Fantastic value for short term accommodations, Takeshi was very welcoming and the check in process was convenient. After check-out, I was allowed to leave my bags until 4pm which I needed since I had a late flight. The apartment has a bunch of different locations to chill or do work via many chairs + desks. The bed and sheets felt clean and the bed was satisfying. I had no personal trouble with blocking out light from the sun or with the sounds of the city. The apartment is smaller than I’m used to but that is NYC for you. The apartment is filled with a wonderfully wooden aesthetic that makes you feel welcomed. The Delancy St or 2 Av subway was releatively close, only a 10 minute or so walk. The area is not in a touristy section of Manhattan and there was an amalgamation of bums close to the entrance of the apartment, but once inside it is a pure hidden gem!
