Melina's place is a two and a half block walk from the Times Square area. It is in a secure building (need a key to enter the building)--a "walk-up," within minutes of various dining establishments. The room we had was a good size. Although there is a lot to visit within walking distance, when we wanted to visit other areas like Greenwich Village, Union Square, Brooklyn... the subway iwas easily accessible. We wanted to try eating on the rooftop of her place because the view from up there was incredible, but we ran out of time. We would definitely recommend her place to travelers...
