LOCATION LOCATION AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE!

If you want a place to stay in the heart of midtown and where your privacy is well-respected, then this is the place to be!

Shun is a prompt communicator. He greeted me at the door and carried my heavy bag to my room. I didn't see him in the week I was there - great to feel I had my own space and no curfew.

However, any advice I needed, Shun was always willing to help.

The room itself is spacious, has a microwave, a mini fridge, eating utensils, a tv and loads of pamphlets and general info on NYC. The mattress is a little hard and unless you don't mind snuggling in with another person with close contact, then it's ideal for one person only. Sure the street is loud (being on W55th and 8th) and the window's are not double-glazed so I'd recommend buying earplugs if noise is an issue.

The only discomfort at times was the hot water taking a long time to heat up for showers - again, it's expected for an older building with old plumbing. The bathroom is shared and relatively clean.

You're given your own key to come and go when please. Everything is right at your front door from restaurants to pharmacies. Times Square not far nor is Central Park (a must see) and the subway.

Just a head's up there's no washing machine. You'll find the laundromat on 9th ave, a block away.

I highly recommend Shun!! Many thanks :-)
