The location is perfect: steps from Times Square, the Majestic Theatre, Junior's (where they serve the best cheesecake in the world) and major attractions/stores in Manhattan. I only used Metro once when I had to travel to Queens. Brian is a very friendly guy, he offered to meet me at the bus station where I arrived and briefed me a little after giving me the keys. His roommate, a dentist, is also very friendly. If you need a quiet decent place to rest after a long day exploring the city and you're not too picky about room's conditions (this is a typical boys' appartment) then I highly recommend this place.
