Creator's Key Takeaways

I think it's fair to say it didn't quite live up to expectations for us.

It's really important to note that there are no toilets and most people apparently wear diapers or nappies if you're from the UK.

We did a ton of research on how we could spend the night, and we'll cover in this vlog some of the main options we discovered.

We were staying at the Latte New York Palace, so just a 10 to 15 minute walk from Central Park.

Creator's Tips & Advice
