Perfect for Us!!

My daughter, 7, and I travelled with retired friends and their grandchildren, 9 and 12. We had theatre tickets 2/3 nights and the older kids had never been to Manhattan. The apartment allowed us to be in a single location rather than 2 hotel rooms - $$ savings! The kids used the master bedroom, which has a TV and room for play. The bath and toilet rooms are separate, which was a definite plus. All beds were very comfortable. The kitchen/dining areas were spacious for NYC and allowed for several meals at home. Markets, bakery, deli, etc. are plentiful in the neighborhood. Short walk to theatres, restaurants, bus tours, NBC, American Girl, Intrepid...everything we planned to visit was an easy walk, taxi or subway trip. Even rural folks like us had no problems.
Noisy - a little - BUT this is Times Square!! We enjoyed a few pints at O'Flaherty's, and the popularity of the place made it easy for local friends to find us for visits. Exhaustion combined with background noise of air conditioners and/or TV made for sound sleeping for all. NY friends and relatives were very impressed with the size, location and cost of this apartment and have already asked for contact information for future guests. The landlord is very nice and very accomodating. I have no problem recommending this apartment to other travelers. My only suggestion - if you have several electronic devices to charge, bring a power strip. We were glad we did. If you're looking for minor flaws to gripe about, you'll find them. If you want to be pampered in perfection, stay at the Plaza or Waldorf. We were looking for a warm welcome, comfortable, affordable surroundings and proximity to places of interest. We'll be back!
