The location is as described. It is in Time Square. No problems with that. Be advised there is no elevator so if you plan on having an elderly person with you, this is not ideal as it is on the third floor. Also, I would not advise you to stay here if you are taking kids. When we would get back home there were lots of crack heads at the bottom of the steps openly doing drugs. We did not feel safe walking in. They were even there when we left for the airport at 6 a.m. Once we were in the building it was fine. The entire restroom needed to be scrubbed badly. The shower/restroom is so small. I know it’s New York and things are crowded but if you are a taller and a bigger person you probably won’t fit in the shower. We are all short and had a hard time maneuvering in the shower only to have the shower curtain stick to you and shower has a huge window in front of it. We had to get dressed in the living room after showering because it was so small. Ask for a picture of the restroom before you book. The stand alone fan had tons of dust on it. We didn’t want to use it for fear all that dust would just blow onto us. We had trouble finding our key and getting in the place. Our host was instantly available, which was awesome. The room itself is very spacious. Two of us slept on the bed and the other slept on the couch. It has a beautiful original brick wall and wood floors. The kitchen was spacious and clean but we didn’t use it, we were mostly out and about. Would I stay here again? Probably not. I’d get a hotel nearby even if it costs a bit more.
