This is an extremely convenient location. It's a busy area by day but was quiet at night and easy to sleep in. The listing is accurate in that it's a pretty simple place, but hey, amazing value. And actually even though the listing says essentials are not included, there was a towel for each of us and shampoo, soap, tp, etc. There is not much room to just hang out in, but that's not what you want to do in NYC anyway! The one downside is that the unit was incredibly warm. All of us, even the Californian, were too hot while sleeping.
