Hugh was a great host. The location is perfect and a bit central. it's 2 miles from central park and about a similar distance to times square. About 5 stops from the financial district area. If you have to go uptown a lot (Harlem area), it will take much longer to get there. It is in a safe area in town and not too loud or busy. We had some early mornings and late nights and never once felt like we were in "danger." There's a great pizza place around the corner and Curry Hill is close by too if you like Indian food. It was comfortable. We had full access to the kitchen, living area and the bedroom. There's a lot of space to just sit our and relax. The only thing was that the shower backed up quite a bit which kinda got gross with 3 people always showering back to back. But i'm sure this will be a quick fix. There was an iron! (which was awesome), more than enough towels, TV and an Alexa! (which was nice since none of us brought portable speakers). I'd stay again.
