Jesse is a gem - great communicator, very friendly and helpful, and flexible with our logistics - overall very kind and thoughtful. When rain was forecast, he left an umbrella for us! If you are looking for a posh hotel experience, this is not for you - but what it lacks in glamour it makes up for in hospitality, affordability and convenience. Hotels in the area start at $380/night! I spent my time on the town, seeing shows and visiting museums and spent very little time in the flat, although it was a great place to relax at the end of each long day. It is small, tidy and cozy with a shared bathroom. Comfy bed with nice, warm blankets (it was COLD outside and we were snug). It's only a short walk to the subway and Times Square/Broadway and there are many dining options in the neighborhood. We always felt safe - three-key access to the flat and the area felt safe as well. Very quiet building and the room faces away from the street so less traffic noise. Loved the next door gourmet deli! Laundromat downstairs. We felt like locals :).
