The place is exactly as described. A good location, near the subway station directly connected to Times Square and in a neighborhood that seems safe.
Restaurants, pharmacy, and convenience stores just around the corner.
The room is located in a basement. It does have normal-sized windows, however.
Access is restricted for someone with mobility reductions as there are a few steps in a quite steep staircase to get there.
The restroom, kitchen and living room is shared with one more guest. I had no issues at all with that, and we could use the facilities whenever we wanted.
However this depends on the other guest and how neat they are.
We checked in and out in quite non-conventional hours and the process was perfect. The host made it clear how we should access the building and how we should return the keys. When we had some doubts, the host replied almost at the same hour.
It is expensive for what is offered, but it is not the host's fault. It is NYC. Housing is expensive there.
