Brandon's studio apartment is perfect for one person or a couple whose business and/or recreational activities are centered in the Times Square/Midtown Manhattan environs. The flat is in fine working order and is lovingly appointed and extremely well maintained. Even as it features the kind of special touches one associates with a well-run boutique hotel, it feels like a real home. It is a fifth floor walk-up, which I found advantageous from an exercise fitness point of view, but which might make it more difficult for some. The block and neighborhood are lovely. The theater district and all of the Times Square razzamatazz are just a few minutes walk away, but 9th and 10th Avenue (and this block of 43rd) offer a quite diverse and appealing restaurant and bar culture of their own. The legendary jazz club Birdland is just a block and a half away. Yet for all of that the block feels comfortably residential and very neighborly. Brandon himself is a most congenial host. I very much look forward to visiting again.
