Akiko’s apartment is wonderful, and Akiko is absolutely a perfect host. I stayed five nights here and enjoyed myself very much. The apartment is not in Manhattan, but it’s very easy to get there by subway. It only takes 20-30mins to go to the midtown. In that case, it has a very good price. The subway Line N is a 24hrs Line. So there is nothing need to be worried if you stay out late. And you could enjoy your NYC subway tour during your stay, by the way, that’s my favorite part. It makes me feel like I’m a New Yorker. The neighborhood is very safe and convenient. There are many restaurants,cafes,bars and 24hrs supermarket in one or two blocks distance. But the room is quiet in night. I have very good sleep here. Anyway, I definitely would like to stay here again if I come back!
