The Center of Manhattan

This condo is literally in the center of Manhattan. The perfect location for first time visitors to NYC. You are walking distance to 90% of all tourist sites. If your feet get tired, less than one block away is a major subway station (which can be accessed from inside Rockefeller Center). From that subway line you have access to most of Manhattan and one connection away from the rest of NYC including the other boroughs. If the subway system seems a bit overwhelming, half a block east or west are major avenues that have an endless sea of taxis passing by any time day or night. The condo is in a very nice, upscale, and quiet building. The unit has a wonderful view of the Empire State Building, a huge bathroom, and very attractive and comfortable furnishings. The kitchen is compact and functional. There is a washer/dryer in the unit and a larger laundry facility on the 2nd floor for bigger loads if necessary. The unit was very clean and well maintained. From the second floor lounge you could see the the Today Show and their Friday concerts in the Rockefeller Plaza. The lounge is a very quiet and relxing place to read or watch TV and has a separate smoking room also with a TV. When you walk out the front door of the building, Rockefeller Plaza is right in front of you. There is a big Nintendo store a the foot of the plaza which is a fun place to kill some time with the kids. Every upscale store in the country has a store on Park Avenue which is just 2 blocks to the east. The owners were very nice and very willing to help make your stay comfortable. As you would expect in NYC, anything you could possibly need is within a 3 or 4 block radius. I would recommend this condo to anybody going to NYC and wanting to be near all the popular tourist sites. We have been to NYC several times and this is THE BEST place we have stayed in so far. We can't wait to go back, again. K.J.B.
