15 MIN TO TIMES SQUARE STUDIO

Overall, we had a great stay in this basement apartment. Our host family was very nice and super accommodating. Everything was very clean and the apartment was super cute. It was very easy to catch the shuttle bus to NYC. It cost $3 per person each way, runs 24/7 and drops you and picks you up near the Port Authority Bus Terminal. The next time we stay in NYC, we hope to stay in one of Miyoko's properties.

perfect location, 15 min to NYC by bus. Very friendly host. The only negative thing is that upon the booking I didn't realize it is basement of the host's house transferred into studio. It was slightly noisy for us as we could hear everything from main part of the house ( shower opening, kids, people using stairs) In general, good stay!

Miyoko's place is very clean and well kept! We were very impressed when we walked into the apartment. It was our first experience using Airbnb and it was a great one. It was easy to get in and out of the city. Simply walk to the end of the street and wait for a short white bus to come. These buses only cost $3/person for a ride into mid town which drops you off on 41st street even though it says 42nd street. Keep that in mind when you are trying to leave the city to head back to the apartment. We waited for about an hour on 41st street for the bus to come and finally realized that we were in the wrong place. The bus will pick up 1 block over on 42nd street. Other than that, the transportation is reliable and smooth. Be weary of taxi drivers leaving mid town. They will be more than happy to charge you $40 + tolls for a ride back to the apartment. Fortunately I was aware enough that I could catch a bus that would get us there just as quick for $6 total for the two of us. The taxi drivers will take advantage of what you don't know! Estefania which was our host was great. Ask her anything and she's willing to help. She will also give you her cell number for you to call in case you need anything. We have absolutely no complaints about our stay and look forward to staying in one of Miyoko's other apartments in September.

Loved it...so easy to get the bus to Times Square...studio apartment was very efficient. The owners and their family were very helpful. Looking forward to returning next year!!!

The view of Manhattan is wonderful! Very well located and really closed to Manhattan. It was clean and very cosy. Estefania was helpful and nice to us. Really good deal. Only drawback : when you need to visit NYC from uptown to downton you have to buy tickets for NJ transit and the subway.But not a big deal. Thank you very much.

It was definitely the Hand of God taking me to this lovely and warm place especially for the spectacular snow falling on the ever historic third time happenning of October! That was really special for my sister and me! And our hosts VILMA and Freddy were really kind people on providing for us drinking water, coffee and sugar when needed as well for Miyoko on providing so promptly directions for every path for us to take since we got into the airport and during our stay there! They really are a great team to go for! Thank you VILMA and Freddy for the kind discount on the shuttle service! God bless you all the way from Honduras!

My partner and I stayed in this apartment last weekend. It is conveniently located one block from the bus stop and the buses come very frequently. At the end of the block in the Hudson River with a stunning view of the whole west side of Manhattan. There was free parking right outside the door. The apartment is small but fine for one or two people who are going to be out and about. The neighborhood feels very safe and the price was very reasonable. The family that holds the keys and has all the information about the area lives right upstairs and they are lovely people. However, They make a lot of noise. For example, on Saturday night we could hear them walking around until 1 a.m. Then at 7 a.m. they were up and there was so much noise it seemed as though someone was moving in or out with all their belongings. I had earplugs and could still hear them. Also, there was no refrigerator. We expected there to be one and we brought quite a bit of perishable food with us. We were told the fridge would be arriving on our first day, then that it would be there on the second day. By the evening of the second day I had to take all our food upstairs and ask the family to please put it in their fridge. Of course we then had no access to it. I would assume any future guests will have a fridge but I really don't know what can be done about the noise.

This is the best place to stay when you go to NY if you do not want to spend your money on a big hotels or spend your time on a long suffering metro adventures. The location is great: just 15-20 minutes away (depending on traffic) from the heart of Times-Square, and you have a bus every few moments right next to the place. And the view? nothing compare to this one! we took tons of pictures, in the mornings, evenings, when it's sunny or rainy - always different and always beautiful. Worth every penny. About the place: 3 very nice and clean bedrooms, each with flat TV. A dining room and a family room with additional big flat TV. A fully equipped kitchen, a garage to park your car safely and the highlight - a deck looking over a nice back yard, the ideal place for breakfast of rest after a long NY walking. This is heaven, I tell you! We were two couples there, enjoyed every moment and paid just a fraction of what we could have paid in a three stars hotel.... A word about the owner, Raoul and family: On the first day there we left our car in the garage. We found out in the evening that the lights were on and the battery was gone! The car was facing the inside, so no cable could help here ;-( The owner, Raoul, his wife and family came to help: they brought their car closer, and let us dismount their battery in order to bring it closer to our car's engine. Would you do this to people you don't know? And after all, they took our heavy luggage and brought it upstairs. We love them! Thanks to Miyoko and Raoul and family. This was a great place to be and we'll definitely come again when we go to NY. You should do it too. The Doron and Kainan families.

I never use the airbnb service before so I was a little hesitant, but I am glad I went for it. The information I got on the webpage was accurate. The apartment was spacious, clean and in good location. Having an equipped kitchen plus having a mini market near the place allow me to prepare food for my family, this was a big advantage. I would definitely consider staying at this place again in the future.

Appartement très propre et bien plus grand que peuvent laisser croire les photos (nous étions 6 adultes). Les explications recues pour aller de l'aeroport et l'appart etaient tres precises et tres utiles. C'est vraiment bien placé par rapport à Manhattan, à seulement 15 min en bus lorsqu'il n'y a pas d'embouteillage. Quatier tranquille même le soir (nous rentrions le soir entre 11h et 1h). Je vous recommande sans aucun souci cet appartement.

Quiet place, safe area.Better for 4 people or more.Easy to access from Manhattan.

Our overall experience in the apartment was great! The description by the host is 100% accurate. The place is very spacious, clean, quiet, and convenient for transportation to NYC. The neighborhood is very SAFE, which was one of our initial concerns when looking for a place to stay. During the week that we stayed in the apartment, we felt like we were in our own home, very cozy. The host was very easy to communicate with and was very clear with everything. There is a grocery story right around the corner! The VIEW of the city is beautiful, especially at night! Definitely buy the weekly (or 10) NJ Transit bus passes if you're planning on crossing to NYC on a daily basis. It will save you a few bucks. The bus stop is a few steps away from the apt, buses come VERY OFTEN (every 2-5 min), and the ride to the city is from 20-40 min long depending on the hr. We will DEF be staying here again!

Miyoko's place was good for the five of us. It's very close to NYC by bus, and Miyoko is very friendly.

This was the first time that we used airbnb.com and im gonna do i again!!! We was 6 people in this apartment and Its was really great, Miyoko had fixt everything before our visit in NY, and Raul was a great man ho take care of us first day. Clean and nice apartment, helpfully people everywhere in New Jersey and NY. I can really recommend this to everyone.

Pluses: Ideal location. Two steps to the bus stop. Two more steps to a fantastic view of the city. Easily reached from Port Authority. Spotlessly clean. Two baths! Fully equipped kitchen with lots of dishes, dishwasher, etc. Steps from a terrific bakery with coffee and way too many tasty treats! Certainly can't beat the price. Not perfect: We ran out of toilet paper. Would have been nice to have some coffee available to perk. No control of heat, so we slept with windows open.

We had a wonderful weekend in NYC thanks to this nice and convenient apartment in West NYC. Miyoko as well as Raul, the owner, made everything very easy and comfortable for us. The apartment was exactly like promised. We appreciated the parking spot - and the suggestions where to have lunch in the neighbourhood. Also it is amazing how quiet it was during the night! Going into NYC and back by bus was really easy and quick, too.

We spend 3 nights at Miyokos place. It is a clean and safe place and we enjoyed our trip to NYC very much. We (2 adults and 2 kids from switzerland) can recommend this apartment if you need it only for sleeping because the rooms are not very big but well situated to explore the city. Thank you...

I highly recommend Miyoko's apartment. Not only the apartment is comfortable but the host will make you feel right at home.
