Comfortable room for 2. My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights, with 2 medium sized luggages. One was kept in the closet so we had enough room to open the main luggage for clothes and daily necessities.
Gordon was a wonderful host who kept in touch with us throughout our stay. He was very friendly and kind, and prompt with responding to our queries. He was late to meet us for check in, but came to look for us when we got lost, and even helped with one of our bags.
Location wise, while it was great for it’s convenience (5 mins walk from subway, 15 mins ride from Times Square), it wasn’t the ideal neighborhood for us. Felt a little unsafe walking back from the subway at night. The corridor and stairway of the building is smelly (stinks of urine), and neighbors can be very loud at times (talking loudly and occasional loud banging sounds at night). As previous guests have mentioned, you have to climb up a few flights of stairs to get to the apartment. If you have luggages like us, it may be tiring to lug it all the way up. However, if you don’t mind these, it’s really a great place to stay at! If you’re here to sightsee, you probably won’t spend much time in the apartment anyway! Just have to manage your expectations :)
Overall, we still had a pleasant stay with no big issues, and Gordon was a wonderful host.
