My wife and I stayed for 3 weeks in June and found this to be a very convenient hub to explore all of New York.

The booking process was very straight forward and Elizabeth also assisted with some suggestions for special restaurant bookings before we arrived.

The apartment is large with good storage space and is just as the photos indicated. It is luxurious and the comfortable with a great bed and mirrored ensuite bathroom. The living area would easily allow another couple to sleep on the pull out couch and I guess that is why there is not a dining table although I feel there is ample room for a compact round table and that would have been nice for our dine in meals. The windows do not have a view but you can get a glimpse of the sky above the courtyard to check the weather before you venture out.There are several very good convenience stores very close by that have everything you may desire by way of fresh and prepared foods and drinks.

The apartment is in the Marriott hotel and certainly was safe and easy to access both from 58th & 59th street entrances. We used the subway, taxis and walking with no problems at all and once we understood the subway layout we were able to travel easily to Brooklyn, downtown, and upper east side and all points in between.

We really enjoyed the many restaurants operated by the Union Square Hospitality Group (ushg.com) -They are all quite different and reasonably priced considering the excellent food and service. Check out the BBQ bar at North End Grill.

This special apartment is probably not the cheapest in town but you are assured of being close to Central Park, within easy walking distance of Times Square and well looked after by Fuji and Elizabeth - I appreciated the lovely birthday cake that arrived on my birthday.
