Memory of West Village:

The apartment was filled with laughter, shared meals, and quiet moments of reflection. In the morning we woke up to a classic rock playlist because Mum loves it, and I would bother my sister with it.

Enjoying Winter Views and Creating Memories

During the cold winter season, we had an unforgettable experience enjoying the snowy landscapes from our top-floor apartment in West Village. The breathtaking snow views provided the perfect backdrop for making epic memories with friends and family. Our time was made even more special by friends from San Antonio who visited, adding to the joy and warmth of our gathering.

Leaving Our Mark

As our stay came to an end, mixed feelings of sadness and happiness emerged. The West Village had become more than just a place to stay; it was where we left our mark, filled with laughter and footsteps that seemed to linger in the hallways. These moments in West Village are precious and will always mean a lot to me.

Saying Farewell and Looking Forward

Saying goodbye to our temporary home in West Village was challenging, but we left knowing we had created lasting memories. More than just an empty space, we left a part of ourselves behind—a testament to the good times we shared. As we embarked on our next adventure, the memories of our days in West Village comforted me, holding a special place in my heart.

Our adventure in West Village is a reminder of the joy that new places and experiences can bring into our lives. From enjoying stunning winter views to making memories with friends, West Village will always be remembered fondly as a place where we left our mark and cherished our time together.

How do I find them?

Facebook Group.

In spite of being an adventure in itself, subletting in New York City proved to be a rewarding experience for my family and me. The first step was to find a temporary residence in the heart of NYC in order to fully immerse ourselves in its vibrant atmosphere.

In my search for housing in New York, I came across a Facebook community group dedicated to it. It seemed like the perfect place to begin my search. My search led me to find a sublease in the coveted West Village neighborhood. In spite of the lure of cheaper options in Brooklyn, my family and I were determined to stay in Manhattan for convenience and the quintessential NYC experience.

How much does it cost to sublease?

$125 per night.

As soon as I saw the apartment on Charles Street between Bleecker and Hudson, I was captivated. Despite its bright, spacious, and top-floor views, the description was reasonably priced for the location and amenities. The price was $1750 for 14 nights, which worked out to $125 per night. Although it seemed a bit steep compared to other options, I couldn't ignore the allure of the West Village.

As I discovered about the apartment's regular rent, it was a staggering $4300. This translated into $139 per night. Our short-term sublease arrangement seemed to be quite a bargain considering I will only pay $125 per night.

Why West Village?

The West Village stands out not just for its prime location but for its undeniable, captivating charm. Strolling through its quaint streets feels like a journey back in time, with iconic brownstones and lush, tree-lined avenues that embody a timeless elegance. Immersed in this neighborhood daily, we found ourselves enveloped by a picturesque scene of history and architectural grace, stirring feelings of nostalgia and romance.

Furthermore, the culinary scene in the West Village was a delightful highlight of our city adventure. The neighborhood offered an extensive variety of dining choices, from cozy cafes and trendy eateries to classic bistros and hidden culinary treasures. Regardless of our cravings, the West Village consistently managed to satisfy our palates and enchant our senses.
