These rooms for rent are in a shared duplex apartment on Manahattan's Upper West Side. Situated on 74th Street between Central Park West and Broadway, this apartment share is in a neighborhood that is home to many national icons as well as a stretch of convenient shops, a great location for both new visitors to NYC and those familiar with the area.
The available rooms for rent are situated on the upper level of a duplex and on the ground floor of a walk-up brownstone building. A narrow spiral staircase connects the upper level to the lower level rooms in the basement. The apartment does feature laundry facilities downstairs, available to guests.
The first room for rent, Bedroom 2, features a queen size bed, while the other available room, Living Room 2, has a double size futon. Living Room 2 also has a glass sliding door (though no window) that gives access to the apartment's private backyard garden.
Shared rooms upstairs include the living room, which is furnished with a sofa set, a dining table and a decorative fireplace. The shared kitchen is connected to the living room and is stocked with a coffee maker, toaster and microwave, as well as a dishwasher. All the basic plates, utensils, pots and pans are provided.
The backyard garden accessible through Living Room 2 and features a large patio table and a BBQ grill. Depending on the status of Living Room 2, the acess to the garden may be limited.
This part of the Upper West Side is quite convenient! The 1/2/3 and B/C trains are all within 3 blocks from the apartment (350m and 600m respectively), giving you both local and express trains that will take you to most parts of Manhattan directly! A bus can take you across Central Park to the Upper East Side (though it is a known to be a pleasant walk!).
There is plenty of shopping on Broadway (.2mi/250m) and many restaurants on Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues.
This apartment is strictly NON SMOKING.

The nice landlady provided us with a lot of information about the attractions we wanted to see. The apartment is very well located, next to the subway station and the city attractions. It is close to all services like the subway, convenience stores, restaurants and bike rentals. We had our breakfast on the apartment's sundeck every morning. Central Park and cycling paths are also nearby. All said and done, we loved our stay in this apartment. |

The apartment is very well located in NYC. (In front of Central Park, next to American History Museum and very close to 72nd subway station). |

Lori, the apartment owner, was super nice and always willing to help and give us advice. However upon arrival, the apartment had not been cleaned yet. She apologized and they cleaned it in that very afternoon. In the evening when Lori left, the dog that lived in the house for a few days scratched at the door because he missed the owner, that was a bit annoying. |

Hello Rosario, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and it makes me happy to know that you appreciated all of the extra things I did to make you and your friend's visit to NY more enjoyable. It is fortunate that the apartment is large enough to be able to accommodate your extra guest at the last minute even though it was not in your contract. |

This subletter is charming and helpful. The only improvement needed is to do with the perfect insulation in the cellar that is on the same level as the accommodation, hence the roaches coming through!!! |

Thank you for your comments and it was such a pleasure to meet you and your lovely mother! I really appreciated the thoughtfulness of the nice card she gave me upon her departure. It was very sweet of her to take the time to write some kind word of thanks to me. |

Lori, the owner, is very kind and gracious. The apartment is in an ideal, strategic location. |

Thank you for your kind comments Andrea. It is fortunate that the apartment is large enough to be able to accommodate your cousin to join you and your uncle at the last minute for a night and you could spend time with him. |

Very spacious and comfortable. Should let people know that access is a very narrow spiral staircase. I would stay here again. Great location for upper west side and Lincoln Center. |
Answer by: New York Customer Service Nov 07 2012 |
Thanks for the feedback, Luise. We took your suggestion and updated our apartment description, specifying that the spiral staircase is very narrow. Glad you enjoyed your stay in NYC and hope you come back in the near future! |

The owner gave us a great welcome and was very hospitable and flexible! I loved staying at her place, the neighborhood was absolutely perfect for a stay in NYC, quiet and near everything you need like grocery stores, restaurants and a subway stop! |

Friends had recommended New York Habitat to me as an excellent accommodation-location service. I am so glad I took their advice, as the apartment I stayed in was not only excellent value, but comfortable, warm, quiet, perfectly situated and an all-round terrific experience. |

Roy was a gem! Extremely friendly and considerate. Paid on time and left place neat and clean. A very thoughtful person. Thank you for referring him for my apartment. |
