The subway station on 96 W is a stone's throw away, this station has express trains stopping as well. That's a big plus! We enjoyed walking to the subway both mornings and nights as we could grab some nice breakfast on the way or coffee from Starbucks. Spacious room for a NYC apartment. Phil had towels and bedding neatly kept for us and accommodated a late check in. Just the right amount of host interaction we like. And once you are in your room, it's peace and quiet that you almost forget you're in The NYC.
We loved our stay in NYC and if we return would stay at Phil's if he'll have us.
