This apartment is very basic, you don't pay for the accommodation, you are paying for the location, but it is comfortable and was perfect for us as all we wanted was a place to sleep and shower.

The location is amazing if you want the opportunity to explore Lower Manhattan as well as Times Square/Central Park. We stayed for 12 nights and caught the Subway 4 times, we found it easy enough to walk everywhere, which was also necessary as we tasted our way around New York.

We caught a cab from LaGuardia as we had so many suitcases ($35), but Penn Station is only a couple of blocks away and you can save a lot of money with a shuttle bus, particularly to JFK (flat rate $58).

For half of the trip there were two of us, and a third girl joined us for the other part. When the sofa bed was out it was definitely crammed, but given the price we paid for the time we travelled we can't complain.

As we travelled over Christmas and New Years, Michael was away for part of the time. When he was around however, he kept contact to let him know of any maintenance that was going on or to see if we needed anything. Tommy the super was also amazing, he would check up on us to see how we were doing and made an effort to help us when need be whilst Michael was unavailable.

The room did get cold as the weather dropped, and unfortunately as Michael was away there wasn't a lot we could do except try to block the window vent and wear a couple of extra layers to bed.

The location absolutely sold the place for me, and I would definitely recommend it to people who are only looking for somewhere clean and in a good location.
