Great for one person or a couple, this thought-out pad is a block away from Washington Square Park and has a double bed and a fold out sleeper couch.

14th floor, southern-facing windows let in tonnes of natural light and offer great views of the city / World Trade Center at night.

There is fast wifi and a projector with Apple TV (no tv). Full bath, kitchen stocked with basics including coffee grinder, Chemex, Beast blender, and sparkling water maker (no microwave). Linen-layered black out curtains separate the sleeping alcove from the main living space. The large living room window has screened portions that open as well as a window A/C unit. We also have a couple standing fans that work great with window breezes (we prefer the fans as they're silent, but you have options!). Laundry machines are in the basement and a drying rack lives under the couch. Yoga mat and accessories also live in the living room. The main table adjusts to different sizes for work / dining needs.

The 8th Street R/W train is just around the corner, Astor Place is a 5 min walk to catch the 4/6, and the A/C/E and B/D/F/M are all a short walk away. The apartment is in an elevator-equipped, door person building (that is used to subletters). It's quiet for NY, thanks to the Art Deco building and height from the street, and things have quieted down further as NYU students disperse for the summer. We moved in last fall and hope someone can enjoy this wonderful location while we're away. The walkability and access to the city is really remarkable.
