Location is great close to public transportation and there are many restaurants that cater to any taste, the building is right next to the Hell's kitchen flea market if you fancy shopping around, although it can be a little noisy, area is safe despite the concentration of homeless people hanging around the area, but again this is NYC! Now that I know the area I would prefer to stay near 50th st away from the port authority or a couple of blocks away near 10th/11th ave. Host was friendly and quick to respond
