If you like to live as a local when you travel, Hell's Kitchen is fabulous and Marjorie's place is perfect. A short walk to Times Square, theatres, subway station, laundries and countless eateries. Within a block we discovered an excellent Italian restaurant Patzeria, the Amish market with fresh food and healthy takeaways, hand rolled bagels at Hudsons, a great pub (Mom's Kitchen) and free stand up comedy at The Gaf West. Marjorie is a wonderful host, always contactable, really helpful and kind, nothing is too much trouble. The apartment has excellent air-conditioning, great shower and because it is part of Marjorie's apartment (but completely separate and private) it feels like home. Not for those who like posh hotels!
