Because I was in NYC in January specifically to see a number of shows (8!) and visit MOMA, the Guggenheim and the new World Trade Center memorial, staying at Shunichi's was perfect for me. The room was warm and comfortable. The small refrigerator and microwave were extremely helpful in keeping expenses down. (Shun offers access to his kitchen off the main living room but I never used it, except to wash a few dishes.) There is a TV, and the bed is large and cozy. The bathroom is nice, and the shower is very good. One irony is that, after an initial meeting with Shun during which he gave me a friendly orientation to the room and the apartment, I only caught brief glimpses of him for the next 9 days. He was off to work by 8:00 a.m. and came home usually late so I had almost no contact with him! For someone like me, seeking a warm abode while spending most days and many evenings out and about in Manhattan and Brooklyn, it was an extremely economical way to visit NYC and stay in a very central location.
