If you want an adventure in midtown NYC, this is a great place. It's near Penn Station, LIRR, Amtrak, Path, and the subways. Also, not far from Grand Central. Plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within a block or two. Koichi is a very responsive and helpful host. I rated this place good only because it is so small. I'm 5'7", so it was comfortable for me. For someone bigger, it might be a tight fit. You also need to be willing to use a common shower and toilet. Some can't handle that but it is common around the world; bring wipes if you're concerned but it's clean and safe. I recommend adventures and this is a great starting point.
