Is Greenwich Village a good place to base yourself for a holiday in New York?

My girlfriend and I are visiting New York for 10 days in July. We havent been before and I wondering whether Greenwich is a convenient place to stay in relation to all the attractions ie Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Time Square etc.

We are trying to avoid staying in big hotels and have found a guest house called Abingdon which looks really quaint and good value. We are also looking at the Upper West Side but have found a lot of hotels either out of our price range or not very nice looking. I would have liked to be closer to Central Park so could anyone tell me would it be feasible to walk from Greenwich to there?

Any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

For all you Victorians!! Accommodation help needed!?

I havent returned to Melbourne for over 14 years. I am looking to rent a reasonable accommodation in Melbourne as a holiday for a week to 10 days that will keep the whole family happy! Have 3 kids & hubby so would like something like resort type accom for days when we can stay home to save money but also keep kids happy, eg. pool, playground. We need to stay somewhere central between visting friends in the west of melbourne Bachuss Marsh and as far as towards Dandenong. Any great suggestions that will keep the children happy for less than $200 per night (for 5) and reduce our travelling time? Not keen on hotel type rooms or the centre of the city of Melbourne due to traffic. Also, has Fitzroy and St. Kilda increased its reputation of a “safe place” to visit or does it have the same bad reputation as it did over 14 years ago when I last visited? Thanks for your help.

New Yorkers: what is Harlem like? ?

I’m considering staying at this hotel because it is unique and in the jazz district:
http://www.harlemflophouse.com/
Will it be dangerous going out at night in Harlem or getting home from dinner, etc?
I also have these other options (they are standard budget hotels in southern part of Manhatten).
http://chelseastar.com
http://www.cosmohotel.com
Which one would you stay at? What is the best for sight seeing? Is Harlem a long way from all the touristy things in New York? Such as, Broadway, Times Square, Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Empire State Building, etc
Thanks for helping me!!! :)

Staying 4 nights in Paris…..any suggestions?

Travelling with my 2 sisters who will be spending the first 2 nights with me in Paris then they’re off to Dublin for 2 nights but I’m staying on to take in as much as I can. Travelling from London to Paris on the Eurostar and arrive at around 12 noon – have bought a Paris a la Carte 3 day pass (2 day passes for my sisters) – thought I’d spend the first 2 days looking around with them then the third day have a bit of a rest and just cruise up and down the Seine with a drawing book then spend the following 2 days (on my own) checking out as many art galleries as I can (have also purchased a Paris pass for these 2 days. Staying at Hotel Montpensier on rue de Richelieu so fairly central (I think!). Returning to London via Eurostar in the late afternoon. Any suggestions for any of the above?
