Rock's Townhouse

Why settle for one kitchen when you can have two? Or four bedrooms when you can have eight? Or for a decent location when you can be in the thick of things? With 4,000 sq ft of luxurious space spanning four floors and complete with a private garden, large groups of friends can plant themselves here – conveniently positioned just nine minutes' walk from Times Square. Other nearby hotspots include husband-and-wife-run canteen Pure Thai Cookhouse (two minutes away), Don Antonio for an authentic New York slice (a four-minute walk), and Dutch Fred's cocktail bar (seven minutes' walk) – named for the veteran police officer who supposedly coined the fiery Hell's Kitchen moniker back in the Prohibition era. Don't need all this room? Consider renting just the top or bottom units – Rockefeller's Hearth or Spindles.

Home truths:
* Two of the bedrooms do not have air conditioning and air conditioning in the rest of the townhouse is offered from 15th May until 15th September
* Hell's Kitchen is a central Manhattan neighbourhood so expect some traffic and construction noise
* Your keys will be left in a lockbox accessible with a code for a seamless self check-in experience
