Just three blocks from Washington Square Park, this cosy pad is in an excellent spot to take in the sights and sounds of New York City. Whether you're checking out the produce at Union Square greenmarket (five minutes away), browsing the books in the Strand Bookstore (a seven-minute stroll) or grabbing a bite to eat and drink at one of the many bars and eateries in this neighbourhood, you'll be well-placed here to explore vibrant, buzzy Greenwich Village. The apartment is on a tree-lined street, overlooking beautiful gardens and traditional brownstones. It's a small space, but it's got plenty of character, including a decorative marble fireplace, ornate mirror and cushy furniture ideal for snuggling. On relaxed evenings at home, rustle up a delicious meal in the kitchen using your finds from the market before putting on a movie. We think it's perfectly suited for two people, but at a stretch, two more guests can sleep on the futon in the living room. Home truths: *This is a walk-up apartment – be prepared to climb roughly thirty-eight steps to reach the door *Guests three and four will sleep on a futon in the living room – however, it will be at the expanse of living space, so we think it’s better suited for two *There are a lot of original details here, including sloping floors, which might not be to everyone’s tastes *This home is up for long-term rental – the host may ask for permission to show the home to other guests during your stay *The host may ask you to fill in some extra documentation on arrival for their own insurance *Pets are allowed but there may be a fee – please ask your host for more information
