Location location location -- this space was in the PERFECT location for everything we wanted to do in NYC. Just uptown from Madison Square Garden, just SW of the theater district and Times Square, minutes from bus and subway. So many attractions within walking distance or a single subway ride away. A laundry across the street. TONS of cafes and restaurants within a few blocks. My husband and I felt very safe walking at all hours of the day and night, even when me (female) walking alone.
The bed is very comfortable with high-quality linens and pillows. Super plush bath towels and plenty of them! Excellent wifi and lots of outlets. Arina's space was a pleasure to return to each evening.
She personally greeted us on arrival and showed us around the unit. She was so friendly and helpful. Check-out was a breeze - just slide the key under the locked door. The building is very quiet -- we never heard any noise from the neighboring units. Sure the outside is noisy day and night but this is Manhattan - what can you expect? We travel with a white noise machine and Arina also provides packets of ear plugs which we didn't need. We slept like babies after full days of touristing.
We would very happily return to Arina's space when we are lucky enough to next visit NYC.
