The cancellation was a small hiccup and should be disregarded -

Our stay at Brian's place was fantastic and the place was just as described! Brian and his roommate Dave were very accommodating and took care of us if we ever needed anything.

Location, location, location! The location really could not have been any better. We got really lucky since our show was at the Best Buy theater (now playstation theater) which was only two blocks away, while times square was something like three or four blocks away -
We spent most of our time walking around the midtown area so never really needed the subway but it was definitely accessible within a couple minutes at most from the apartment.
