The apartment was fantastic! It was exactly as it appears in the pictures, and even more spacious than I imagined for a 1 bedroom in downtown NYC. This was my first time in New York, so finding a place so centrally located at such a bargain price was phenomenal for me. In a 5 to 10 minute walk in any direction you can be in Central Park, wandering Broadway, seeing a show on 42nd Street, eating somewhere on Restaurant Row, or visiting Times Square. And it is just about a 7 minute walk to pick up the Gray Line Bus Tour on 8th Avenue.

Don't miss the opportunity to head up to the roof of the building. The view is spectacular in all directions! You can eat every meal at the Amish Market around the corner if you're looking to save money.

Don't bother with the TKTS office in Times Square for show tickets. Take the Gray Line Downtown Loop tour and get off at the South Sea Port stop. That TKTS will have tomorrow's matinees form 30 to 50% off. Saved me LOTS of time standing in a line. I got 6th row center for the show I saw.

Michael was extremely helpful and accommodating for my arrival. When I head back to NYC (and I will!), I'll be checking here first for availability. So much better than being in a hotel!
