My sister and I had a very comfortable stay at Yasu & Akiko's. The place was very clean and felt like a homely hotel. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the beds (especially the mattresses), the huge steam shower, the generous supply of fresh towels, and the well-sized closet with plenty of hangers and a drawer cart for keeping our things neat and tidy. As it was chilly when we were in NYC, being able to adjust the temperature of our own room was also a huge plus. Another perk was that the apartment was on a street just lined with restaurants (we tried Dim Sum Palace and it did not disappoint), and around the corner was a cute cafe called Amy's Bread. Getting to and from the place was easy via the subway - Yasu & Akiko provided very detailed directions, not to mention very thorough instructions regarding check-in/out and house rules. They were also great in responding quickly to questions. It was a short but such a comfortable stay for us, we wouldn't hesitate to book this place again and highly recommend it.
