I'm hesitant to share W.11th because we want it to ourselves !! Yes, our son lives down the street in a one bedroom, so instead of imposing on him, we've stayed at W.11 8 or 9 times. We stayed at a dozen hotels in NYC but much prefer this quaint gem in the West Village, that is, if we can get a reservation ! It's booked out for weeks in advance. We've stayed in almost every room and have never had a problem. The rooms are huge and very quiet. Yes, there are rules but it will make you feel much safer and you won't lose the keys. I can see why they don't want you to lose your keys, (my son did at his apt.) and it's a big expense. Silvia is a delight when she meets you at the door. I wish we could have a permanent room at the W.11th Townhouse and Silvia, maybe ask Therese and Hercules if we could have one ?? Or squeeze us in at Christmas time ?

West Eleventh townhouse was great...a true New York/Greenwich Village experience instead of just another hotel room. Main room is nice and large, with a separate sitting room. Kitchen and bath are very small, but certainly good enough for a short stay. Marcucci apt. is on the top floor...very quiet but be prepared for the stairs! All in all, a wonderful NYC experience.

We had a fantastic time. West 11th Street Townhouse was magnificent. Silvia was a wonderful host who went out of her way to help us along. New York truly is the greatest city in the world. Go before you get too old!

This townhouse apartment did not live up to expectations. We waited for at least 15 minutes sitting on doorstep in heat and humidity, in spite of phoning as instructed, before the door was opened and caretaker appeared. We were then issued with draconian rules - consequences of losing keys and ludicrous embargo on guests, which was ridiculous as purpose of visit was to see daughter who was working in Manhatten and had own apartment in Chelsea so it wasn't as if we were sneaking her in to stay - dark, walls lined with plates, friendless and old fashioned, inadequate kitchen area and horrible, cramped bathroom, three floors up narrow staircase. Departure involved keys being grabbed and door being opened for our exit. Fairly noisy with building work starting early morning. Will choose more carefully next time.

Management response from WestEleventh, Silvia, Roving Concierge at West Eleventh Townhouse
(Management representative)
Aug 13, 2008
To help evaluate my response to the guest's story of her arrival at West Eleventh Townhouse I would like to offer a brief introduction... my name is Silvia and I have been the Roving Concierge of West Eleventh
Townhouse for little over a year and a half. I have, over that time, received most of our guests none of whom were kept waiting at our door step. In the recent past I received guests at 4 A.M. I mention this only as an indication of my willingness to extend my services beyond the requirements of my job. On July 24, 2008 the guest telephoned me from the airport, we spoke and I asked her to ring bell #1 at West Eleventh Townhouse on arrival.
I immediately prepared to receive her and as usual checked the accommodation to be sure everything was in order. It should be noted that Ewa, my manager, was in house also. I checked the entrance door before
getting involved with another guest who was in house and had asked for some help with an appliance. I was involved for about 10 minutes; the guest did not ring our bell. I returned to check the door again and to my surprise and delight I greeted Valerie who was most gracious and seemingly quite pleased when she walked into the Marcucci Apt. (3 flights up). I am still quite taken aback by her TripAdvisor comments.

West Eleventh Townhouse is ideally located in the West Village. Magnolia Bakery with fantastic cupcakes just a few meters from the front door, and besides great shopping just around the corner on Bleecker Street. Good restaurants in the neighbourhood as well.
The Monet apartment is spacious, and nicely decorated. And very practical with a small kitchen (the dishes were done each day by the chambermaid).
We love the location in the Village, and will definitely come back to West Eleventh Townhouse next time.
