My mum and i stayed in the leonardo room... it was comfortable, personable, welcoming and cosy, and we much enjoyed occasionally meeting one of the owners as we walked through one of their living rooms to get to ours... Sylvia, who manages, couldn't have been more helpful. it is in a wonderful location, surrounded by nice restaurants, and perfectly placed between midtown and downtown. it does operate as a B&B and not a hotel, but they make that quite clear from the start - so the only difficulty we had with that was on our last day, collecting our bags to go to the airport in the rain and one of the owners wouldn't let us in until sylvia arrived, as pre-arranged. So it was a bit unfortunate, but entirely within the terms of the arrangement. It is far more enjoyable than a hotel and so lovely to be in the heart of such a historic neighbourhood. This is a much overdue review!

We stayed at West Eleventh Townhouse in the Caravaggio Apt for 8 nts in Nov./Dec 2008 and our friends stayed in the Monet and Marcucci Apts at thesame time. This place is in a great spot in Greenwich Village and is very quiet which was surprising seeing it is so central to so many restaurants and bars. The apartments were well furnished and had everything we need. We will definitely be back!

If you like "the village" this is a great place to stay. The owners and staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly. It's an easy walk to a great collection of restaurants, shops etc, with public transit very close by.

We've just returned from a five night stay in the Marcucci Apartment at West Eleventh Townhouse and we absolutely loved it. The location was perfect for our needs. The neighbourhood is nice and quiet, compared to the madness of Times Square and Midtown, with lots of great places to eat and drink within easy walking distance. The subway stations are less the 5 minutes walk away, so it's very easy to get anywhere you like in Manhattan.

The apartment itself was extremely comfortable and the perfect place to come back to and relax after a hard day pounding the pavements. We've already recommended it to our friends as a great place to stay, and we will definitely return next time we're in New York. Compared to some of the hotels we looked at in this area of town, we thought the apartment was great value and a much nicer experience overall than another bland hotel room.
