New York Room For Rent - 2 Bedroom apartment for a roommate in Murray Hill, Midtown East (NY-15997)

With neighbors like Bryant Park and Grand Central Terminal, Murray Hill is a great part of Manhattan to settle down in. This one bedroom apartment is situated on East 37th Street and Park Avenue, convenient to Midtown with a proximity to the calming presence of the East River. The apartment is in a townhouse-type building, situated on the 3rd floor (which would be known as the 2nd floor by Europeans) and overlooking the street. This walk-up building offers a few conveniences to its residents like an intercom entry system, and laundry facilities in the basement!

Inside the apartment you will find a practical layout, with the kitchen and bathroom towards the interior and the living room and bedroom near the windows to the front. The living room has a sitting area that faces a flat screen TV and a dining area with a table and the stainless steel refrigerator -- the kitchen is right around the corner with the rest of the major appliances. The bathroom is compact with a walk-in shower. In the bedroom you will find cohesive décor with a taupe accent wall that sets off the queen size bed and desk nicely. There is a closet for storing your belongings.

When you leave the apartment, you will find yourself in Murray Hill, a more residential section of Midtown East. Here are some things to do when out and about in the neighborhood:

• When not cooking in the apartment, you can stroll to Third Avenue for a variety of dining options, from the classic NYC pizza pie to sushi to New England style seafood.
• You will also find a Walgreens pharmacy and a D'Agostino grocery store on this nearby thoroughfare.
• For a little R & R, take a book or a picnic to Bryant Park, near the famed NYC Library with the lion statues in front, less than 1/2 a mile (about 650m) from this one bedroom rental.
• You can also jog along the East River for a scenic route for exercise!

This apartment is also situated near one of NYC's most famous and most convenient landmarks: Grand Central Terminal! This public transit hub is gorgeous on the inside and offers trains in and out of NYC, as well as 5 subway lines (4/5/6, 7 and S trains). This is just over 1/4 of a mile from the apartment (about 450m) and can also be accessed with the buses on Madison Avenue (or Lexington Avenue when you are heading home!). Alternatively the local 6 train has a stop about 5 blocks south (approx.. 500m), facilitating your commute around the Big Apple!
