Location: host was NOT honest about the location. It would take you at least 30 min just to get TO the nearest subway platform on foot. And then from there about an hour to Times Square. More if it’s late night/early morning.
The place itself: bring your own air fresheners if you decide to stay. Was greeted with a pretty offensive assault on my nose upon entering the establishment. They made a good attempt on making this feel like a hostel, with signs on doors etc. The kitchen seemed clean but again, you might have to crack open all the windows when you come in.
Communication: The host who greeted me was an older lady who didn’t speak English... I tried to be polite but this just didn’t work out.
