Cannot hype the location enough - perfect location for restaurants, Times Square (literally a 5 minute walk), Broadway - everything is so close. There is also a burger place opposite (Bare Burger) that has a 50% vegan menu which was a godsend on the night we arrived! Lots of Chinese and Italian places on the row.
THIS IS A VERY HONEST AND PICKY REVIEW - WE WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS ACCOMMODATION BUT THEY WOULD BENEFIT FROM A COUPLE OF CHANGES.
Communication from Yasu and Akiko was brilliant - all the information we could need and very fast at responding.
The room was clean and good size with a closet area, but the shower leaked everyday (the cleaner was great though and brought lots of towels daily to mop up the water, although it wasn't fixed). The bed was very comfortable but small and only 1 pillow each. There were no photos of the room we stayed in - the photo on airbnb was a different room. There were only 3 strips of vertical blinds (should have been like 12, so they were the only ones left) and curtain could have been a bit more substantial. The cleaner had very little English but worked hard and was enthusiastic and tried her best to help us where possible.
The kitchen has a great fridge freezer and a hob, but no microwave or oven, which was a little frustrating. Even if they get a microwave, this would have been wonderful.
Cost wise, it's great for New York. We would stay here again if we come back to New York, but want to be 100% transparent. Thank you Yasu and Akiko for a great stay :)
