We enjoyed our stay at Yasu & Akiko's place. Its right in the central with so many restaurants nearby. Times Square is near too but we never had a problem with any noise. Sometimes we would hear footsteps as we were staying in the 2nd floor where the common area is but its not a big deal. The owners responded quick when we requested for our room to be cleaned. They provided clean towels too. The room is very clean. Bed comfortable to sleep in. I suggest you take the express shuttle from JFk airport, it can drop you right to your doorstep compared to nycporter. All in all we had a great stay and will book the same place again for our future trips to New york. Thanks Yasu & Akiko.
