Yasu & Akiko’s place is a perfect place to stay if you are looking for somewhere close to all the action. Times Square is a block and a half away. You are also in a main restaurant area so you have plenty of places to choose from to eat at. The room was the perfect temperature (space heater was on when we arrived). Everything was also very clean. It was nice having a private bathroom en-suite. Check in time was at 3pm, however, we did request an earlier check in time due to other obligations, and we were actually able to get in even earlier than that which was great. I normally stay in The Village, however, if I were to stay in this area again, I would definitely stay with Yasu and Akiko again.
