Great experience staying with Yuko! The place is exactly as described, clean, comfortable and very well located. Walking distance from major attractions, subways stations and any basic needs like food, laundry, etc. Yuko is a very interesting person to meet and talk to, but she's also very respectful of personal space. The apartment is small, but I had my privacy and felt very comfortable. Bathroom is next to the room, which was great. Mini fridge in the room was handy. The bed is great! If you're a light sleeper, probably some earplugs will be helpful cause the building is old and you can hear everything from the pipes to the neighbors. I stayed in cold winter, so heating and hot water were lifesavers. Some kitchen use to make yourself some tea or simple breakfast was very useful too. The apartment is on the 5th floor, by stairs, which you should consider based on the luggage you're traveling with. The location is great and the grocery store next door is very convenient. I had a great time and was able to experience NYC at my own pace. Thanks Yuko!
