These fully furnished bedrooms for rent are in a shared 3-bedroom duplex apartment located in East Harlem, New York. The apartment is comprised of the 1st and 2nd floors of a 4-story townhouse building. Enjoy the backyard garden, shared amongst the roommates, and including a picnic table for the warmer months.
The first available room for rent (Bedroom 1) is on the upper level, and features high ceilings (11') and extra tall windows that allow in natural light and overlook the street. The room is furnished almost as a studio, with a single size bed, a desk, a sofa which faces a television (with cable and HBO access), as well as a mini-refrigerator, convection oven, toaster and coffee maker. A ceiling fan provides air circulation and air conditioning is available in the summer for an additional fee.
The other bedroom that is available (Bedroom 3) is on the 1st floor, featuring a double size bed nicely positioned near two windows with a view of the backyard, as well as a sofa that faces a flat screen television (with cable and HBO access). There is a ceiling fan, and an air conditioning unit can be installed for an additional monthly fee.
Wireless Internet access is available.
The bathrooms and downstairs kitchen are shared with the roommates. The first upstairs bathroom has a w/c and a shower, while the second has another w/c and a sink. Downstairs is the fully equipped kitchen, which provides access to the backyard. There is a bathroom with a shower on the 1st level.
This 3 bedroom apartment share is located on 116th Street in East Harlem, a neighborhood in Uptown Manhattan, New York. This street has many restaurants, and just around the corner on 1st Avenue you will find Patsy's Pizzeria, a neighborhood favorite for this New York City specialty. The East River mall is about 2 blocks away, with a Target, Best Buy and Old Navy. For nature-lovers, Jefferson Park, bordering the East River, is less than 3 blocks away and the famed Central Park is also within walking distance (about 9 blocks). Former President Bill Clinton made his office in this neighborhood, a few blocks north on 125th Street.
Public transit is convenient with express buses and train that run north/south in the area. The 4/6 subway station is only 2 blocks from the apartment.
I had a very good experience with the owner which is a very friendly and good person. The room was spacious and with the common conveniences.
Apr 26 2013I recommend this place !
This is a very nice place to live. The roommate is kind and considerate, and easy to get along with. He is also very quick to fix any problems that arise. The facilities are good - kitchen, bathroom, internet, cable tv etc - and the location is also good - easy walk to the 6 train at 116th st - plus close to the East River shopping plaza, and the riverside walk/bike path.
Dec 16 2012One possible downside for a light sleeper - the room is on the ground floor on a street with heavy foot and vehicle traffic, but its not too bad most of the night.

Thanks for your review, Robert. I am glad you found this a nice place to live, and offered good results.
Dec 18 2012If I were to be a roommate in someone's place away from home, I too would like to find that things are good at a great price. My aim is to have roommates feel at home with a taste of Puerto Rican hospitality.
