What I loved the most at Brandon's place are the views. The apartment is facing south but also east and west and the views that you get from those large windows on the 16th floor are simply incredible.
The place is VERY bright and decorated with modern furniture. The high ceilings make the entire apartment feel very spacious.
The kitchen has a large sink, dishwasher, microwave, fridge and freezer. We enjoyed taking our meals sitting on the stools at the bar. The washer/dryer is really nice to have on location also.
Both bedrooms are great, especially the master bedroom with the king size bed. It's the quietest of the rooms and it's a real treat to wake up looking at the Hudson and the New Jersey skyline.
The apartment is ideally located on the northern edge of Hell's Kitchen (with all its restaurants and bars) but also 4 blocks away from Columbus Circle and its amenities (Whole Foods) and especially Central Park. There are plenty of stores with everything you need within blocks - you're in Manhattan!
We had no trouble communicating with the host and he was responsive whenever we had questions or needs. All in all, Brandon's apartment is a real treat.
