Perfect Accommodation

Our Stay in one of Yuki's studio appartments was fantastic! It lived up to all that it promises on the VRBO listing and is true to all the other positive feedback other guests have given. The room looked exactly like the pictures on the site and was so spacious compared to other places in NYC. Despite being so close to all the action, we didn't hear any noise at all and were very happy with the location. So many of our friends recommended hotels in midtown and against their better judgement I decided to book with Yuki and I am glad I did! From the time I booked and paid to the time we checked out, everything was easy - good communication, great location, safe environment and stylish! It was perfect and I recommend to all.

We really appreciated the location and the features of this place. It was quite comfortable, easy walking to anywhere in midtown. We also walked to Central Park, to World Trade Center from the apartment. We also got a baby bed for our baby of 1 year old, a late checking out...No extra charge! Alec and Yuki are very flexible and we appreciated it. Thank you so much!

I wanted to take my 10 year old to New York City so I looked into several places through the VRBO site...many were scams. After I spoke with both Yuki and Peter, I was happy to finally secure a place without fear of being ripped off! While our studio apartment was tight for 4 people, it was very nice and clean. I loved the feel of being right in the middle of everything. The bus station and subway station were both within an easy walk and I always felt safe in the neighborhood. The Javitz center was within walking distance as was Madison Square Gardens. We will definitely be going back and staying at Apartment 168!

Great self- contained apartment in Manhattan

A well positioned, clean and beautifully maintained apartment. The amenities of an onsite laundry room, 24 hour security/concierge and gym facilities were very much appreciated by us as travellers. We would certainly recommend this apartment to friends and relatives. Yuki responded promptly to our booking request. The personal welcome note was delightful.

Very nice studio, just few blocks from Javits Center. Very clean and comfortable. Just a little bit noisy because of traffic, but this NYC!

Great Place for my Father while he was in town for the Big East Tournament!

My father typically stays at the Marriott but, when I saw the proximity to Madison Square Garden and the cost he would save, I thought he should give it a shot. He did and absolutely loved it. He's already booked there for his trip here this summer.

Great location, clean and nicely decorated. I rented two studio apartments for my group. We needed to be close to the Javits Center for the National Stationery Show and we were. In addition, we seemed convenient to everything in Manhattan. I look forward to staying here again. Thank you, Yuki.

Apt is nice... but... noise is not worth it.

the actual apartment is nice, and clean... (although there was a strange smell when first entering, possibly a pet used to live there). But, the location is very poor. From 10pm until 4am all you hear is the Lincoln Tunnel traffic. Even with the windows closed, and blinds down, there is very loud noise, and very bright light. I would suggest that the owner gets VERY heavy drapes. That would help drown out the sound and the light. I have stayed at many hotels throughout Manhattan and all of them had better sound insulation. I can not recommend staying here unless there are changes made.

Owner response:All of our units are equipped with blinds and feature windows that are double paned to reduce the sounds of the city. This is one of the great cities of the world known for its hustle and bustle so not everyone is used to that.

Would rent again in a NY minute!

Husband and I rented this studio for a one week visit. It was perfect for our needs, just as described in the listing and Yuki and his team are professional and courteous. 24 hour concierge always greeted us and I think there might even have been coffee/pastries on weekday mornings. Location-wise it was close enough to walk to Times Square w/o all the racket. It was a couple of blocks to the 34th/Penn subway but just half a block from the 11/16 line bus which we discovered halfway through our stay. It was just big enough for the two of us and very clean and modern in appliances, fixtures and decor. Only two suggestions, a pair of scissors in the kitchen were the only 'utensil' that was missing and a clothes hook on the back of the bathroom door would have been handy for hanging my pjs. I've already told interested friends about this place should they ever make it to NYC.

Totally Impressed!!

We booked 2 suites with Yuki the day before we arrived in NYC after being scammed by someone else. Right away we were impressed as he helped us out and worked with us, even with such short notice. When we arrived we were amazed, the apartments looked "exactly" like the pictures, there were little welcome notes and chocolates on our beds. The place was very well kept and clean. The location was also perfect! Just a short walk to Time Square, Madison Square Gardens and the subway Anything we needed was taken care of right away. I have already recommended Apartment 168 to a couple friends, and if we ever needed a place to stay while in NYC again, this would be our first choice without a doubt!! Thanks Yuki!
