This fully furnished two bedroom apartment is located in Washington Heights neighborhood, a historic part of Harlem in Uptown Manhattan. The apartment is on the 2nd floor (considered 1st floor by Europeans) of a 3-story brownstone walk-up landmark building dating from the early 1900s. There is a video intercom system for guest entry and the convenience of on-site laundry facilities.
This New York apartment features two working gas fireplaces, granite kitchen countertops hardwood floors, and a central air conditioning system throughout the apartment. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and microwave in addition to the basic appliances. There is an elevated bar area with two chairs for casual meals, and a round dining table in the kitchen with four chairs for larger groups. A deskchair from the office can be added to accommodate an extra person, so overall 7 people can be seated for meals, though not at the same table. Down the hall are the bedrooms and an office area with a local phone line. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other bedroom has a double sized bed and a convertible sofa bed. Two single size ottoman chair-beds are available to provide sleeping accommodations for extra persons (one in the living room and one in the second bedroom).
Air conditioning cools the entire apartment and wireless Internet access is available throughout.
Both bedrooms have windows with southern exposure, overlooking the backyard garden, and the living room has three French windows with northern exposure, facing the street.
Washington Heights offers exceptional living in a quiet yet exciting area of Manhattan! You can relax in Jackie Robinson Park, just over two blocks west. There are many schools in the area: Boricua College (3 blocks away), the City College of New York (2 subway stops away), and Columbia University (3 to 4 stops away). A grocery store and a pharmacy are both within a block's walk and you will find delis and restaurants around the corner on Amsterdam Avenue.
The nearest subway station is just a block away, with the A/C trains. The B/D station is also nearby, about 3 blocks away. Both will connect you to Lower Manhattan and the rest of New York City.

The apartment is as advertised. It is fairly well equipped. It's very close to various subway stations and the various places to visit are easily and quickly accessible on foot. It's true that it's not central, but that wasn't a problem for us. The neighborhood is quiet and we felt very comfortable there. |
Review by: Pierre Q., Nov 04 2023 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 11 days |
Superb apartment, very functional,( washing machine), well located for shopping and taking the subway. An apartment that perfectly met our requirements. We wanted a quiet place, away from the touristy hotels, in immersion with the locals. It was perfect. We felt safe and secure. |
Review by: Eric M., Aug 26 2023 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
The apartment is well located in a safe neighborhood 100 meters from a subway stop that takes you to downtown New York in 20 to 30 minutes. |

Review by: Matthieu E., Aug 06 2023 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 13 days |
Spacious apartment, very well equipped, ideal for a family stay |
Review by: Christophe F., May 01 2023 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Even if the apartment seems far from downtown , it is at 100 m near to subway station. Direct line. And it was also quite easy to go to JFK airport ( Line C, one subway station change at 50th street for us, and fast line E for making connection with Airtrain). You consider 1,5 hour. The apartment is clean, well equiped, and very calm. Around it is not the best nice place of NY sure, but it is okay. To be improved : the bathroom to be refreshed - and warm/cold temperature set up of the shower is not easy - and toilets are in the bathroom. Overall statement stays positive. |

Well-located apartments, in a quiet street and in a pretty house close to the subway. The living room is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, and being able to use the washing machine and tumble dryer is a plus. |
Review by: Evelyne P., Jan 07 2023 From: Switzerland, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
Awesome apartment with two bedrooms and a sitting room. The apartment equipment was perfect. Special thanks to Paula who leaves (or takes on replacing) the kitchen essentials (spices, cleaning equipment), so we don't have to rush to the shops as soon as we arrive. |

Happy with our vacation rental. |
Review by: Anne B., Aug 03 2022 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 13 days |
Great apartment, nice location. |
Review by: Juan Cruz S., Jul 07 2022 From: Argentina, Accommodation Rental: 14 days |
The apartment is amazing, very comfortable, VERY SPACIOUS, fully equipped with all kinds of appliances, like a laundry room with a high-quality washer and drier, cleaning and maintenance supplies, a varied number of dishes and cutlery. Everything was MUCH, MUCH better than what can be seen by photo and the neighborhood is very quiet. The owner, Paula, was excellent. Every time we needed to communicate with her, we did so quickly and directly, the first day she came to receive us and the last day she came to say see us off and return the deposit. Everything was very, very nice. |
Review by: Alexandra G., Apr 18 2022 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
Very nice owner, always there when you need her. Accommodation very close to subway. Quiet neighborhood. |

Dear Jean-Philippe, |
Review by: Lucia A., Sep 09 2019 From: Italy, Accommodation Rental: 12 days |
The apartment was absolutely consistent with the description and the photos. Well maintained and furnished. The bathroom was small but functional (even for five adults and two children). The bedrooms were excellent. The landlady was nice and helpful. |
Review by: Chantal D., Nov 04 2016 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
The apartment is located in a quiet street for a city like New York. The landlady is likeable and attentive to our requests. Getting to the subway is easy. Cleaning should be done more thoroughly. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Dec 07 2016 |
I hope you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. I just wanted you to know that your apartment was well prepared in advance of your arrival and that cleaning items are provided in the laundry room if needed throughout a visitor's stay. |
Review by: Petra S., Apr 27 2016 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Overall, this apartment is decent but a bit borderline regarding cleanliness. The code for the Internet was given only a few days after our arrival, which is a little annoying when you arrive in an unknown city (and you actually need to look for information!!!). At the end of our stay, we have been asked to take off the bed sheets and to do a load of laundry, which is a bit inappropriate isn't it? There is no toaster in the kitchen, what a shame! |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jun 20 2016 |
Sometimes our expectations can determine our experiences, in spite of what we may actually encounter. And what is familiar at home may be different somewhere else. Such is the beauty and value of travel. |
Review by: Philippe P., Aug 30 2015 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
We had a great stay in this apartment: comfortable, spacious and well located to reach the metro. It was nice to return to the quiet neighborhood at the end of our days of visits. The landlady is very welcoming, friendly and available. However, there is only one true bed and the mattresses of the sofa beds are uncomfortable. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Sep 16 2015 |
Thank you for staying at my place Philippe. I'm glad you liked the apartment and neighborhood. The sofa beds, while convenient, can sometimes present varying concerns depending on a user's comfort level. For that reason, the linen closet (bottom section) is stocked with two feather mattress toppers for guests' use. Regards, Paula. |
Review by: Nicolas V., Aug 24 2015 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
Excellent rental. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Sep 16 2015 |
Thank you, Nicolas, for your recent NYC visit. I appreciate that you thought the apartment was a secure, excellent rental. It was a pleasure having you and your family stay here. I'm sorry that the pull-out mattress felt too 'springy', which sometimes is a drawback to furniture that does double-duty service. Thankfully, there are two feather mattress toppers stored in the lower section of the apartment's linen closet for guests to use for moments like this. |
Review by: Isabelle C., Aug 10 2015 From: Canada, Accommodation Rental: 3 days |
Everything was perfect, no downside. It wasn't our first time renting this apartment and everything was great. |
Review by: Tova H., Jun 16 2015 From: Sweden, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
Very nice, serviceminded, easy to have contact with the owner. Big apartment, good equipent in the kitchen, wi-fi. Perhaps the cleaning in apartment at arrival could have been better, clean sheets and towels. Very near to subwaystation. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Sep 16 2015 |
Tova, thank you for your feedback on your stay. It was nice having you there. Please know that the apt was prepared before your arrival regarding cleaning. Clean linen is provided and a fully stocked linen closet is there for guests' use. Best, Paula. |
Review by: Anthony M., May 08 2015 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 9 days |
Very nice welcome from Paula. Very kind. Pros : the apartment is airy and functional |
Review by: Dail D., Apr 20 2015 From: Cayman Islands, Accommodation Rental: 12 days |
I spent 12 days at the apartment with my family of 5 and it was a good and comfortable experience for us all. The location was great and I did like the feel of the neighbourhood. My only complaint would be the pull out beds not being very comfortable but that's to be expected with those types of beds anyway and it would have been nice to have a second bathroom with 4 kids around. That said we managed just fine as any household should. The owner was great and I took to her personality from the onset. She was very cordial and pleasant to be around and I have nothing but good to say about her. I would definitely stay in this apartment again and given its location (not being in the hustle and bustle of the city) I think it's ideal for families looking to get away for a few days. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Apr 21 2015 |
Thank you for your very kind words. I'm so glad you and your family had a very enjoyable experience here. It was so nice having you stay. And thanks for taking wonderful care of the apartment. |
Review by: Nnaemeka U., Oct 09 2014 From: Nigeria, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
The owner was very helpful and very pleasant. The fridge needs to be changed. It kept dripping water because the door kept opening up and could only be closed a certain way which my kids couldn't quite manage. The rental is very close to a train stop which was a plus for my family. Altogether a nice rental though I was careful going out very late at night. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Oct 14 2014 |
Thanks so much for your feedback, Nnaemeka! I'm sorry you had issues with the fridge, it has since been fixed. The gasket along the refrigerator door frame didn't allow the door to shut tightly, resulting in condensation, and so I had a repair service replace the gasket. Now the door closes securely. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! |
Review by: Aymeric D., Apr 16 2014 From: United States, Accommodation Rental: 15 days |
Nice and spacious apartment. The hostess is nice. It is quiet. Not many place to eat in the neighborhood, a good fish and chips to go 7 blocks away. The street is nice. For subway the line c is located at 1 minute walking. For kids some playgrounds around. The only thing is that the Internet network is poor. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jun 25 2014 |
It's always nice to hear feedback from guests about their experiences in New York City. It was wonderful having you and your family stay here for your visit. The apartment is located in one of Manhattan's residential areas and I'm glad you enjoyed the apartment and your stay. I'm sorry you had trouble with the internet; the apartment has high speed internet service and I think it is sometimes affected by weather conditions. |
Review by: Antoine L., Jan 14 2014 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
We are very happy with this vacation rental. The accommodation was very well arranged and the hostess is very nice and helpful. |

Dear Stephane, |
Review by: Hélène M., Jun 27 2013 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
Vacation rental a bit off centered but very close to subway (150m), no problem at all with the accommodation, good basic facilities, we'll just mention the dining table size: for 5 it was a bit tight and there were only 4 chairs (we had to use an armchair) and yet the accommodation is advertised for up to 6 people. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jul 22 2013 |
Thank you for the warm review. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Please note that the apartment comfortably sleeps 6 people. It has a queen size bed in the master bedroom, a full size pull-out sofa bed in the second bedroom, plus 2 twin size pullout hassock beds, one in the 2nd bedroom, the other in the living room. |
Review by: Rico M., Apr 04 2013 From: United States, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
Owner was great... prompt with communications and very helpful. The apartment was plenty big for 6 people, and we were all comfortable. The neighborhood was fine. We had a drunkard smash a beer bottle on the street outside our window one night, but no other notable events. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner May 08 2013 |
Thank you Rico for those nice comments. I am glad that you found the apartment spacious. When several people shower frequently, there's a real need for the shower curtain to dry out thoroughly in a full, open position. The shower curtain may not have adequate time to dry out if it's left in a folded position at the end of the shower rod. |
Review by: Segundo F., Mar 22 2013 From: Australia, Accommodation Rental: 2 days |
I really thank to the owner of the apartment that I have been in New York. It was a very memorable place, nice, clean, very comfortabe, most importantly the owner make us feel like we were in our home given as all facilities possible, once again thank you so much. |
Review by: Roselyne A., Feb 10 2013 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
We were very disappointed by the value for the money. When we arrived, we had to do the cleaning, which is not normal. Also, given the price the owner asks, you expect a certain level of comfort and cleanliness but - nothing. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Feb 20 2013 |
I'm sorry that Roselyne was disappointed, but it may be the result of a misunderstanding. Here's an account of what happened as I recall. The four guests arrived by car, driving down from Montreal on the New Year's Eve weekend holiday period. As they were arriving by car, their arrival time may not necessarily have been as precise as they had planned. |
Review by: Mark S., Dec 12 2012 From: United States, Accommodation Rental: 4 days |
We would stay there again. Very convenient to subway. Easy to park on street. Nice owner. |
Review by: Caroline And Johan V., Nov 19 2012 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 4 days |
Very functional apartment, large, clean and comfortable, close to public transport. |
Review by: Michèle C., Nov 05 2012 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
The apartment is very well-equipped, only the bathroom is outdated. Although it is fairly off-centered, having the subway in front of the building is great. As for the owner, she is amazingly kind and helpful. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jan 30 2013 |
Thanks for your review, Michèle. I make sure to maintain the apartment well. In fact, not more than 10 years has passed since the renovation of this apartment (including the bathroom). The bathroom has marble floor and a marble sink. I am happy that you enjoyed the location of the apartment! |
Review by: Clelia S., Oct 27 2012 From: Brazil, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |

Review by: Helene B., May 01 2012 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
we enjoyed this neighborhood very much, it is much less touristy than those we already knew ; very well located with regard to bus and subway lines. both apartments are very good, comfortable and very quiet. we do hope to return. |
Review by: A Guest, Apr 18 2012 From: United States, Accommodation Rental: 4 days |
Very nice and helpful owner. Very good accommodation. |
Review by: Fernando R., Jan 11 2012 From: Brazil, Accommodation Rental: 9 days |
Absolutely as announced. To be honest, better than expected. The owner, Paula was kind, friendly and helpful in anything we need. |
Review by: Morgan R., Oct 18 2011 From: United States, Accommodation Rental: 3 days |
This apartment was everything advertised and promised. Proprietor Paula was kind, helpful and efficient. I would return and will recommend to friends. Although in Harlem, it is less than a block to the Subway and you can be downtown in 20 minutes for $2.50/person. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The apartment is remodeled with very nice appointments, furnishings are nice and tasteful and more than adequate. The only negative we had was upon arrival we found that the departing guests were still there. Paula handled the situation gracefully although it was obviously awkward. Fortunately, we were going to the theater and only had planned to drop our bags and go right back out. This gave Paula time to stay behind, see the other guests out and clean up before we arrived back. Also, the wireless internet code was not in the information packet so by the time I got a message back with the code from Paula, I had missed the window of opportunity I needed it |
Answer by: New York Customer Service Nov 03 2022 |
The owner did say that the guests were still in the apartment when the new guests arrived and they did have to ask courteously the previous guests to vacate the apartment. The owner has not set check-in or checkout times, but as long as the arrival times are announced, she will make sure that the apartment is vacated and cleaned prior to arrival. Also, the apartment owner said that the wireless Internet code will be given to each guest. |
Review by: Catherine G., Sep 28 2011 From: Australia, Accommodation Rental: 10 days |
Owner attentive and responsive, beds need new mattresses, leak in ceiling was a problem when it rained heavily. But overall a good experience. |
Answer by: New York Customer Service Oct 05 2011 |
Along with extra linens in the closet, the owner also keeps a feather bed which can be placed on top of the futon or sofa bed to add comfort. The owner can also offer air mattress beds if required for a different comfort. There was a minor leak in the bow of a front window and the owner has since had this issue repaired. |
Review by: Dorothee K., Sep 27 2011 From: Germany, Accommodation Rental: 4 days |
Paula's accommodation is really very nice.The kitchen is very well equipped and great to prepare meals. The house was recently renovated and everything is stylish, neat and clean. Paula is very friendly and helpful. |
Review by: Pascal R., Sep 21 2011 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 2 days |
Good accommodation, it looks more comfortable than it is... worn bedding (except in the main bedroom) can't sleep in the extra bed (it's better to put the mattress on the floor) bathroom was very dirty (no cleaning done by the previous guests) |
Answer by: New York Customer Service Sep 28 2011 |
Further to this review, the owner contacted us to confirm she will review all the linens and explain that there is a feather mattress topper in the apartment that guests can put on the futon for extra thickness, or the owner can provide a bed frame and a queen size air mattress upon request. |
Review by: Claudio L., Aug 04 2011 From: Brazil, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Tha appartment is confortable. However it should be cleaner. We had problems with the linen, which was dirty. We also found it could have been better cleaned before our arrival - things were done rather in a hurry. This said the owner was kind and did everything she could to overcome these shortcomings when we complained. |
Review by: Clément C., Jan 20 2009 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Thank you very much for your service and help. We had such a good time in New York, the apartment and the owner were great. The add was exactly like the apartment. Our stay was excellent. Thank you! |
Review by: Claudia B., Sep 11 2008 From: United States, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
The apartment [in New York] was in really good condition, everything nice and clean, very comfortable and cozy. We had everything we needed and even more than we were expecting. The owner was very nice as well. |
