A perfect spot to crash if you're going be out and about for NYC exploring. It's small but that's to be expected for this amazing location of the city... blocks from Times Square! It's loud in the area on weekend nights (I think there's dance clubs in the area) so the music is audible but closing the windows helps (might not be a great option for light sleepers... but to be expected for this area). Don't be intimidated by the look outside the building and entering to get to the apartment. It's very, very clean with modern upgrades throughout. Very comfortable with a comfy bed. Entry into the apartment is a little confusing but follow Joe's instructions and his photos and it should be easy to find. The subway is an easy walk to get to anywhere in the city. I would definitely stay at this place again.
