Although situated within a half block of Times Square and upstairs from a pub, the studio apartment was quiet and provided a good centralized location for visiting NYC. Don't be dissuaded by the initial building entrance and stairway as the studio apartment itself was cozy, secure, and comfortable. In addition, Annie left us some nice touches including helpful notes, fresh towels, chilled water, and a cleverly named WiFi network! Lastly, Annie was very responsive to our text messages regarding the key pickup and drop-off locations. Overall this was a great and economical accommodation in Manhattan....and will definitely try to request for future trips!
