| We stayed in this wonderful condo four nights last week and didn't want to leave! The condo was beautiful and everything was as described. The views were spectacular! Wonderful restaurants, bakeries, shopping, theaters, Radio City Music Hall and much more all within short walking distance. You could not ask for anything more for a visit to New York City. Bill was great to work with, the doorman, concierge and all the people we encountered at the condo were very helpful and courteous. Thanks for everything. We'll be back. |

| My wife, sons (ages 6 and 8) and myself had the pleasure of renting this condo for 4 nights in June. Amazingly the cost was cheaper than the Crowne Plaza hotel across the street, yet it had SO much more. Bill was easy to work with for reserving the nights we wanted. He sent me info on their favorite restaurants, things to do, etc and was very helpful. He even called after we arrived to confirm that everything was to our satisfaction. The view from both the living room and bedroom were amazing....we couldn't get enough. The TV and DVD player were great...we were able to pick up a movie one evening, have some pizza and relax. Kitchen was great. It was nice to have a Washer/Dryer...only issue was they would only take very small loads and were SLOW...had to dry multiple times for only a few small items. I would HIGHLY Recommend this rental. I already have recommend to multiple friends and want to visit again next year. (Oh, and my 6 year old says when he grows up he is going to live there!) |

| Such a wonderful and safe place to stay and enjoy NYC! My daughter, granddaughter and I wanted to be staying in Times Square after the theater and this was a grand choice. Would recommend the accommodations of this condo - everything nice and clean and well stocked. Concierge/doormen were a terrific help and made us feel at home whenever we came back during the day or evening. Elevators always worked, small things worked too! Always a bonus. Thanks for a great place that is well maintained and felt like home! |

| Just wanted to let everyone know that this condo was fabulous!! Working with Bill was a breeze. He truly wants to make your stay enjoyable! The condo was exactly as described. The location was very convenient to just about everything we wanted to see or do.This was my daughters, ages 15 and 11 first trip to NYC. They were very amazed with the view. All the lights, the signs, the M&M Store in the SAME building.They were in heaven! Walking to Magnolia's Bakery is a must!!! I highly recommend this condo for families, couples, friends. The staff were very helpful and polite. The next time we go to NYC, 1600 Broadway is THE place to stay!! We'll be back!! |

| We just returned from a one week stay in NYC at Bill's fabulous condo. It is just as lovely, comfortable and well-appointed as the photos. The location is unbelievably convenient, safe and for us, ideal. All of our nightly activities (4 Broadway shows and a night at the Iridium Jazz Club) were all within 1 - 2 blocks, so we could leave the condo 20 minutes before the show and be comfortably seated by show time with no stress! There is a fabulous grocery within 2 blocks, pointed out to us by the wonderful staff at the front desk, and some hidden gems of restaurants very close by. We rode the subway daily and it is very close as well. We have stayed in first class hotels by central park, condos in the village, but this was by far our favorite place to stay in NYC. Can't wait to come back, only hope it is available after all of the rave reviews. Many thanks to Bill and the wonderful staff at the desk for a great time in the big apple! |

Stayed here in October 2007 .Sorry for the delay in
posting my very big thank you to Bill for providing
our family with the perfect place from which to
enjoy NYC. Imagine the looks on my 2 teens faces
when they realise that we are right in the middle of
times square , M & M heaven just below, Hershey's
accross the road. The flashing neons, the friendly
staff in lobby- everything was wonderful. Just
perfect for a family of 4-having a kitchen was
great- you can't eat out every meal. Thanks again-
I have told many of my fellow Aussies about it. |

I just came back from a three day business trip to NYC and can't rave enough about my experience with this unit and this unit owner. The building location is incredible, and the views from the apartment are better than any hotel I have stayed in while in NY. The bed was super comfortable, the unit was perfectly clean and appointed like a first class hotel. I have to say that after running around NYC on business each day I always looked forward to coming back to the apartment and that wonderful shower. I hate to dwell on the shower, but it was roomy, great hot water flow and the rain shower head was the best I have ever used. I do not hesitate recommending this unit, but I fear it will not be available for my next visit. I will check this units availability before I book another hotel in the city!!!
Finally, I have never used VRBO before and feared how the experience would feel next to a hotel. The owner of this unit is amazing as he not only prepares a resource guide to using all the great amenities of the apartment and building, but compiles user friendly notes on sites to see, etc... This was a GREAT experience! |

The location is great, easy walking distance to theaters, subway and many places to eat. Bill is very easy to deal with and made the whole experience a very positive one. Thanks, Bill for everything. |

| We rented this condo for a week in September and I just wanted to share our experiences. Right from the start the owner, Bill, was good to deal with. He was very helpful with information and suggestions, and very accessable with immediate responses to e-mails, phone calls, etc. Financial transactions went through with no problems. The condo itself is very nicely furnished, very clean and quiet. The views are amazing, both from the condo and the roof top garden. The pictures on the web site do not do this unit justice. The building itself is very nice and all staff are very friendly and helpful. The location could not be better. It is within walking distance of all the main attractions. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone or to stay there again, should we go back to NY. What more can I say!?!? Thanks Bill!!! |

Just to say how much we enjoyed our trip to NY and that the condo is fantastic! The location on Times Square was a great base for sightseeing and absolutely stunning. The quality of the furnishings and equipment was excellent and we felt that the condo was a calm oasis in the frenzy of the city. Also, the staff at the entrance were very friendly and welcoming.
We would definitely recommend the condo to anyone wanting to stay in NYC and maybe we will be lucky enough to visit again ourselves!

Wow, what an amazing week. I took my teenage daughter, her friend, and my best friend to NYC over spring break and we had a blast. The pics are exactly what you get as well as wall to wall windows in livingroom and bedroom. Safe atmosphere and centrally located to everything. I would definately recommend this condo to everyone. Easy transaction and pleasant to work with. Thank you Bill:)

| INCREDIBLE! My husband and I just spent spring break with our 3 young kids (9,6,2) at this property and we were delighted! (Even family who lives in NYC were impressed with this property.) This condo is safe, immaculate, well-appointed, and centrally located---staying anywhere else would be disappointing after this place! Easy access to multiple subway lines and Gray Line bus tours as well as Broadway at your door. We would recommend this NYC property without any reservations. |

| We visited NYC 2/2008. The best compliment you can pay to the owner is adding your comments to this page. Wow, what a place! The condo was great! Nicely Furnished, great kitchen, great shower, great location, great view of Broadway, great fitness center. This property really made the trip for me. Walk anywhere or ride the subway. I loved their condo so much I am going to rent the unit for my parents to visit this next spring! |

| You can stop looking, you've found THE place to stay in NYC. The price is better than any hotel for the same size and close to everything! The views from the living room, bedroom, balcony, and top floor observatory were stunning - better than the pictures show. I could not have asked for more and thanks to our host, I was able to give my kids one of the most memorable vacations they will ever remember. Feel free to email if you would like a more detailed referral. Thank you so much - WE WILL BE BACK! |

Bill was a pleasure to work with and the unit was perfect for getting around town. It was close to everything! The doorman knew our name as soon as we walked in the door and didn't forget it the intire duration of our stay. I will never stay in a hotel again.....I hope this unit is available for my next trip to NYC. Thanks Bill for a great vacation.... Shannon K. Amelia Island Florida |

| What a great apartment! Truly mind boggling views of everything that is NYC! The pics don't do justice however to what a nice, clean, beautifully decorated apartment this is. The shower in the bathroom was sublime. The kitchen was open and spacious and the bed really comfy. Be sure to check out the viewing area on the roof as it is really cool. The gym was fully equipped and the virtual golf was so fun. The people at the front desk were delightful as was the owner, who made everything easy and smooth. Even the stagehand strike, couldn't put a damper on our trip. Thanks again and I'll be back! |

I echo exactly all that has been said here!
Don't know what more I could add other than do not eat too many M&M's from the corporate store that takes up the first 4 floors of the building with videos of mr M&M himself playing 24/7 off both corners...wow! They melt in your mouth and not in your hands ;-) Very quiet in side of apartment thou :-)
Also it is everything it is described to be.
Bill is easy to work with and very responsive via phone or email.
Sorry for my criptic email address here but worried about spam and identity theft on the web so do not use me personal one.
You can email me or call me at my listed number below if you have any questions or you would like to confirm.
Thanks again Bill!! Hope to be back soon :-) |

My wife Irene arranged this 5-day trip to New York, to celebrate my 60th birthday. We were accompanied by our two sons, Colin & Steven. We'd never been to NYC before, and to say that this apartment took our breath away is an understatement! It is tremendous in every way.
The location in the heart of Times Square just couldn't be better, and the building is extremely well run by friendly & helpful staff (thanks Milton & co).
The apartment itself is nothing less than superb, and is without doubt the best place we've ever stayed in.
It can be unreservedly recommended, and we look forward to hopefully making a return visit.
The financial transaction went without a hitch, and Bill was helpful & amenable all the way through.
With many thanks & very best regards.

The use of this property for our recent vacation to New York City was easily the very best part of a wonderful trip.
The rental transaction was easy to understand and we felt very safe and comfortable with the financial aspects. Upon arrival, the 24hr lobby staff made checking in almost like "coming home." The accomodations were precisely as advertised; 5 star level in every way. The place was spotless and all the decor, furnishings and fixtures were of the highest quality.
One of the best things was the location. We found ourselves 1-4 blocks from each of the several Broadway shows we attended. Wonderful restaurants and shopping were seemingly everywhere; the apartment was literally ON BROADWAY with a fantastic view of Times Square. Believe the photographs, they ARE the real views.
Nobody could have been easier nor more accomodating than the polite and kind owners of this luxury property. Each of our questions was answered and we were treated like family...but the apartment did NOT have the clutter and feeling we were invading somebody's personal space. This was VERY important to us; it felt like our own beautiful luxury apartment in Manhattan while we were there. In our considerable experience with hoteliery, we have never enjoyed any accomodation as much as this one. We'll definitely be back! |

We recently stayed at this condo and we loved it.
I went with my parents and son and we had one of the best vacations ever.
The unit is beautiful, well furnished and very well kept. It has great appliances and every thing you may need.
The location is fantastic and the views are too.
Also, you are in the middle of everything Time Square, near Rockefeller Center and near subway stations that will take anywhere, if you can’t catch a cab.
For kids is great, the condo is located above a M&M world, across a Hershey store, near a gigantic Toys R Us and a Nintendo World.
Also the money transaction went smoothly and the owners were very helpful.
I have recommended this place to everyone (almost) I know.
Thank you very much,

Hello Bill,
I have not had the opportunity to speak with you personally, but what
a great place to stay in NYC! We appreciate your kind words and
positive spirit. If I were to write a short few comments for your
condo it would be something like, "An oasis within the center of the
NYC Universe with unsurpassed views, facility staffing and most
importantly... The best of all amenities in NYC accommodations.
Laundry service, weight facility, state of the art conference room
capabilities, and yes our favorite... The ability to play Pebble
Beach Golf Course on the fourth floor... of course its played on the
biggest big screen television virtual reality golf course we have
seen. An awesome time at an outstanding property within Time Square.
Best regards and we hope to meet you someday.

We found the apartment to be immaculate, well situated and we felt very safe. The 24 hour doormen were helpful and friendly. The location is great for tourists, tour buses start across the road. Parking is available in the surrounding area at reasonable rates (for New York!). The theatre district is exciting and busy.
The view is spectacular from the roof and the apartment windows. I have already recommended this incredibly well equipped apartment to many friends and my daughter intends to return very soon.
We had no problems with payment by credit card and the security deposit was refunded swiftly.
Given more time in New York I'm sure we would have enjoyed the gym and the other communal parts of the building.
If you want to live like rich New Yorkers this is the place to be! I'll visit again. |
