This location was true to the advert. It was clean, it was cozy, and it was a great space for 2 friends to share. We didn't see the host often, but he was definitely accessible when we needed him including a warm welcome and a brief tour of the amenities.
This location was steps from a fantastic coffee shop, good dining options, night life, and Times Sq. It was a short walk to Central Park and many other attractions.
One feature of note is there are many stairs up to the flat. This did not bother us, but may be important to some.
I thoroughly enjoyed staying here - it outshined any traditional hotel experience in both value and authenticity for great a New York experience.
