The location of Raquel’s place was definitely the best bang for your buck in midtown Manhattan. We were able to walk almost everywhere and Penn Station is only a few blocks away for longer trips. The room is a bit small but does just fine for one couple. The shared bathroom also generally stayed pretty clean and the check in process was very smooth. The only minor setback was that outside air comes in through a board propped against the window, making it a bit cold when the temperature drops. But a small heater helped warm up the room for the most part. It’s definitely not a luxury apartment, but a great place to stay if you’re looking for a cheap spot in the heart of the city.
