Yang was very responsive and flexible. She let us check in early, and check in was a breeze. We did not use the kitchen and so can’t speak to that amenity, but the room was clean, and it was great having a private bathroom. The apartment smelled of tobacco or something similar, which wasn’t the most pleasant scent, but we were there for one only night and it wasn’t a deal-breaker. The area seemed safe, although it’s not the nicest part of the city. The train station (7) was a half-mile away, and it took us straight to Times Square. Very convenient. There are a number of small restaurants and food offerings within a block or two.
