Real review* our first visit to NYC ( mid 20’s asian Americans)
My wife and I stayed 24th-27th, checked in Friday night, checked out Monday morning.
Highkey, we should’ve flew out that Thursday night and payed the extra night because it’s cheap enough that we’d rather have woken up and had that extra few hours to experience New York.

The place*
The place itself is a studio so don’t expect a lot of space, roughly 400sq f.
It comes with what you need though, a kitchen and bathroom. The 2 beds are a plus that could fit like 4 people comfortably. We just pushed them together for 1 big bed. The place came with a heater so that was nice! Like all most Apts I’d imagine in nyc, the building looks rundown. It was clean though.
There is a tv but not many channels, I’d recommend brining a laptop and charger if you like to have background noise on like me while pre gaming or after a night out in the town. Bring your own toothpaste/brush shampoo/conditioner, bar soap.
They supply shampoo and soap but they’re wack.
The water takes awhile to warm up in the shower so prepare for that.

There’s a liquor store downstairs and an hmart/ cvs down a block.
Super convenient!!
Time square is within a 10min walk and is beautiful on any non rainy night. If you have the chance, check out 230 fifth rooftop bar. Will not disappoint!
Walking distance to clubs MARU and MISSION.
If you want free no cover entry to mission text MISSIONVIP to 555888. (Top secret tip) they’re a bit irritable but nice to Asians. Just saying but you have to text the number like a week in advance to get free cover, it’s a one time thing so after that you’re set!. Don’t go right away at 12 unless you have a table or they have you wait for like 30min.
Go to Maru first then head over to mission at after at like 12:45. It’s live. Drinks are expensive roughly 15-20 per drink. So I’d pregame hard then go out haha

Best advice I can give is to really make New York your own experience. Sure try the touristy things but don’t be afraid to yelp around and really take it in for yourself. Buy a 33$ metro unlimited card for a week and take the subway, it’s intimidating at first but you’ll figure it out.
P.s don’t forget to eat LOS TACOS at lease once a day LOL fire af.
