Great location for visiting the Times Square area and easy to get anywhere in NYC from the location by public transportation. The street is very active with lots of restaurants and bars, music, etc. You almost don't have to go anywhere else if you want to just hang in the immediate area. Interesting set up where you can use the central kitchen if desired and you will meet some of the other people staying in the area. Love the security of getting in and out with codes and not having to worry about losing a key.
