5 of 5. The apartment is fantastic and the location is great. We have lived in NYC, SanFran and Boston so have a good basis for comparison of city apartments. Sarah's garden level floor-through brownstone apartment is in a very nice historic townhouse on a quaint street. Its clean and well decorated with books and photography, and feels much more like a home than a typical new york apartment. My wife and young daughter joined me, and the apartment felt very safe and tucked away from the noise and congestion found in other nearby neighborhoods. Sarah was a pleasure to work with in every way... she was very considerate and responsive. You can't go wrong. She could easily charge more and it would still be a bargain.

Sarah is a sunny personality, and her place is nestled on the quintessentially quaint Greenwich Village street. The apartment is cozy and a true living space, not an anonymous hotel room. Besides the warmth of the decor, nice sunlit windows, and small little area out back to sit and read the paper with a morning coffee, the main attraction of this apartment is its proximity to incredibly fun and chic shopping, restaurants and neighborhoods. Cross the street at the end of the block, and there's a marathon ultra-stylish fashion crawl just east of you, on Prince and Spring streets...ultra-creative window shopping, coffee bars, bistros, bakeries and sidewalk stands selling hand-made goods. I rented Sarah's place for my elderly parents, and when any guest visited them and strolled the area, their eyes popped out at this unique shopping neighborhood in SoHo. The immediate surroundings are a female shopper's daydream. Venture a little further, and Little Italy and Chinatown are within a walk. Stroll northwards instead of east from her place, and the heart of Greenwich Village is right there. Want to travel further? The Spring St. subway station is almost outside her door. Some things to keep in mind: non-New Yorkers may consider some areas of the apartment tight, even though it is actually generously-sized for its neighborhood. While Sarah's couch does fold out into a bed for additional sleeping, any group over two in this place will will be elbow-fencing with each other outside of the main living room. The kitchen is tiny, if clean and stylish, and there's no place to sit for a family meal. Those imagining cooking sit-down dinners, take note. Rent this place, and role-play the life of the quintessential Greenwich Village young urban sophisticate. Young women with interest in high-style shopping should truly consider this apartment as an ideal headquarters for rapturous clothes-buying campaigns.
