Exactly as we hoped. Sarah was a delight to work with. After a day in the city it was wonderful to take refuge in her home. VERY clean and attractive. The outside garden was an extra treat. The information she left about the subway and restaurants was really helpful. Location is great. She referred us to hopstop.com. . . .truly a lifesaver in getting around.

My daughter & I just got home from a week in New York. Sarah's home was an oasis in the city with her lovely garden; a perfect place to rest out feet after miles of walking, shopping, exploring.Fantastic restaurants and stores are just steps way from this quiet, calm retreat.We felt safe and like we belonged to the community. Sarah left lots of helpful information, suggestions and guidebooks. Her home is filled with books, beautiful objects, wonderful photographs and chocolate! It was a pleasure communicating with Sarah and a treat to stay in her home - can't wait to go back. And yes, the shower is fantastic! Thanks again.

The apartment was fantastic. Great to stay in a real home filled with interesting books and travel artifacts rather than 'sterile' hotel room. Sarah was great to deal with - prompt replies and helpful information. The location was superb; we were able to walk to most places and the choice of local restaurants was daunting. I would not hesitate to stay in this apartment again. Many thanks Sarah!

5/5. Sarah was accommodating from start to finish. Not only did she convince her partner to let us stay there during our very specific time requests, she completely trusted us with the key pick-up and the place. I am sorry I didn't even get to meet her as she was on a trip but all our correspondence was flawless. She is not flaky, reliable and doesn't hesitate to answer every question.
The apartment is stylish, eclectic, comfortable and has everything you need: towels, chocolates, a giant MAC, guides, the perfect sofa for relaxing after a hard day of walking.
Sarah's location is also fabulous. I can walk to Louis Vuitton, John Varvatos, numerous SoHo boutiques, West Broadway and walk around the West Village to find a neat restaurant. It is the perfect place to stay if you're into dining, shopping and New York living. NRQW line will take you right up to the Upper East Side. Short walk to Union Square and Chinatown.
The morning light is beautiful, the garden (!) is wonderful, the area is very safe and subway stations are a few blocks away.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Also, SHE HAS THE BEST SHOWER IN THE WORLD. Hands down.
Worth every penny if you're looking for an authentic and comfortable NY experience... With a touch of style.

The apartment is just as Sarah said. It is very comfortable, safe, in a great part of NYC and has good Kharma. The subway is just a block away and the shopping and restaurants are fantastic. I would definitely stay there again!

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.
