Sonder The Nash Apartments Midtown East is an apartment-style accommodation set at 222 E 39th St in Manhattan's Midtown East neighborhood, rated as a 4-star property. Guest feedback points to units furnished with generous closet space, dedicated kitchen storage, and a full-size refrigerator, suggesting a self-catering, residential-style layout well suited to independent stays. The property does not have publicly documented on-site amenities such as a restaurant, gym, or spa, so guests should expect a streamlined, apartment-living experience rather than a full-service hotel. Its Midtown East address puts it within easy walking distance of Grand Central Terminal (598m) and a short walk from the Empire State Building (897m) and Bryant Park (897m). Additional Midtown landmarks including St. Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center, Top of the Rock, Times Square, and MoMA all sit within roughly a mile and a half. Farther-flung sights like the High Line, the Met, the Guggenheim, the Whitney, and Central Park are reachable by a longer walk or short subway ride. With a public rating of 3.8 from 77 reviews, the property is generally viewed as a location-driven pick for travelers prioritizing a base near Manhattan's core sights over hotel-style extras.
Best for
This property suits independent travelers and longer-stay guests who want apartment-style living -- with real kitchen storage and refrigerator space for self-catering -- rather than a traditional full-service hotel. Its position near Grand Central Terminal and within walking distance of the Empire State Building and Bryant Park makes it a strong fit for sightseers who want to cover Midtown on foot. It's less suited to travelers seeking on-site dining, spa, or extensive hotel amenities, since none are documented here.
Travel tips
Grand Central Terminal is just 598 meters away, making it a convenient hub for subway and Metro-North connections across the city. The Empire State Building and Bryant Park are both under a kilometer away and walkable in about 10-12 minutes, while Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and MoMA are all reachable within a 15-20 minute walk. For farther sights like Central Park, the Met, or the Guggenheim (roughly 3.6-4.1km away), plan on a subway ride or a longer walk to save time.
What guests say
Guests repeatedly single out the practical apartment features -- ample closet space, dedicated kitchen storage, and a full-size refrigerator -- as a highlight of staying here. The Midtown East location is another consistently praised aspect, with reviewers noting its convenience for reaching major attractions on foot. On-site or in-person staff are described as helpful, but several guests report frustration with remote customer service, citing dropped calls and difficulty communicating with support agents. Overall, the pattern suggests the physical stay and location perform well, while phone-based guest support is a recurring pain point.
