The lovely Incentra Village House offers 11 attractive studios (10 with fireplaces) in a 19th-century Victorian residence on a lovely West Village street. The inn is brimming with bookish charm. The Victorian parlor, with its grand piano, satin-covered couches and cozy fireplace, transported us to another era.

All studios have air conditioning, television and coffeemakers. (Many are also equipped with a kitchenette.) En suite bathrooms are standard, and some have bathtubs. One apartment, the “Bishop's Suite,” is larger, on two levels, and has private access to a back garden.

We scaled a cramped, old staircase to a gorgeous room with a sleigh bed draped in burgundy sheets. Here, a bookshelf of fine literature overshadowed the small television. And the delicate tables, immense dressers and tall candleholders on the mantle were typical of décor throughout the property.

Free Wi-Fi reaches all rooms. Note that the Incentra Village House is an adult-only guest house and cannot accommodate children under the age of 10.

The property is non-smoking, but the Garden Room has access to the outdoors.

Transportation

Subways: The 14th Street Station for the 1/2/3/A/C/E/L trains is within a 5-minute walk from the hotel.

JFK: Take the Air Train to Howard Beach Station, then the A train toward Manhattan to 14th Street. The Incentra Village is a 5-minute walk south from the station.

LaGuardia: We recommend an airport bus service to Penn Station and then taking a downtown 1/2/3 train from 34th Street-Penn Station to 14th Street. The property is a 5-minute walk west of the station. Or simply take a taxi to the hotel.

Newark: Take the Air Train to the NJ Transit station, and then any NJ Transit train into New York Penn Station. Transfer to a downtown 1/2/3 subway train at 34th Street-Penn Station and get off at 14th Street. The property is a 5-minute walk west of the station.

Roughly speaking, the "Village" runs between Broadway and 7th Avenue, and from Houston Street to 14th Street. This is classic New York—brimming with history, culture, and lively characters. It's also home to New York University, which, despite lacking a conventional campus, permeates the area with its presence and purple flags. And there are plenty of cafes and cheap restaurants to accommodate its students.

Washington Square Park attracts impromptu picnickers, street performers, dog lovers, and contemplative chess players. Washington Square Hotel is located just steps away from the action, and you can score an affordable rate, especially if you book in the off-season or far in advance. On weekend nights, Greenwich Village becomes a cacophonic melee as out-of-towners, bent on partying it up in the "real New York," and students fill up the bars and comedy clubs around Bleecker Street and MacDougal.

The West Village, which begins after Seventh Avenue, is one of the most charming places in Manhattan. Buildings are rarely more than a few stories high, and the narrow, diagonal, and dead-end streets offer a pleasant change from the rest of the grid-happy Manhattan. Gourmet food shops, stylish boutiques, intimate restaurants, and beautiful brownstones round out the perks. The Jane Hotel is an excellent (and cheap!) choice if you want to get a feel for this iconic New York neighborhood. Incentra Village House is another charmer with studios located in a 19th-century Victorian house and affordable prices at certain times of the year.
