My friend and I stayed at Yuko’s place for 4 nights and it was a really good spot for us being close to Penn Station, Times Square, Bryant Park, MSG, The Highline, etc. And we had no problem walking back to the apartment late at night after doing all this sightseeing. Yuko responded quickly to our texts and was really kind letting us have packages delivered to her place. I wish we had more time to talk to her. The only thing that bothered me (but was quickly fixed with some ear plugs) was the noise outside the bedroom window at late nights. It sounded like it was raining but it wasn’t so I guess the noise was coming from some pipes out there. The stairs didn’t bothered us at all since we had so much junk food, so it was actually a good thing!
