The apt is clean. Check in is easy as a friend of the host lives 2 doors down. Times Square is a 5 min walk and the eateries in and around the apt are abundant and eclectic. The apt itself is small and feels crowded with 2 people. But the bed was comfy and the bathroom was clean. I would recommend for a 3-4 day trip to NYC. Good location, comfortable apartment, friendly host. Good combo.
