Asil was a great host. The place is very neat and close to everything. The neighborhood is very special close to everything and accesible from everywhere even 4 blocks from times square but if your not familiarized with ny or It’s your first time could be a little scary at night until you get used to and realize that is safe and nothing happens even is there is Sole guy sleeping at the stairs. A mean is not the fancy zone in ny but it is very affordable clean and very Well located to move around. Is Just like every big city. The place has everything you May need but excepto May be day light but hey, you are supposed to be out as much as you can. You can get by walking to Rockefeller center, Times Square, Empire State, grand central and all the midtown attractions. For the rest of the city you are 5 blocks away from penn station so you can get anywhere by subway or even train which by the way is the faster and better way to get from jfk airport to manhattan. All that been said you get a great deal: an affordable and clean place near everything. Plus the host has a great ear plugs collection if you are sensitive to any noises. The building is actually quiet. You may only need it if you turn on the ac.
