Kerri is a great host, responsive and helpful.
Location:
About 10 min walk to Times Square/ theater district. Several subway stations, including Penn Station, within 10 min walk.
Felt safe walking to and from unit, although you will come across groups of sketchy people, smell and maybe be offered weed, see an occasional passed out druggie. Pretty standard for areas that are on outskirts of tourist areas. We were ok with our teenage daughters walking to Times Square without us, but would not allow that at night.
There are so-so food options in the surrounding couple of blocks, and a couple good ones, but we opted to subway to selected restaurants for dinners. Nice coffee shop right across the street.
The unit itself is an older apartment but well kept and clean.
Bathroom was well stocked with soap, shampoo, extra TP, hair dryer. Shower has decent water pressure.
Nice little kitchen with everything you may need if you want to prepare some meals. Ironing board and iron as well. Nice TV and air conditioning.
The main bed is a plus or minus depending on preference: mattress and pillows are SUPER soft.
There are dressers to unpack your clothes if staying a while.
I appreciated that there is a nightlight for navigating the space when waking up at night. Also it was nice that there is a small portable fan for the second bedroom. Also nice that there are a couple keys for the door to the building.
Something to consider is noise. Most places in NYC will have some traffic noise but this particular intersection is the loudest I have ever experienced. The horn honking was incredibly aggressive and persistent, and goes late into the night. Your tolerance may vary. Keri was kind to put packaged ear plugs by the bed.
All in all, we had a good trip and thankful for a good host like Kerri who made the whole process easy.
