Tang's place was in a great location! It was located in Chinatown so there were definitely awesome places to eat, shop for groceries, and get coffee/tea/milk tea (whatever floats your boat) within walking distance. Although we were a bit far from Timesquare and all those main attractions nearby, we were still close to Battery Park (to get to the Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty Cruise) and Brooklyn Bridge.
Here's a rundown of estimated time to get to certain places from the apartment:
-MET (35-40 minutes) Combo of walking to the Metro, the Metro ride and the walk to the MET
-Timesquare (30-35 minutes combo of walking and riding the metro)
-Empire State (30-35 minutes combo of walking and riding the metro)
-The Rock Observatory (30-35 minutes combo of walking and riding the metro)
-Battery Park (28 min walk) (10-15 min drive)
-Brooklyn Bridge (15 min walk to get to the beginning of the bridge)
-Chinese bakeries, Asian food, desserts etc..pretty much all around
-Don't like to eat out? There are grocery stores within a 2 min walk and you can definitely cook at the apartment.
This place was clean, bed was neat and spacious and firm. I love firm beds :)
Tang (Kwan) was also very responsive during our stay. He replied almost immediately and super accomodating.
I would definitely recommend this place and I would definitely stay again! Thanks Kwan!
