The City Lights Times Square Suite is a beautiful, one bedroom, 2 room apartment that sleeps 4 people in the very centre of Manhattan – just a block away from Times Square.

neighbourhood and location
Times Square Suite apartment is located on a quiet block right in the middle of downtown New York City, just a block from bustling Times Square –New York’s most famous landmark.
The apartment is located between 8th and 9th Avenues and right next to Restaurant Row – 46th Street.
The area is also great for relaxing with a cup of coffee outdoors - New York’s famous Bryant Park is just 3 blocks away. Bryant Park is one of the favourite areas of New Yorkers – it feels like oasis in the middle of skyscrapers. There is always something going on in Bryant Park: Jazz and Film festivals as well as New York Fashion shows are just a few of the events that take place there. It’s a beautiful square park and even has its own reading room.
Weather permitting, anyone can just come and take a book from one of the stands in the park and enjoy reading. There are tables and chairs there too, so you can also have a coffee or lunch. In summer many people just sit or lie on the grass in the park talking and spending time with friends.
You have practically everything on your block – you do not need to go more than a few minutes on foot to eat any cuisine, withdraw money, buy electronics, get cell phone pay-as-you-go SIM-cards, or even watch a show or a movie.
