom. The sound recordings of nature are very helpful for sleeping at night. Ann's place was ideal for this solo traveler. Thanks Ann!

• Reviewer: Britta

  Comments: I loved staying in Ann's place, although it was a little noisy outside because of the bar downstairs!

• Reviewer: Ann

  Comments: Ideal location -- more delicious, varied, affordable food within walking distance than you'll have time to enjoy! Very comfortable place for one person. Some street noise on weekends, but white-noise machine helps on Saturday nights. All other times, apartment wonderful quiet getaway. Clean spacious room, pleasant helpful host. This is my new favorite place to stay in NY.

• Reviewer: Pablo

  Comments: Ann place is wonderful, the location and the room are perfect for the village in NYC. Close to restaurants Cinema, or music. I was able to rest at Ann 's place peacefully.

• Reviewer: Sophie

  Comments: It's a great location.

• Reviewer: Carl

  Comments: Ann is a great host, she has a beautiful home in a central location. She was always checking in to see if I needed anything and was flexible when I needed to extend my stay.

• Reviewer: Mike

  Comments: Ann's place is in an outstanding location: immediately next to food and drink, just down Houston St, a quick walk from the subway to get up town. It's a fun, funky, old room and basically just as advertised. I had one hot night with no AC, which isn't her fault, but I didn't think to ask in advance.

• Reviewer: Jordan

  Comments: Ann's home is such a delight to visit- it is always such a treat to stay over! Thank you so much, Ann, for a wonderful night's sleep within a stone's throw of so many fun things to do. Even walked to Broadway. Xx

• Reviewer: Aldo

  Comments: The place is everything is advertised, in a superb location! Everything is really close and safe. Ann is an excellent host and she always willing to help and accomodate you in the best way possible. Great place to stay if you're on Business and need a connected location.

• Reviewer: Joey

  Comments: Place was just as the description states.

• Reviewer: Adam

  Comments: Great location, great value, and great host. Very thoughtful, well set up room. My only issue was the proximity to the street. No air conditioning means window open at night, and people smoking and yelling outside was less than ideal. But hey it's New York and the price is great so well worth the trade off.

• Reviewer: Fiona

  Comments: Ann's room is spacious, clean and beautifully decorated - and was a perfect little retreat at the end of the day from the madness that is NY! It is also located in my favourite part of the city, with many great little cafes, restaurants and bars within very short walking distance. Ann is a very considerate host - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

• Reviewer: Benjamin

  Comments: Ann has a great place in an even better location. I had to check-in very last minute and Ann was just a phone call away. Her place was located in the heart of the West Village, and was close to everything I could have hoped for. She had a very clean place and was more than accommodating. I will definitely be staying here again when I need a place to stay in the city.

• Reviewer: Daniel

  Comments: Ann is a great host! The location is prime West Village and very unique.

• Reviewer: Tom

  Comments: Exotic home, fabulous location in Greenwich Village, gracious host - will return. A great New York experience.

• Reviewer: Ana

  Comments: La habitación es tal cual aparece en las fotos, tenés un baño privado y privacidad. No sentí en absoluto ruidos de la calle. La habitación estaba impecable igual que el baño. La ubicación es perfecta aunque cualquier lugar de Nyc lo es porque el subte funciona perfecto. Recomiendo el lugar para pasar unos días -si uno quiere estar más tiempo por supuesto iría a un departamento entero-.

• Reviewer: Kerri

  Comments: Ann's place is well-situated, clean and comfortable, and Ann is a thoughtful host.

• Reviewer: Caleb

  Comments: A lovely home in which to experience an authentic Manhattan experience. An attentive host, respectful of one's privacy. Excellent communication throughout. Charming and spacious room, private bathroom with an excellent shower. Lovely area, well-situated for metro stations, walking distance to many interesting places such as the Highline (close to downtown end) and the Hudson River west bank, which is a great walk, all the way to the World Trade Center complex. It was a lovely experience returning 'home' each day, all topped off by two of the friendliest cats in the world. Highly recommended, with thanks again to Ann for a pleasant visit.

• Reviewer: Julia

  Comments: Amazing location, room and host! Truly, it was a great experience all around, highly recommended!

• Reviewer: Kenton

  Comments: Ann has a wonderful place and is a magnificent host. The room is private and cozy with it's own bathroom, plenty of windows, and a nice chaise lounge chair for relaxing or reading. Ann also took the time to tend to and explain every detail from towels to wifi info to linens. The entire home abounds with charm and character....I only wish I was staying a bit longer.

• Reviewer: Reed

  Comments: Ann's place was great! It was perfectly located to everything I needed while in town for a conference. I grew up in a city, I live in a city, and I'm used to city noise, but this was even louder than I expected; luckily, Ann keeps a white noise machine in the room, which worked wonderfully.

• Reviewer: D

  Comments: Excellent location for exploring the West Village and surrounding neighborhoods, visiting NYU. Perfectly clean private bath -- and I am very particular! -- with nice strong rain shower. Friendly kitty household -- I enjoyed meeting and petting them, though folks who don't love cats might not love that. Bars/restaurants downstairs and across the street were noisy rather late, but it was a Friday night, so not surprising. I hadn't realized there wasn't air conditioning (I'm sure I just missed it), but I was comfortable with the window closed and just the ceiling fan after a warm September day. Ann is friendly, helpful, and otherwise hands-off, which suited me fine! Thank you!

• Reviewer: Clare

  Comments: Make sure to bring your own water bottle! Even though this is an Air bed and breakfast, the host won't be kind enough to provide you with water or even to fill up your water bottle. She does the very minimum and isn't too friendly. Also there is no air conditioning so the room is disgustingly hot. Location is prime though!

• Reviewer: Bessy

  Comments: Convenient location. Met basic needs. Works for professional looking for place to rest/sleep. If you're looking for more of a hotel experience this is not the place for you. Host respects privacy and responsive to communication.

• Reviewer: Nimat

  Comments: This place is at a great location. Good restaurants, jazz venue, coffee shop were near by. The house is exactly what Ann described and enjoyed my short stay at the place.

• Reviewer: Peter

  Comments: Great location - pretty much central to all the main attractions. Street noise was a non issue and I’m a pretty light sleeper. ( the white noise machine certainly helps). Room had everything a typical hotel would have. Her cats are the sweetest too! Would definitely stay here again.

• Reviewer: Margaret

  Comments: Ann's place is at an amazing location, with lot's of opportunities nearby. The room itself was great and Ann was very helpful and considerate. If I am in the area again, I will book again.

• Reviewer: Nancy

  Comments: As others have written, Ann provides a detailed description of her accommodations, and it is accurate. The location is very convenient to a number of subway lines and provides very easy access to lower Manhattan. I was there on a weeknight, and it was quiet. Many restaurants are nearby along with so much more. My stay was short, and I traveled with only a backpack. If I’d had a suitcase, I might have had trouble on the curved stairs to the second floor—but I am 70 and not as sure footed as I used to be.

• Reviewer: Zeta

  Comments: Ann’s place has great location and it’s very quiet. Very nice decorated furnitures in the room and we had great time there.

• Reviewer: Alicia

  Comments: Ann is very kind person and her apartment is a classic, authentic West Village townhouse experience. The accommodation is really like your own private floor and the decor is bohemian chic. The bed is comfortable, and the room is very private. Her cats are very sweet as well. It's a very cool place in an excellent location. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay at Ann's place again!

  Comments: A gem. A spacious upstairs room, comfy bed, full of fantastic decor and charm! RIght in the heart of the Village. The most authentically Village experience I've found on Airbnb. And Ann is marvelous; I felt right at home. Highly recommend.

• Reviewer: Ashley

  Comments: Very cool and unique space in the heart of the West Village. Remarkably convenient location. Adorable cats. Cool art.

• Reviewer: Peter

  Comments: NIce place in a great neighborhood. There are many good restaurants within a 5-8 minute walk. Bed was small but very comfortable. Renters should be aware that the bathroom is a European style, that is, there is no separate shower stall. The shower head is in the middle of the bathroom ceiling so the entire bathroom is in effect the shower stall. Not a problem once you're used to it, but just be aware that is the design.

• Reviewer: James

  Comments: This is a very special space, with loads of character and charm, in a wonderful West Village location. Plus, a helpful, considerate host and two friendly cats!

• Reviewer: Joanne

  Comments: Great location, unique lodging, very comfortable bed, bathroom was also unique, but the shower was really good with lots of water pressure. Ann was very helpful and available to give suggestions but respectful of privacy. Her cats were extremely lovely and didn't run away when I tried to give them love. The only thing that was less than perfect for me was the smell of cigarette smoke that was noticeable every evening. Not sure where it came from and I am sensitive to it so it may not be an issue for other lodgers but for militant non-smokers it could be an issue. Highly recommend for a unique NY experience in one of my favorite parts of NY.

• Reviewer: Jenne

  Comments: Designed by the owner and filled with a large collection of objects from her world travels, this charming 1830s era townhouse exudes ambience and warmth. If you're looking for an authentic New York living experience complete with Afghan rugs and purring cats, this is the place for you. The guest suite is roomy and has a very comfortable bed. This great find is nestled in the heart of West Greenwich Village, home to a myriad of cafe's, restaurants and charmingly winding streets. I can't wait for my next trip to New York City so I can stay there again !

• Reviewer: James

  Comments: Second time staying at Ann's place and it's still great—charming, cozy and convenient!

• Reviewer: Amanda

  Comments: I had an amazing stay and Ann was a fantastic host! I highly recommend it.

• Reviewer: Rebecca

  Comments: Ann's place is exactly as pictured in the Italian magazine article that accompanies her listing. The decor is charming and makes for a special experience. The weather was cold during my stay, but the space heater kept the room toasty. However, the bathroom (which maybe doesn't have a heat source? I'm not sure) was cold. Still, it was great to have a private bath, which seems a rarity for an Airbnb in that neighborhood, based on the listings I saw. There are many thoughtful amenities, including a white noise machine, iron, hairdryer, and electric teakettle in the room, and high quality shampoo, conditioner, and other products in the bathroom.

• Reviewer: Smita

  Comments: Ann was a terrific host. I had a great night sleep and really enjoyed her beautiful apartment.

• Reviewer: Yeon Ho

  Comments: The location is fantastic with two nearby subway stations. Also, very near NYU, just 10 minutes walk. Ann is a fantastic host and she is straight to the point and makes everything clear for the guest. You get to use the whole second floor to yourself and you get perfect privacy. The house is very cozy and really helped me feel like a New Yorker for a week. Greenwich village is a great place with lots of great restaurants and bars. Would stay here again when traveling alone in NYC.

  Comments: Ann was a wonderful host. Her home is like a museum; the room I stayed in was filled with books and original art and textiles from Afghanistan and the Middle East. Lots and lots of fascinating books! Great location. I'll think about staying there again in future trips to New York.

• Reviewer: Fida

  Comments: I was visiting NYU and this was the perfect location for my needs and the freedom to come and go as I pleased was just what I needed. The property is situated in a very convenient part of the city with lots of bars and restaurants. You can hear the noise from the tavern across the road (on busy nights) but it didn't bother me much as I was pretty shattered each night and fell asleep quickly. Ann is a lovely host and attentive to your needs but also values her privacy. The room was lovely and a great place to stay if you love books. Recommended!

The metro connections are great, you can get anywhere pretty quickly! Quite a few sites are within a 30 minute walk. Ann was very welcoming and hospitable and made sure my stay was comfortable, enjoyable and stress free! She responds to questions very quickly. I would love to stay there again!

• Reviewer: Marc

  Comments: This is a well located place (quite noisy though), you have a large room for yourself + your own bathroom. The bathroom is a bit odd because the shower is just in the middle of it, but this is fancy. The real problem is that I had explicitly asked Ann if I could leave my luggage until time for my late plane and she replied yes upon reservation; but it had become no by the time I arrived, without any advance notice. The reason is that Ann had a chance to rent her full appartment to a family, it would earn her a lot of money, and the arrangement we had seemed to not matter anymore. Wake-up on Sunday morning was 8:30 am because the maid had to clean the whole appartment and I was asked to leave my room by 10:00. Much of this would have been acceptable if stated and agreed in advance. But I don't think failing the contract when I am there and have no other option is at all fair.

• Reviewer: Robert A.

  Comments: I suppose the best review one can give is to say next time I am in NYC, I will stay here again if it is available. The host communicates effectively. The location is excellent if you are looking for that area of the City. The house is 150+ years old so that adds to its character almost as much as the owner has. I’d live there in heartbeat but if you want the Hilton then your tastes and mine differ, that is merely an observation not an editorial. The host states up front she does not interfere or necessarily interact with guests but if you need anything including transportation tips etc. she is completely accessible. It is very reasonably priced, in fact from my past experiences in the city I consider it a value.
