  Sang and "John"(he doesn't looks like John at all ^_^) are very friendly and helpful! I had a very pleasant stay at their place, wish I had stay there longer. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

  We had the exact appartment on the pictures. Sang and John were perfect hosts. Friendly and flexible. When our luggage got lost, they called everyday and even offered to pick it up themselves from the airport. The building is very safe and the doormen very friendly. Times Square, the subway and bus stations just around the corner. Breathtaking view from the balcony. We would definately sty again anytime and recommend this place to anybody. Thanks again John and Sang!

  I cannot rate this host highly enough. The natural feeling of stress before the arrival date was soon dissipated with a friendly call from Sang. Actually, my staying at his apartment with my 13-year-old son was delayed for 3 days due to an unexpected change on his side. Sang arranged for a stay at the Paramount Hotel in NYC and his manager John was awaiting us when we left the hotel and arrived at his apartment on West 42nd Street in New York. The location is nice because it is not that... More »

  Great apartment! We arrived very late (4 AM) and the host was waiting to give us the key. The apartment was big (for a studio), very clean, everything worked, and with an excellent view. Location is also very good, it is 3 blocks from Time Sq, one of the biggest metro station, you can get everywhere from there. I would definitely rent it again in my visits to Manhattan.

  Great location!!

  Tanya

  We stayed at this apartment the first week of June 2011. Having initially had problems with our first booking and room preference due to problems with the original apartments management, Sang totally made up for it with his professional manner and prompt responses and looked for a suitable room for us. When we first arrived we were met at the apartment and taken up to the room. The apartment was very clean, a short walk to Time Square and the subway. The doorman of the building were... More »

  I have to say my friends and I had a great time. We were right in the middle of all the excitement of Manhattan!! Transportation was so easy. Staying out late in Times Square knowing you were staying just down the road was the best thing. If you want to enjoy manhattan, stay here!!!!!

  I actually didn't have the "G" apartment --- mine had no terrace. However, Sang has a few of them but they are basically the same. I would totally rent this apartment again. Sang and his manager, Jane, were very nice. I got in early and they let me put my bags in the room prior to check-in, which was very handy. The building is super nice, easy to find and right next to the Circle Line on 12th street. There's a turnaround in front and a parking garage that charges $35 per day in the... More »

  I cannot rate this "host" lowly enough. We never actually got a chance to stay in his one bedroom rental as a result of the most stressful and awful vacationing experience of my life. A long review follows this, so if you don't have time to read it, here are the cliff notes: • Host did NOT have permission to rent the unit he was offering • We were forced to cancel and book a room at a hotel on the same day of our arrival • Host did NOT offer a full refund as a result of his own...

  We had a great stay in N.Y.C . The flat is very clean and simple and close to lots of good places to eat on 9th st . We did a trade show at the Javits centre and it was an easy walk . Quiet neighbourhood . Very pleasant concierge . A pleasant experience indeed !

  Acabamos de volver y todo ha sido PERFECTO!!! El apartamento es muy acogedor, amplio, cómodo y limpio, igual que se muestra en las fotos, y con unas vistas increíbles al Empire State. Está muy bien ubicado, en diez minutos estás en Times Square, hay un autobús enfrente y el metro está a 5 minutos andando. El edificio es precioso y muy seguro, con portero y recepción. Lo recomiendo y sin duda repetiré en la próxima visita a NYC. Gracias por todo!!

  I had a great time at Don's. Great location, I never once felt unsecured, very safe environment. Will definately return.

• 

  Lucy

  The apartment was perfect and had everything we needed. The location was perfect and we had a nice view of the river. Also the communication before our stay was excellent. The only thing I would say is that the fridge is very noisy and the heating for the whole building is turned up very high. But those are only very small things and we would definitely stay there again.

• 

  Joelle

  The apartment was clean, easy to find and it was no trouble at all to get the key. We had a fantastic stay and I would recommend this place to anyone. It's really close to everything and if you like to walk a little, you can go almost anywhere in New York from this place!

• 

  Brandi

  Awesome apartment! Awesome host! Awesome location! My husband and I had a wonderful stay in New York, thanks to Sang! Our trip had started off with a little miscommunication regarding addresses and double booking, but Sang was kind enough to rearrange our apartment agreement to accommodate us. Sang and his partners have a few different apartments, so they were able place us right down the street from the one originally booked. The apartment was only 3 blocks from the center of times square!... More »

  We spent 5 nights in this place and it was AWESOME!!!! It´s really good located, nice and clean!!! You take one step out of the builing and you can see the Empire State Building! The little kitchen is equipped ith everything you need!!! We LOVED this place!!! I can only recommend it!!! And I´m sure that I´ll try to stay there during my next trip to NYC!!!!

  Ottima camera a 5 minuti dalla metro e 7 da Times square molto confonfortevole e ben arredata o meglio c'e tutto quello che serve un buon bagno una cucina con accessori letto confortevole tv wi-fi e porta ad armadio dove si può mettere di tutto e di più..per chi ha intenzione di andare a NY questa è l'ideale saluti da Paolo.

  Returned last week from a fantastic stay in New York. Apartment was just like in the photos, very comfortable. Fairly central, about a 10-15 minute walk from the nearest subway (Port Authority Bus Terminal) which connected easily to everywhere else in New York - it's really worth buying an unlimited pass. A slightly quieter part of central New York but very near the action of Times Square which was only slightly further on from the subway. Apartment block was very new, with efficient... More »

  We loved this apartment! My 3 friends and I shared the 1 bedroom for the weekend. The Space: A 7th floor one bedroom in a very nice building with doorman: One bedroom with a very soft bed and large closet, a clean bathroom with shower, a galley kitchen in the living room with a small dining table. The living room had a convertible couch that was firm and a large plasma TV. The kitchen was stocked with a small coffee maker and all the other necessities. The Location: Couldn't be better....

  Back home..I must say that this apartment was EXCELLENT! for us to stay during our vacations. Great location: 4/5 blocks away from subways and Times Square!, close to shops and groceries to cook our meals, amazing view of the Empire State from the room and awesome people at help desk downstairs!! Our stay couldn't be better! Had a wonderful time and we are glad we had chosen Don Woo's apartment! XD. We are definitely coming back some day... THANK YOU VERY MUCH for everything!!!

  I enjoyed the place. It was a good location (about 3-4 blocks from time sq). The bed was really comfortable and the place was clear. There were some communication problems with the host but everything worked out.

• 

  Miguel

  Me and my family had a wonderfull time in this trip. The flat was great and everything was just perfect. We received what we expected. Sang also put an extra mattress for my third child. I'm giving the link to a friend that is travelling to NY with his family in late june.

• 

  David

  The host canceled my reservation 7 days before arrival.

• 

  Tim

  The price was good, the location decent, the facilities up to scratch, the view over NYC was great. Not a heart stopper but more than adequate for a few days in the city.

• 

  Fatima

  Don's place is lovely! Clean and just like the pics. Not ideal if you plan on preparing meals, but otherwise comfortable with wonderful views and only three blocks away from Port Authority. There's also a convenient 24hour diner one block away.

  Felipe

  Hands down best hosts, best area of location!!! Will recommend to anybody :)!

  Don's place is really nice. The place is new, modernly decorated, and located in a fantastic location. The full size kitchen is fantastic. There's a public parking just across the street which is very convenient. Subway is just a block away. We arrived the place very late in the evening but the host is prompt with the key and the extra air bed for us. The place can fit 6 people easily. It was during the mid winter with outside temp in 20-30F that we spent the nights there. The bedrooms were... More »

  Nice apartment quite close to Times Square (10 mins walk) - have recommended to friends of ours coming out in Feb 2011. The lobby staff were lovely, good view of empire state and Hudson (?) river. Close to pier (1 minute walk) for boat trips to statue of liberty or elsewhere.

• 

  Laurent

  Appartement fonctionnel, sécurisé, tout y est (draps et serviettes), appartement propre. Un peu à l'écart, mais pas trop juste ce qu'il faut (15 minutes a pied du métro), du coup pas trop de bruits (appréciable à NYC !). Vue superbe sur l'empire stade Building. L'avantage aussi d'avoir un petit commerce en bas de l'immeuble pour se dépanner (y compris pour le café du matin). Nous avons passé une superbe semaine. Nous recommandons cet appartement.

• 

  Sue

  We stayed at the W House for 4 nights and really enjoyed our stay in New York! The lobby guards were very friendly and the location was a perfect walkable distance to the metro and Times Square. The reservation process was the least painful experience out of all of the hosts that I emailed. (I probably emailed about 15-20 different hosts on airbnb and Roomorama)Everyone that I interacted with (Don, Sang, Jane) were all very responsive via email and helpful. Check-out time was noon, but... More »

  We really enjoyed our l0 day stay at Don's apartment. It is located in a beautiful high rise building with a very kind and corteous doorman, in a very safe neighborhood, within walking distance of Times Square and many restaurants, and is near a good grocery store. The apartment itself is as shown in the pictures, the bed is new and very comfortable. The kitchen has a wonderful gas stove and fridge - however there was no table or chairs in the apartment, very sparse cooking utensils and... More »

  Don's place was great. It was in a perfect location and had an amazing view of the empire state building and downtown NYC. The place was comfortable and clean ( the bathroom could be a touch cleaner). The building is very modern and looks great. I would love to stay there again. Thanks Don!

• 

  Maren

  My family and I stayed for two nights in the apartment. It was just as promised. We had a wonderful view on the Empire State Building (email hidden) apartment was clean and very comfortable. We got the key at the concierge. Although the airmattress was missing first, the house manager came over quickly and brought it along.I can only recommend it.

  I was very pleased with the building staff and the apartment itself. Apartment was very clean and in a great location. I would definitely like to stay in this place on my next trip to NY.

  Great space and very convenient! The manager of the space was very easy to work with and accommodating to my needs. Would definitely recommend!

  Todd

  Great place and great location!! They treated us very nicely. The building is excellent with lots of amenities. Would stay there again in a second.

• 

  Cecilia

  The apartment was great! It was several blocks from Times Square, which was fine with me, since we could get away from the noise and lights. Even at night, my daughter and I felt safe walking back to the apartment from wherever we might have gotten off of the bus or subway. There's a great cafe right across the street, open 24 hrs., that delivers if you are feeling lazy! A couple of chairs on the balcony would have been nice, but not a big deal. Didn't have any bath towels; we had to buy some... More »

  Clean, nice and comfortable. A small convenience store right outside the building. A bit too far to walk from port authority area but great overall.

  Place is very peaceful, apartment was clean, had the taxi all the time. metro station is right in front, doorman was kind and helpful, .. everything was very easy, private and safe. I don't regret anything have stayed there.

  very clean apartment, and great view of the west river. Response of owners was also good. Great night hangout, down the street, in view of the window, on barges anchored in the river, with entertainment and buckets of cold Corona!Everything within walking distance.Would recommend this stay to anyone.

  George

  I've stayed at the apartment with my wife for a week and everything was as we expected. The apartment was a little bit dusty, especially the bathroom, but besides that it was very comfortable and the localization was is excellent. The people working for Don Woo and the staff of the building ware very helpful and nice, they really made the difference during our stay. We will definitively try to stay there again in a eventual future trip to NYC. I highly recommend the place for couples looking... More »

  Ines

  It is a nice place with a great view to the Empire State and the Hudson River. The bed very comfortable and all very clean. It was located in a big building with doorman all day that make you feel safe. There could have been a few more kitchen ware items (glasses, plates, can opener etc. ) I recommended this place, we enjoyed our days in NY.

• 

  Dean

  Totally saved me!! Thank you Don Woo! Nice place. Clean, Safe, Great View. Enjoyed my stay would say it's a great place to stay just kind of hard to find a good bagel close by lots of bad bagels but you have to walk 9 blocks before you find real NYC good stuff.

  Sean

  Don's place was great! Very clean, had a great view of the Empire State Building. We arrived early and Don and his group were very accommodating in letting us drop our things while the apt. was being cleaned. I would surely recommend Don's place!

  Grace

  I just got back from my stay at don's. I loved it! So clean, nice simple deco and very comfy bed. My room had an amazing view and having a balcony was wonderful. It looked same as on those pictures,i was really satisfied. Even though i didn't get to meet the host, she was nice enough to give me a call to see if i got the keys. I recommend this place to anyone, no regrets! Thank you for everything!

  Staying at Don's place was the first time I had used airbnb.com I had my doubts, but the apartment exceeded all my expectations. It was really easy to pick up the key, the room was clean and had all the necessities, and i felt safe and secure the entire time. I would highly recommend Don's places to anyone!

  Phil

  Stayed at W house #17 / Good points: Amazing view of Empire State Bldg, secure bldg, comfy queen size bed, nice wood floor, terrific location if you want to see some Off-Broadway plays (within walking distance of many theaters), within 2 blocks of a full-service grocery store (Food Emporium) / Bad points: Needed ear plugs to drown out 30+ city buses with back-up alarms being parked day and night in lot directly below window, only one easy chair, no kitchen table, mold around bathtub

  The room was very clean and had many useful appliances. The view was great! We could see the empire state bldg from our window! It was a pleasure doing business with him.

  Don was awesome - very friendly and attentive the entire time (before and after my arrival)! The room was really spacious too (we fit 3 people easily with an airbed). It was really comfy and the building is really nice and safe. I thought the towels were fine - not too thin - and the bathroom was fairly clean (although other reviewers thought different). The hotel is about a 10-15 min walk from the subway station - so really convenient for getting anywhere. The only negative things I could... More »

  We had a great time in NYC. The apartment was in a great location, not too close to all the action but a reasonable walk. The room was very comfortable and larger than a normal hotel room. Would recommend to anyone.

  Trevor

  Don's place is a great apartment, cozy and warm with a great view and far better than most NY hotels. Don was very welcoming and helpful, and we would stay there again next time we're in town. We had a fun time in NYC, and didn't mind staying a little off the beaten path. We echo some of the other comments regarding cleaning - the bathroom could have used some additional attention - and there could also have been a few more kitchen ware items (glasses, plates, can opener etc.) All in all it...

  Ana marie

  We stayed at Don's for one night it is definitely better than a hotel room! The location was great, the view was amazing...made us feel much better with the NYPD station nearby. The place was clean although a special attention needs in the bathroom. Don can be easily reached no matter what time it was. Thanks for taking our last minute reservation! I would recommend his place anytime.

  Sanzhar

  The apartment is awesome - nice location near Times Square, clean and enough space for two. A lot of restaurants at 9-11th avenues. Don is a nice guy, friendly and kind. Strongly recommend the apartment.

• 

  Barry

  Don's place was generally good. The location was great with a 15 minute walk to the Port Authority Terminal and a 20 minute walk to Time Square. The apartment was as described and was large enough with a very comfortable bed. The only complaint is the bathroom wasn't cleaned after the previous guests. We would stay again though.

• 

  Cora

  My boyfriend and I stayed at Dom's for 5 nights. It was perfect for our stay because: it was really spacious, spotlessly clean, close to everything and arriving and departing was seamless. The view of the Empire State building from the window was a bonus! Would recommend to any couple wanting to stay somewhere clean and hassle free in New York.

• 

  Ron

  Stayed at Don's place for three nights. The place was spotless, the bed comfortable and the view spectacular. It's a little off the beaten path but the crosstown 42M makes it easy to connect to anywhere in the city. Location is very convenient if you happen to be working at the Javits Center. I would stay at Don's again and would recommend him to anyone.

• 

  Deborah

  We stayed at #12 WHaus for two weeks and found it to be a safe and clean place to stay for the rate offered. The building itself feels a bit away from the centre of the city, however if you don't mind a quick bus ride on the M42 or a 15 - 20 minute walk to Times Square then it shouldn't be a problem. After you pass the Port Authority Bus Terminal, heading to 12th street there are a few restaurants, fast food places and a Food Emporium which was helpful. It was also easy to walk to 10th street...

  Jon

  Stayed at Don's for two nights. Apartment was perfect for what I was looking for - clean and comfortable and not too far out of the way for everything that NY has to offer. At this price I really can't say anything negative - would definitely stay at Don's again.

  Ben

  The apartment was really clean when we arrived and Don's helper was friendly and trustworthy. The pictures match the apartment and the bed is actually queen sized even though one reviewer said it wasn't. I liked how the apt came with a macbook and internet connection, really helpful during our stay. The bus outside the apartment comes often and is convenient if you don't want to walk the 4 long blocks to the subway. Windows blocked out nearly all the outside noise, but doesn't open wide...

  Don's place works well for West Side visits, down the street from Circle Line, gorgeous waterfront and easy access by cab to Meat Packing and High Line. Need to hoof it or take the cab or crosstown bus for all else. Don and staff,very accommodating and friendly. Place neat but could have been cleaner esp bathroom. Thanks Don for great visit to NYC!

• 

  Chris

  The apartment was neat and clean as shown and met all our needs. The location is great for tourists (central, close to times square) and those in town for theatre. It's easy to get a cab from out the front of the building to go further afield. We stayed for a week and having internet access was a real plus. The view of Empire state building was also a nice addition. We would definitely recommend to others with similar needs to our own. Very enjoyable and hassle free stay. Thanks Don.

  Thomas

  Don and his employee Jake are completely trustworthy and the apartment was as promised, the view even greater though! Thank you Don for being a great host and letting us know that we could always ask for assistence. We would absolutely stay there again!

  Bob

  Don's place looks as clean as the pictures and Don was very nice. I missed the part about it only being a double bed, so I was a little crowded, since I actually had to share with my girlfriend––in spite of that, nice bed, good pillows and I think he had a few more comforters stashed in a closet, which I should have used as we were always a little too warm and I could have used a lighter one. Very quiet building, but I found the noise outside to be a little annoying––but that's new york. I... More »

  PERFECT! We stayed in Don's place for a week, and his place was just lovely and accessible. Very clean and the most comfortable bed ever. Pictures are exactly the same as the place. Don is very accomodating and kind, and helpful. Thanks Don, will definitely come back and visit. Take care! :-)

  Don was very easy to work with. Picture and description were true and accurate representation of the apartment. Good location; close to Port Authority/subway
