James is a very kind NYorker who rents his studio only at times he is travelling. We were fortunate to spend 5 days there (we met him at his departure). This studio is perfectly located in Midtown Manhattan, within a fine neighbourhood, and close to public transportation and major attractions in the island. For instance, in his street, towards one side is UN headquarters and to the other Times Square. We surely recommend his place to anyone wanting a most convenient location in Manhattan. And as we stayed there two weeks after hurricane Sandy, the local infrastructure was not damaged in contrast to the tip of the island.
