Our recent stay in Pierre and Walter's New York apartment was awesome. The apartment is on the 2nd floor of this very old brownstone building in New York's Hell's Kitchen area.
You wind your way up a very narrow set of stairs to find this treasure that offers a truly authentic New York experience. There are two double rooms, bathroom, and a communal area in the middle containing the kitchen, lounge and dining. It easily accommodated the three of us with my wife and i taking the back room and leaving our teenage son with the front street side room. There's enough room in the place that everyone can find their own space and not be crowded at all. The two bedrooms are also air-conditioned which was very welcome in the heat of July in New York.
The location of the place is excellent with so many good choices to eat just a short walk away, and a little further leads you directly to the craziness of Times Square. There are two subway stations (the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and 42nd St Times Square) all within easy walking distance as well as numerous local attractions close by such as the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum at the bottom of the street.
We really can't recommend this place any higher if you are looking for that true, live-like-a-local New York experience.
