My three nights at the 55th Street room were perfect. Shun met me as soon as I arrived on his doorstep. He showed me in and left me alone. He seemed to understand from the moment I got there what I wanted and needed. The room is clean and comfortable. The down comforter and flat screen were more than I ever expected. The tea and cocoa were perfect for the times I came in for a rest from my long walks on the sidewalks of my favorite city. The apartment is just three blocks from Columbus Circle, and just a few blocks to the Theatre District. There are good places to eat very near by. The bakery around the corner on Eighth Ave was very good and Luigi’s Pizza across the avenue was a favorite of my teenage son’s last time we were there as a family. I was able to live like a New Yorker for those three days and it was exactly what I needed. I will definitely stay with Shun and Akiko again when I come to NYC. I recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants to experience living in NYC, not just visiting. I know this neighborhood well, having lived there in the 80’s, and I could not have asked for more. It was like being home, only a lot better, because I was unfettered and able to do exactly what I wanted. I can’t wait to go back again. Thank you, Shun!
