For first-timers in NYC, this unit was perfect! the location was amazing and the view was great (corner unit). The room was quite spacious for what you'd expect. It was nice and warm, had a working TV, and the kitchen had everything we needed (barring dish soap and a sponge). The unit was within a short walk of Times Square and multiple subway stations. If you need somewhere to store your bags before check-in, you can check in your bags early for $5-7 (cash only). That being said, it was not the most clean. The blankets seemed unwashed and the shower did not drain. There was also only one trash can in the bathroom (none in the kitchen). Overall, we had a great time and would stay there again!
