Great location, just one block from Time Square.
Food 24 hours around, safe area, very touristy.
Covid test only 2 blocks away, vaccine only 3 blocks away.
Around the corner is the St50 subway station, very central and fast to where you want to go, 25 minutes to the financial district, 35 minutes to the ferry to the statue of liberty, 55 minutes to the JFK airport.
Just an 8 minute walk to Central Park. Quite an experience.
Steps from fifth avenue and Broadway shows, Time Square, they are unmissable.
In the corner to the left you can have breakfast, buy to cook, or a few blocks away there is a supermarket.
Of course, not for smokers, smoke control throughout the building. You can get into serious trouble if you do. keep food including bread and so on in the fridge, the weather damages food very quickly.
When you leave or arrive there are always people on the street, it feels very good to walk around the neighborhood.
The shower is shared, but it is usual in this type of old buildings in New York, but it was always free and clean,
It is recommended at the entrance to always close the door to the street well, for the safety of everyone in the building, and never let in people who do not have the key.
In New York everything is very expensive, but the price is worth it, it is a city that you need to visit at least once in your life. Good trip.
It's a good place to start your adventure ...
