My trip just ended and I don't know where to begin. Manu's apartment has such a great location: the 50th ST subway station is just one block away, so you can just easily go to Brooklyn or downtown (WTC, Greenwich Village and more) whenever you want. It's crazy how close Times Square and Broadway are, probably less than ten minutes away on foot.
The Port Authority bus terminal is also pretty close, just a few blocks away (or one subway station away), so if you're planning to go out of NYC for the weekend that is a plus! (I took a bus to go to the Jersey Gardens outlet, in New Jersey).
The whole Hell's Kitchen area has tons of restaurants and the neighborhood is lovely and full of life! If you're a foodie like me, you can pick between Ethiopian food, Indian food, Greek cuisine, Italian, American or just a dollar pizza, all in one block.
There are also lots of bars around the area and if you want to go crosstown (to the east side) it won't take you more than 30 minutes on public transportation.
Manu was always available for any questions and answered any of my inquiries asap. He made sure my boyfriend and I had the best stay in NYC and we sure did! The apartment has lots of space and it's got EVERYTHING you need.
The bed and sheets are out of this world, so you can be sure you'll get a well-rested night after enjoying New York!!
I'm already looking forward to my next trip to the city so I can stay in Manu's apartment again!
