Fiquei uma semana neste local. Yuko e Val são um casal amável: ela é atenciosa com os mínimos detalhes, sempre preocupada em fornecer ao hóspede comodidades (utensílios de limpeza pessoal e banho, band-aids, bags etc), enquanto ele é a pessoa certa para dar dicas de locais baratos das redondezas, além de ser um ótimo cozinheiro!<br/>O quarto disponibilizado é suficiente para que um adulto se acomode bem e é impecavelmente limpo (eu tenho rinite alérgica e não tive crise alguma). A cama e os travesseiros são ótimos.<br/>O banheiro recebe ventilação forçada de um ventilador externo pela maior parte do dia, para prevenir problemas como mal cheiro, umidade excessiva e mofo. O chuveiro é forte e quente.<br/>Na cozinha, é destaque a geladeira específica para o hóspede, com garrafas de água e outras bebidas.<br/>A localização é perfeita: fica numa rua calma, mas perto do metrô, da Times Square e do Central Park. Na esquina, há restaurantes e mercado 24h.<br/>Recomendo o local a todos! Voltarei quando puder!

YukoさんとValさんはとても親切で、対応も素早く、チェックインの際も丁寧に場所を教えていただきました。<br/>お部屋は必要なものは全て揃っており、間食も置いてありました。歩いて2分ぐらいのところに24時間のマーケットがあり、地下鉄やタイムズスクエアからも近くて、非常に便利でした。<br/>とてもコスパ良いお部屋だと思います。

Val y Yoko me explicaron perfectamente la ubicación y las normas de la casa . En todo momento he tenido total autonomía e independencia . Sin duda , cuando vuelva a pasar una semana en NYC , mi primera opción siempre será la de Val y Yuko. Un fuerte abrazo a los dos y gracias por recibirme en vuestro hogar , ha sido todo un placer conoceros . Hasta la próxima . Chao

Yuko and Val are very polite and helpful. They replied to messages quickly and gave clear instructions on how to find the flat. The room itself is cozy and quiet, and the location is truly great - just a few minutes from Times Square. I really enjoyed my stay there and I recommend the place to anyone who wants to stay in NYC and explore the city.

The woman was very kind and location was good but make sure you use the lock on the bedroom door because the man “accidentally” entered my room at 3:00 am.

Yuko's room is compact, neat and clean with air conditioning, a fan, TV and no street noise. Everything is supplied from towels to toothbrush along with extras as well... creams, hand sanitizer, washing powder to name just a few... Also plenty of bottled water which is kept in a separate fridge solely for your use. Although you are sharing their bathroom and kitchen, your privacy is respected at all times.<br/>Your own set of keys to come and go as you please. It's very central just 10 mins walk from Central Park, 10 mins from 42nd street, 5 mins from subway and buses. <br/>My stay was very comfortable and would highly recommend as a solo traveller. Felt safe at all times.<br/>Thanks Yuko

J’ai passé un excellent séjour chez Val et Yuko. Les instructions de Yuko (qui s’est montrée tres réactive) en amont étaient très claires. Val, avec qui j’ai été le plus souvent en contact sur place a été très accueillant et chaleureux. La chambre est très confortable et extrêmement calme ce qui est tres appréciable après avoir passé une journée à marcher dans New York. Elle dispose de tout le nécessaire pour un séjour agréable notamment ventilateur + climatisation en cas de fortes chaleurs ce qui, pour New York est très important. Le quartier est très animé et agréable et se trouve en plein Manhattan ce qui a été très appréciable pour se déplacer dans Manhattan et Brooklyn. Je retournerai avec grand plaisir chez Val & Yuko lors d’un prochain séjour à nyc!

I stayed 2 weeks in Val and Yoko's apartement and had a wonderful time. The location in Hells Kitchen is second to none if you want to stay in Manhattan - and still the room is very quiet at night. <br/>Val and Yoko was very friendly and helpful. I definitely give them and their place my best recommendations.

⭐⭐
La zona es perfecta y está muy bien situado, sin embargo, considero muy negativo el sobrecontrol y desconfianza constante de Val (Yuko es discreta y amable). <br/>He tenido que soportar, a mis 50 años, estando de vacaciones y con una conducta respetuosa total, recibir constantemente órdenes como: no bebas, no digas a nadie donde estás, no subas a nadie a la habitación, etc. (cuando en ningún momento me salté ninguna norma, hice nada de eso, no hice ruido ni molesté para nada). Esto me generó una ansiedad y sensación de inseguridad que me hizo abandonar la habitación un día antes, aunque de 7 que estuve, al menos 3 ya tenía ganas de irme. Sentí una falta de respeto y desconfianza que en nunca he tenido en ningún otro alojamiento de Airbnb.<br/>El alojamiento es como se describe, una habitación únicamente para descansar si estás fuera todo el día. El baño, pasillo y cocina (en el pasillo) también son muy reducidos, aunque el espacio está bien aprovechado.

There's so much to say about my 7-day stay with Val & Yuko, but to summarise it all, I really can't believe my luck in finding this place. As hosts they were excellent and attended to all of my needs, when I arrived I was shown around by Val and given everything I could have needed, toiletries, fresh bedding, towels, even snacks! I was given my own fridge space and my own cupboard of dishes, far more than I needed for such a short trip.<br/>Val & Yuko are superb hosts, extremely friendly but also left me completely independent, I hardly bumped into them as I was in and out the apartment in the mornings. They were very flexible and let me defer the last day of my stay to after a short trip to Florida, which is not a luxury many other hosts would allow. On top of that, Times Square is only a couple of blocks away and the Public Library/Empire State Building are a 15 minute walk. I cannot recommend this place highly enough for the solo traveller or couple who don't mind a single bed.

L’appartamento si trova a 5 minuti da Times Square, in una zona piena di ristorantini, deli e alimentari, vicino alla fermata della metro.<br/>La via dove è ubicato l’appartamento è comunque tranquilla e silenziosa. <br/>Gli ospiti sono gentili, disponibili e molto discreti. La camera è confortevole e tranquilla, con un comodino, una scrivania e tante aste per appendere gli abiti; il letto è comodo. Sono messi a disposizione dell’ospite un bollitore, le salviette e le lenzuiola, il phon per capelli, shampoo, sapone per la doccia.. La cucina è a disposizione ed è dotata di tutti gli elettrodomestici.<br/>Prezzo sotto la media.<br/>Soggiorno gradevole e consigliatissimo!

It was my 1st time in NYC and I stayed one week in Val & Yuko's room and had a great time. The room was exactly as shown and described. Many useful things were provided in the room! It was warm and clean. The communication with Val & Yuko was easy and they provided all the details before check-in, so the appartment was easy to find. Val & Yuko were very friendly and welcoming during my stay. They provided water, coffee and tea and Yuko even bought hot chocolate in addition. I regret that I did not have more time to talk to Val & Yuko because I spent most of the days sight-seeing. The location and the neighbourhood were perfect for me. I felt safe and Broadway theaters, Times Square, Rockefeller Center and also Circle Line Cruise and Intrepid Museum were easy to reach by foot. Subway and bus stops were also close. I recommend (as did Val & Yuko) the Amish Market on 9th Avenue for their cold and warm food buffet. I would definitively come back to stay at Val & Yuko's place anytime!

Val & Yuko are very receptive people, help me in all that I needed. If you are looking for a room with good cost benefit just to stay at night it is a perfect place! Close to good restaurants and subway.<br/>I recommend for one person and take care in the summer because the room is hot but in the fall and winter is perfect.<br/>Thank you so much!

I had a great stay with Val & Yuko. The place matches the description, price and location are unbeatable, and they provide you with everything you need, be it city recommendations or all kinds of goodies such as snacks.

No se por donde iniciar, Yuko y Val fueron increíbles desde mi llegada, me explicaron a detalle todo, aunque yo no hablo ingles ellos se esforzaron por explicarme todo lo necesario. <br/>Me recibieron con una botella de agua fría y en mi habitación tenia snacks. Si bien no es un hotel 5 estrellas, ellos se esmeran a que lo sea. <br/>La habitación es pequeña pero es perfecta y comoda para una persona, aunque no hay elevador y es algo pesado para los que viajamos con muchos kilos en las maletas, sabras que valio la pena ya que ubicación es perfecta, estas a 3 cuadras de Times Square, 1 cuadra del metro 50 y el barrio es muy lindo y lleno de bares y clubs por la noche. <br/>Les pido una disculpa por salir diario de fiesta y llegar por la mañana lol <br/>Pero estas en NYC la ciudad que nunca duerme. <br/>Espero pronto regresar a Nyc y volver a alojarme con ustedes. <br/>Muchas gracias por estas 2 semanas Yuko y Val.

it was a good deal, near 50th Subway Station, Times Square. The only inconvinience that V&Y let u know before booking is you have to climb 72 steps to get to the 5th f loor no elevator. the room is 7 feet square enough for 1 person, Tv. f ridge for u, no noise, a/c in the room that you can sleep well, the mattres look hard but you can sleep well. for me V,&Y gave refreshment. thanks V&Y

Val and Yuko are very thoughtful and friendly. They left shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for me in the bathroom, made me dinner on several occasions, left me notes, and Yuko even gave me a parting gift. Very respectful hosts. The apartment is small, but Val and Yuko kept to themselves and gave me plenty of room and privacy to cook and do whatever I needed. The room is also small, but perfect for anyone traveling alone and in need of a quick or long term place to stay that's quiet and has a great location. I was traveling to New York for work and needed somewhere to stay for several weeks. The room was well stocked and had everything I needed, with lots of new cosmetics, bathroom essentials, clean bedding, towels, and plenty of space and shelves to hang clothes and store items. It also had great AC. Despite traveling and living alone, I felt very safe at Val and Yuko's. Overall, I had a great stay here!

Staying at Val and Yuko's house was a very good decision. Great location, you are a few minutes walk to the main attractions, central park, theaters, time square....<br/>You have a refrigerator for yourself, they leave you yogurts, soups, cookies, hygiene items!!!<br/>If you are looking for a place to rest after walking all day around NY, stay at Yuko and Val's house, I highly recommend it

Val & Yuko’s house is a perfect place to stay in New York in term of every aspect such as security, access to public transportation, dinning, and major attractions. <br/>The room is compact but neat and clean. It was more than enough for a single traveler and there was no inconvenience. In addition, the host kindly prepared a lot of amenities the guests are expected to use. <br/>In addition, they are always happy to answer questions, provide information in details both prior to and during the stay, so I could feel very secured. I really appreciate their warmest hospitality to make the guest’s stay more comfortable. Highly recommended!!!

Val and Yuko are very nice. They are considerable and always willing to help. When we were there, they offered much advice on where to go and what to try. They provided us all the things we need. And the place, I was a bit worried before I must say, but after arrival, I found that the place is just perfect. It's small but clean and quiet(only sometimes the tube will have some noise but acceptable). The toilet is also clean. I hope next time we could stay there too!

Val and Yuko are so nice and thoughtful! The room was clean and it was surprisingly quiet given it’s at the heart of New York. All the Broadway theatres were about a ten minute walk. Val and Yuko provided me with snacks and towels and a toothbrush and they made my stay wonderful. Would love to stay with them again when I visit NYC again!

I have sleep problems, and I'm highly sensitive to noise. I visit NYC at least once a year to visit friends and family. This is the best sleep I've ever had at an AirBnB in NYC! Super quiet, a very comfortable bed, and good AC. I'll never stay anywhere else in NYC ever again. For a finicky sleeper like me, it makes walking up all those stairs totally worth it.<br/>In addition, Val and Yuko are lovely hosts who've creatively maximized that space and are very thoughtful. Yuko even gave me a small gift when I left!

Pros: good deal for your money if you need a few hours of sleep and need to leave. Thats about it. <br/>My wife had a reservation for 5 days. Ended up checking out after just one. She did not feel comfortable staying the rest of the trip and I reserved a hotel instead. Quite a few things that did not work out. The host had a long list of rules which were a bit unreasonable. Eg. no footwear allowed inside the house- meaning you cannot even carry your shoes in a bag to the room. You have to leave them outside the apartment anytime. Eg 2. Wipedown the bathtub once done showering - really? Eg 3. This one was the worst. The host did not take too kindly to my wife leaving the ac on while she went downstairs to grab a sandwich. And when she returned, said i will come to your room and check tomorrow myself to make sure you turn it off. And the bedroom doesn’t have a lock either. So yeah, like i mentioned before, go here if you just need a few hours of sleep and are out.

The space is very small and not for those that may want to spend a lot of time in their accommodations. That being said Val & Yuko add nice personal touches like fresh fruit, snacks, coffee, tea to make the stay feel cozy. A great place to test your head but not for entertaining😊
