If you’re willing to walk (which is what we did and I have no complaints about), it’s not too bad of a trip to Times Square or anywhere else really. Just beware: you’ll pay $20 to check in early, and the walls are super thin. We heard every noise outside our door to the hall/stairs/elevator as well as all the noises in the street outside of the building. It was an okay stay for the price, since NYC is stupid expensive this time of year. Make sure you read the small print in the AirBNB listing, and don’t expect a 5-Star hotel.
