Want to escape Manhattan's tall buildings and bustling crowds but still have access to the best that
the city has to offer? Living in Greenwich Village and wandering its streets will make you feel like you have escaped New York City while providing its residents with everything they need! This cute alcove studio is located at 8th Street and Greene Street, on the 4th floor (considered 5th by Europeans) of a 6-story elevator building equipped with an Intercom security system and on-site laundry facilities.
You will appreciate the convenient layout of this 500 sq ft (46 m²) apartment, with a sleeping nook separate from the kitchen by a wall, and two windows in the living room overlooking the street. Fully furnished, it has everything you might need during your stay in New York. The living room has a sofa and armchair where you can enjoy your favorite programs on cable TV or a DVD; a dining table seating 2 to eat your home-cooked meal; and a double bed nestled in a corner of the studio. Stainless steel appliances and hardwood floors are additional perks of the apartment. The tiled bathroom has a bathtub/shower and the convenience of a window for air circulation.
Greenwich Village, also referred to as West Village and located on the west side of lower Manhattan offers a great respite from the hustle and bustle of Midtown. You might have heard of it in the TV series Friends as the Village was the main setting for the show! There is no shortage of things do to and see in the area, which include:
- Washington Square Park: take a walk through this park located only one block south, have a picnic there in front of the Washington Square Arch, and visit the famous chess area located on the southwest corner. You can even start a game with the locals!
- New York University: the main campus of NYU is centered around the Washington Square Park and the many students participate to this area's lively atmosphere.
- Union Square: this historic intersection in Manhattan is located 6 blocks north and has a year-round greenmarket, where you can sample goods from local farmers. It also has several benches where you can eat the food you bought at the market and several playgrounds.
- The blue note (0.5 miles / 800m) : have dinner at this famous Jazz and Blues bar and stay for the live performance!
- Restaurants: You will find a myriad of affordable restaurants and cafés serving food from virtually every culture! There are also some well-known upscale restaurants. Famous for its pasta tasting menu, Babbo is located 0.4 miles away (550 m). Make sure to reserve a month in advance as it is one of the hardest restaurants to get a reservation at in New York! Red Bamboo on West 4th street serves excellent vegetarian soul food and organic wines.
The two closest subway stations are 8 Street / Broadway : New York University and Astor Place / 4 Avenue. They are served by lines N, R and 6 running north to upper Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx through Midtown, and south to Brooklyn all the way to Coney Island!
