This one bedroom vacation rental apartment for rent is nestled in Manhattan’s Uptown community of Harlem, New York. Located on Fifth Avenue & 124th Street, this fully furnished apartment sits on the 3rd floor of a four-story walk up 19th century brownstone building. It is perfectly suited for budget travelers who need a convenient place to stay.
The entrance to this home provides access to the living room, lined with hardwood floors and boasting two large windows overlooking 5th Avenue. Having been built during the pre-war era, this room continues to emit a kind of old-world charm with its relaxing decorative fireplace set against one wall. Ample table space is available to accommodate workloads, recreational activities, and meal space. One twin-sized chair bed and one twin-sized sofa bed accommodate overnight guests. Fresh sheets are included for these beddings. For indoor entertainment, a cable television is available. For added personality, pictures scatter white walls lined with wood trimming.
Attached to the living room is an open kitchen. To one side of this corridor, generous closet space is available for item storage. The kitchen features tiled flooring and wooden cabinets. It is equipped with most necessary cooking appliances including a microwave, fridge, freezer, oven/stove, and coffeemaker.
The bedroom offers a queen sized bed with fresh sheets. Two windows allow for natural lighting and ventilation, while an overhead fan with lamp provides additional illumination. Abundant surface space including a nightstand and desk accommodate completion of workloads and recreational activities. A chair sits next to the bed offering additional seating space, facing a second decorative fireplace.
Please note: This building is located at a busy 5th Avenue intersection. As such, street noise may be heard throughout the day and night. During the month of November, the NYC Marathon passes right in front of the building.
The community of Harlem, NYC is free-spirited and energetic, often celebrating its cultural diversity. Here you will find many museums, parks, historic buildings, and general attractions. Listed below are just a few places to check out during your stay:

Review by: Flavien R., Jan 06 2020 From: Reunion, Accommodation Rental: 9 days |
The apartment is quite simple, but clean, convenient and well located. The owner is nice, very insteresting, open to others and available. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Feb 07 2020 |
Flavien, thanks for taking the time to write this review. The neighborhood is busy all the time as is all of Manhattan. The bustling is often what draws people here. I haven't had many complaints about the two extra beds but will take a look to see if it can or should be upgraded. Again, thanks , and hope to see you again |

Review by: Sabine O., Aug 27 2019 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
Located not far from 2 subway stations and close to a very convenient bus line. Very nicely welcomed by the owner who is very receptive and kind. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Sep 12 2019 |
Sabine, thank you for the review. Now, I know that someone perhaps have broken a dish or lost a utensil. Whatever the case maybe I can now replenish the kitchen things. Thanks for alerting future guest that this apartment is not on the ground floor. Everything in New York is vertical, but I will make sure the listing reflect what floor it is located. I am glad you were overall satisfied with your stay here and in New York. |
Review by: Isabelle N., Aug 12 2019 From: Belgium, Accommodation Rental: 11 days |
We stayed 11 nights in this apartment located in Harlem. We are a couple with a teenager. It was perfect as a drop-off point after the busy days visiting the city. The apartment is spacious, with lots of storage space. Quite unbeatable value for money for New York. The air conditioning is good in summer. The small but functional kitchen allowed us to have our breakfasts on site, which is nice compared to a hotel. The bedding is really very comfortable (even the sofa bed in the living room). The bathroom has been recently renovated. The building itself is a little old, but it has a lot of charm. |
Review by: Dominique T., Jul 16 2019 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
It was a good value for money, close to the subway (even if it was far from the center but it was not an issue for us) and near a big supermarket which enabled us to cook in the morning and at night (which is no small matter). |
Review by: Didier L., Jun 16 2019 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Very pleasant and well-located apartment, very clean. Bathroom is spacious and the bedroom looks out onto the inner courtyard so it is not too noisy. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jul 01 2019 |
Didier I like to thank you for taking the time to write this review. I wish you had told me the coffee maker was not working it is so easy to replace. The air conditioning usually are not installed until June and I hope it was not to hot with all the rain. Again, thanks for taking the time |

Review by: Sylvain P., Nov 11 2018 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 13 days |
We had a very good stay in this apartment. It is well-located, pleasant, spacious, functional, and has very good bedding. Cutlery is not complete (teaspoons are especially missing). Heating was too high sometimes. The water in the shower was a bit tricky to adjust from time to time. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Nov 26 2018 |
Sylvain, thank you for taking the time to write and alert me the several issues you talked about in the review. I guess some cutlery have gotten lost along the way, I dont know how but will take care of it. With the heat you never know from one guest to the other the right temperature. But had you said something I would have told you how to turn it down. The hot water is single lever and you have to find the right balance, I hope you eventually did and everything was ok. Thanks for sharing these thoughts and I am very glad you enjoyed the Marathon. |
Review by: Daniel J., Oct 18 2018 From: United States, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
The apartment was conveniently located near subway and bus stations, as well as Whole Foods and CVS. It was very spacious and had lots of places to spread out all our luggage and the many things that we purchased. The internal stairs are narrow and twisting, which added to the charm of the building, but one should be prepared when they pack, that bringing 2 smaller suitcases is better than 1 large one. We felt as safe walking around that area as we did in any other part of New York. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Oct 25 2018 |
Daniel, thank you for your time in writing this review. We are very glad that overall you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again. |

Review by: Marie L., Jan 12 2018 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 10 days |
We stayed in this apartment during the holiday season, for 10 days. It was bigger than we thought! Very well-equipped and heated (it was - 10 degrees Celsius outside). Close to subway station which serves Manhattan. There was a bus stand just in front of the building... |
Review by: Elena C., Dec 13 2017 From: Italy, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
We stayed in this apartment for one week in December 2017 and it was beyond our expectations. The apartment is located on the third floor(second floor in European standards), no elevator, the stairway is rather narrow and steep (keep this in mind when you put things in your suitcase). Upon our arrival, the apartment was spotless, warm, bright, furnished with what was listed on NyHabitat site. The bed met our taste: tall and hard, memory-foam style, so did the pillows. We had plenty of towels in the bathroom, shower was good. The kitchen is small, however fully equipped with sink, stove, oven, microwave oven, fridge, coffee maker, flatware for a couple of persons (it was enough for us). Great value to the giant MTA metro + bus maps in the living room: they help a lot in planning your day before going out. The neighborhood is what you expect from Harlem: busy during the day, quieter at night (except for the ER which drove near us every night...I think we were close to a hospital). A couple of grocery stores around the corner, pharmacy, 2-3 trains and 4-5-6 trains at a few blocks, M1 bus outside our doorsteps. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jan 09 2018 |
Elena, thanks for taking the time to write this wonderful review. I dont't think I could have written it better and you are absolutely right, we would have helped with any request you had if you had asked. The walkup has not been a real issue for anyone that has stayed here before. sometimes when their bags are too heavy its a bother but once it is upstairs it is usually ok. The door lock is simple, as you found out, just turn the key and slight push. I do wish you had mentioned it the several times we saw each other. The sirens are very much a part of New York. The bedroom is in the rear but if there is someone in the front you will probably here a sirene every now and then. That is the slight tradeoff for being in the center of it all, but everyone seems to make it through it all with no unsurmountable problem. |
Review by: Graca B., Nov 09 2017 Accommodation Rental: 9 days |
This apartment is very well-located and well served by transportation (bus stops in front of the building and goes down 5th Avenue, and there are 3 subway lines). This vacation rental has a lot of character but extra cleaning would have been great. Special thanks to the owner who is very kind and let us stay in the apartment all day, on our departure day. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Dec 06 2017 |
Graca, thank you for staying here and I'm glad you enjoyed your overall experience. The apartment is cleaned prior to every rental. I wish you had given more details, but following your comment I will talk to the cleaners, double check and make sure they are cleaned better. Thanks for letting future guest know how great transportation is from here. |
Review by: Gabriela S., Oct 13 2017 Accommodation Rental: 3 days |
The apartment is as shown in the pictures. It is near 125 Avenue, where you can find supermarkets and shops, and 2 blocks away from the main train and bus stations. The apartment is on the second floor, in a walk-up building, so it is a bit hard to go up the stairs with big and heavy bags, although it was not a problem for us. The check-in and the check-out were pretty easy with Kevin, he was always available for us. The unit is big and comfortable, it has all the necessary things to live pleasantly. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is spacious. Note that water takes a while to heat and then it is really hot. The building is an original brownstone house... Kevin does a very good maintenance of the apartment. |

Review by: Mathieu V., Sep 16 2017 Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
We were very nicely welcomed by the owner who lives in the building. He is kind and helpful. He brought us a pack of sparkling water and didn't even ask for a deposit. The apartment is well-located, at the beginning of Harlem area, close to subway and in front of a bus stop. It is very quiet and comfortable. Good bedding, clean sheets and towels: no problem. However, we would have liked it to be better cleaned: there were some used tissues under the bed and garbage cans were not emptied for instance. Anyway, we will have very good memories of our stay in New York. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Oct 13 2017 |
Mathieu, Thanks for the review and pointing out certain unacceptable things. The tissue under the bed and trash in the garbage cans are unacceptable. I apologize and will step up the supervision. Again, my apology and I hope to see you again. It is my pleasure that you generally enjoyed your stay. |
Review by: Manuel G., Jul 31 2017 Accommodation Rental: 10 days |
We spent 10 days in this apartment with 3 teenagers (18, 18 and 14). We had a very good stay. It is very well-appointed and the double bedroom is perfect. Of course, the living room/dining area is quickly crowded with 3 teenagers but we were on vacation. The apartment is clean, quieter than expected. Excellent value for money. Owner is very laid back and nice. Definitely, a very good experience. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Sep 06 2017 |

Host was very accommodating in spite of our arrival about 2 a.m. He was always available by text to answer questions. Very convenient location for M60 bus with direct transport to La Guardia terminals. We were there during a heat wave and although there was no air conditioning, the high ceilings and ceiling fans made it quite comfortable. |

Review by: Martha T., Nov 21 2016 From: Costa Rica, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
The disadvantage is that there is no elevator and the stairs are narrow. It is quite tiring if you get back home at night and you have to go up 3 floors with a kid in your arms. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Dec 13 2016 |
Martha, thanks for taking the time. Yes, there is no elevator and I never represented that there was one. However, I am glad that overall you enjoyed your stay once you reach the apartment. No one has really complained before. The towlls are plenty not all match but they are definitely not tattered. The pots are used, of course, and upon examination I see one was a bit to used and I have replaced it, Thanks. Travelling with an infant will call for some extras. |

Review by: Colleen G., Oct 21 2016 From: Canada, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
My host, Kevin, was very welcoming and easy with arrival and departure times. Super friendly and informative about getting around and a few things to do. No complaints about Kevin. Unfortunately there were a few key issues with the apartment. It was dirty. Kitchen in particular was filthy (Fridge interior was clean). It was a lot shabbier than the photos, especially for the price. The TV did not work at all. I had asked ahead about a blowdryer and there were two on site but one had a european plug so not usable and the second did not work and was sticky to handle. Bedding was very shabby and minimal. Pillows were old, compressed and lumpy. They all smelled clean thankfully. Towels, too, were clean but all mismatched and some very worn (I only used one towel, one cloth and one hand towel). Bathroom was clean enough. Dishes were mismatched and old. I did not cook during my stay but used the kettle a couple of times and the fridge and a couple of dishes. But the stove and walls were all splattered and sticky from prior guests. I wasn't expecting quiet so while loud at times, I can't complain that that was unexpected. The location for a tourist is OK but a bit sketchy along 125th. 125th down was great. Recommendations: THOROUGH cleaning prior to each guest. replace all bedding (for the spare beds too as it looked really old) with sheets, pillows, duvet with washable cover. Simple kitchen set up with dishes, flatware, cooking utensils etc and nice towels/dishcloths. Papertowels and extra garbage bags on hand (there were none of either). I did appreciate the space and location for my needs (I was in a course close by) but would not return to that apartment. I like Kevin though. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Nov 01 2016 |
Colleen, I am a little disappointed that although you found me to be friendly and helpful you could not mention any of these things to me while you were here. Had you done so you would have seen my quick response to address all your needs. I checked the Hairdryer after reading your comment and found it to be in working order and wiped it. I told you the TV was not working and I was waiting for the cable to come fix it. I had only notice it the day before you arrived. Most people do not watch TV and no one ever told me that it did not work. Now, the cable box has been replaced and it is all in working order. I am extremely disappointed that you found the place to be dirty/ filthy especially to the degree you say. Utensils and dishes started off as sets and maybe one was broken along the way and individually replaced. I just don't understand about the words shabby and minimal. all sheets and bedding are of good quality and washed regularly. Surely, the pillows didn't stink because they are washed regularly. However, just to let you know I took your suggestion and replaced all pillows to make sure the fluff is present. |

The owner was always checking on us. He was very kind and helpful and he made us feel at home. Our communication was excellent. The apartment is comfortable but the building is a bit old. In my opinion, the apartment should need a better cleaning, especially the kitchen. The bathroom is spotless, which is very pleasant. You can hear some noise because the apartment is in a very busy area, but that's not something negative. I am happy with the overall stay. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Sep 28 2016 |
Anna, thanks for your review and I will pay special attention to it. New York is not necessarily a quiet place anywhere but I hope and it soulnds like it was not that much of a burden. NY is alive especially in the Summer and my building sits right in the middle of the city. Hope to see you again. |
Review by: Stefan J., Jul 25 2016 Accommodation Rental: 11 days |
we stayed for almost 2 weeks in the apartment in Harlem (with a 3 year old child) and really enjoyed our trip there. at the first glance, the neighborhood looked a bit scary but it we always felt safe there and did not experience any uncomfortable situation! the apartment is very close to 2 main subway stations (without elevator access by the time!) and a downtown bus route stops right at the door front (good to go to the central park). a public swimming pool and playgrounds are around the corner. shopping and dining is limited within walking distance, so you have to plan a bit. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Aug 17 2016 |
Stefan thanks for taking the time to write this review. I am glad that overall you found your stay here a pleasant one. Just two blocks over is what is known as restaurant row with plenty of options. The new table you suggested was delivered shortly after you left. Otherwise, I try to keep everything clean and sturdy because of the constant flow of guests the unit does take a beating. |
Review by: Afef J., Jun 28 2016 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |

Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jun 21 2016 |
Afef thanks for the taking the time to write this review. I wish you had asked me about the hot water I could have shown you. I am not sure what you mean you can't keep the light out with the blinds. The blinds are white and filter the light not black it out |

Review by: Sonia L., Apr 26 2016 Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Overall, we are happy with our stay in this apartment. It was well located and the owner was available. We have not been bothered by the noise in our bedroom but the other one was very noisy. Well heated and well equipped apartment. Cleaning was superficial. Trash can was not emptied and fridge was dirty... Walls should be repainted. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jun 01 2016 |
Sonia, thanks for taking the time. I will check and do some painting as needed. As you can probably imagine guest handlinging their luggage can always bump into walls. I cannot imagine the trash can was not emptied but if you said it wasn't that is it. I apologize for that and will always make sure that it is. As the issue with the refrigerator I usually check and clean and empty as needed. Again, thanks for your reply and I will check and make sure I inform those that do the house keeping. |

The quality of the apartment does not match its rental price. Website's pictures should be updated. We had to leave and book a 4-star hotel in Manhattan for the same price. Besides, the owner was not nice at all. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Mar 10 2016 |
Béatrice, I am sorry that the stairs were a problem for you, but it is clearly advertised on my apartment page that this is a walk-up apartment. The pictures are only a few months old and the apartment is exactly as the pictures show. |

Well i had a pleasant time with my boys. The host and his wife were very friendly and helpful. Excellent location to the subways, shops and parks, (my boys love the park for the basketball court).. We had the opportunity to watch the Marathon from the starting to the end right infront of the build. Sounds like great fun. Although toilet lock had to be change for flexible movement so as to avoid minors locking themselves up in and out of the toilet. Other than that. Splendid!!! |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jan 11 2016 |
Enny thanks for taking time to write the review and I am glad you and your boy nhad a wonderful stay overall. As I explained to you and as you probably know toilet locks are to keep others from coming in when occupied Your boy locked the door then closed the door when leaving the bathroom. What he did was kept anyone else from entering and using the toilet. You had been in the place for nearly a week without a problem and I really dont think this should have been a problem for a child about 12 -14 years old. Again I am glad you had a great trip. |

This apartment is a bit small for 5 people but it is functional. We had everything we needed, and sheets and towels were provided. The owner was nice, he trusted us with the inventory of fixtures when we left and did not check every corner of the apartment for cleanliness. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Nov 04 2015 |
Kelly, I am glad all of you enjoyed your stay overall. When there are 5 people in a one bedroom it is always going to be tight but it looks like you all worked it out as the many groups of 5 have in the past. I am also glad that you all left the space tidy and I did check. Thanks. Hope to see you again. |

Gérald, thank you for your review. It was a pleasure having you here, and I am glad that you liked the 5th Avenue apartment. Because you're in the heart of Manhattan, some sounds from the street can be heard in the living room, but since the bedroom is facing the backyard and is very quiet, I'm sure you had a good rest after exploring New York City. |

Review by: Nicola P., May 23 2015 From: Italy, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
I guess the apartment is in a good location for the tourists (right between the metro red line and the green one) and has everything you need. The owner is fantasic and very helpful (he met us aster midnight because we were in late due to a rainstorm on the departure airport). It's not the best to sleep untill late morning cause it's on the 5th street but for us it was not a problem. Per gli italiani è perfetto: in mezzo a due fermate di metro, fornito di tutto e a buon prezzo considerato che si è a Manhattan (il proprietario è molto easy e gentile) |

Review by: Claude G., May 15 2015 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
The apartment is well located, next to 2 subway stations serving the 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 lines (within a 10 minute walk) and the bus stop is at the foot of the building. Downtown Manhattan is reachable in 15 to 20 minutes with the subway. The owner is very friendly and helpful. This Harlem neighborhood is very quiet even at night and filled with various shops. The Apollo Theater is a 15 minute walk. At our arrival, the apartment was very clean and some towels were supplied. Some of the furnishings could be updated as they are quite worn-out. |
Review by: Caroline G., Apr 24 2015 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 9 days |
Well located apartment, close to transportation (bus and subway) in a dynamic neighborhood. The apartment is simply decorated but is perfect for a family with 2 or 3 children. The owner is lovely, discreet but responsive if you need help. Our 9 nights stay was very pleasant, very good value for money! We would recommend this place to those who are not afraid to live in Harlem for a few days! |

The owner gave us a warm welcome, the apartment is close to the metro and bus stops (The owner showed us) in front of the building that will connect you to midtown. The owner also allowed us to check in for our return flight. Warm welcome. Good value for money. |
Review by: Ixone O., Mar 09 2015 From: Spain, Accommodation Rental: 12 days |
We had a wonderful stay in the apartment. Kevin, the owner, was very nice. He helped us a lot and gave us all the information we needed about the area and the city. The apartment was large and clean, it had everything we needed and was very well connected, at only 15 minutes from Times Square by subway. I would absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in New York. |
Review by: Ines G., Feb 12 2015 From: Argentina, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
Good location in Harlem. Spacious apartment. We are a couple with a baby, and we found the apartment very comfortable. Good heating. The bathroom has been reshaped and is in very good condition. The price-quality ratio is very good. Kevin, the owner, is very friendly, he let us an umbrella to go out, and he was always ready to help. |
Review by: Felipe M., Jan 11 2015 From: Brazil, Accommodation Rental: 19 days |
Had a very good experience with the apartment. The apartment looked just like the pictures. It was clean and comfortable - the bed and pillows specially comfortable. The owner was kind and helpful. There were subway lines close to the building which made visiting different parts of the city very easy. Plenty of restaurant options around the neighbourhood too. Would recommend to others. |
Review by: Ralf S., Oct 05 2014 From: Germany, Accommodation Rental: 3 days |
Very good value for money for New York, very kind and helpful host, two subway stations close by, we felt comfortable there. |
Review by: Sylvia H., Oct 05 2014 From: Germany, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
The host is very nice and helpful. He recommended lots of places we could go and see. And it was not a problem for him that we had to leave very early in the morning. |

The accommodation was perfect for our New York stay, bus and subway within very easy reach. The hosts are very kind and helpful. |
Review by: Pascale R., Aug 25 2014 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 4 days |
The apartment is well located, quite close to 2 subway lines. On the other hand, it is difficult to park for several days with parking rules that change from one day to the next. We also found a private parking space that still cost $26 per day, to fit in the budget. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Sep 03 2014 |
Thanks for your review, Pascale. Some guest park on the street and some in the various parking lots in the neighborhood. The choice is the guest. If it is parked at the right time, that i usually help them with they can stay parked for probably 3 days without having to move it. A little noise comes with being in the center of things. However, I do think it is bearable. I have to check and make sure that there is at least 5 sets of flatware (the maximum amount allowed for this unit.) I will also make sure that the top sheets are available, the top sheets were probably in the laundry. Yes, you could have mentioned all of this and it would have been taken care of immediately. But I am glad you did enjoy yourself. The apartment is usually cleaned and mopped prior to all arrivals. I will check and recheck in the future to make sure that the apartment is thoroughly cleaned. See you next time. |
Review by: Alexander P., Aug 07 2014 From: Venezuela, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |

Review by: Monique N., Jul 07 2014 From: Belgium, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
The entrance hall wasn't very clean and tidy (stacked tools and pots of paint); the apartment floor hadn't been cleaned before our arrival. The pillows were stained... |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Aug 04 2014 |
I apologized if the floor had not been swept and mopped. It is usually routine that the floors are thoroughly swept and mopped prior to every guest arrival. I don't know what happened but I will double check for all future guest. As for the tools and paint buckets in the hall they were probably there until they could be carried upstirs at a later time. Thanks for pointing that out and I will in the future try to move them where they are going a lot quicker. Lastly, I replaced the pillows with new ones. Thanks for your comments, I will use them to improve the stay of guest. |

Review by: Ramsés D., Dec 13 2013 From: Venezuela, Accommodation Rental: 10 days |
Excellent accommodation! Comfortable and in a great location. What more could you ask for - close to subway, bus at the door of the building, local stores, parks and less than 2 km from Central Park... not to mention the nice super. |
Review by: Thomas P., Oct 23 2013 From: Germany, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
Very kind host. The room is spacious, clean and well appointed. It just lacked a toaster, but the oven made up for it. The kitchen, the fridge and the bathroom are in very good condition and very clean. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Oct 29 2013 |
Thanks Thomas and I am very glad you enjoyed your stay. You are right that the way the air condition sits in the window it allows some noise to filter through, but that is the trade off. |

Answer by: Accommodation Owner Sep 12 2013 |
Hello Nadine, there are pictures of all the sleeping arrangements (chair bed and mention of air bed) on the website. There really is not a lot room to put permanent beds and leave room for people to be comfortable in the space. |
Answer by: New York Customer Service Sep 12 2013 |
Thank you so much for sharing your review with us! Thanks to your feedback, please note that we constantly make an effort to give the most accurate information possible and that is why our description of the apartment discloses the fact that when 5 person are occupying this premises, a person will be sleeping on an aero-mattress. |

Owner is very nice, always willing to help and always willing to improve your stay. The apartment is one block away from the [2] and [3] lines and two blocks away from the [4],[5] and [6] lines. Making it easily accessible to the rest of Manhattan. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jun 18 2013 |
Thanks Domenico, I am glad you overall had a nice stay and felt that the overall attributes of staying here far out weighed the negatives of New York City street late at night. You have to watch yourself all over NYC in the late hours of night. |
Review by: Sharon S., May 31 2013 From: United States, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Clean and serene is how it felt to stay here, especially after I put away several folding chairs into the closet. The bed was just heavenly to sleep in, and the quirky bathroom sink was a very fun design touch. |

Review by: Sylvie P., Apr 28 2013 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Warm welcome. Vacation rental in a good location fairly near midtown by bus and subway. The extra beds though are a bit small for tall adults. Nevertheless, good quality for the money. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Aug 26 2013 |
Thank you Sylvie, these are not regular beds but sleeping accommodations that consist in an armchair bed, a sofa that can serve as a bed, and an air mattress. I believe the beds are standard size. |
Answer by: New York Customer Service Aug 26 2013 |
Thank you so much for sharing your reviews with us! We disclose on our apartment page the information about the sleeping accommodations and about the fact that 5th avenue is a busy street and can be noisy at times. |

I very much enjoyed my stay here. Although I only spoke to the owner over the phone, I found him to be helpful and courteous. The area itself is fine. A typical busy, urban area. A little seedy at night perhaps but just be aware of your surroundings just as you would in any other area. I had no problems with safety and felt comfortable. |

Corinne, thanks for your review. I am glad to hear that everything was to your satisfaction and that you enjoyed your stay in New York. |
Review by: Frederique P., Mar 21 2013 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 4 days |
This vacation rental is very well located - #1 bus to Central Park / 5th Avenue right outside the apartment and two subways stations less than a 5-minute walk. The accommodation is comfortable. There's everything you need in the kitchen to cook a few meals and prepare breakfast. |
Review by: Francesca R., Jan 25 2013 From: Italy, Accommodation Rental: 10 days |
We had a great time. The location is convenient for all means of transport. The host is very nice and helpful. There are a couple of very nice bars in the area. Central Park is 10 minutes away!! |

Thank you Francesca. I am glad everything was to your satisfaction. Toasters have caused a great deal of difficulty in the past and I had to remove it from the space. However, I am considering adding another one. |

Review by: Yves S., Sep 07 2012 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 11 days |
Welcoming and friendly owner. Spacious apartment, but isn't very comfortable. Worn furniture and not enough kitchen utensils for 4 people. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Sep 11 2012 |
The utensils were an issue before and I added more than enough for 5 people. I will check again and add as needed, enough for 5 people the maximum amount I rent to. Had the guest just mentioned this it could have been taken care of very easily. I often ask all guest if everything is ok and for whatever reason they never say anything. |

Good location near the subway. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Aug 21 2012 |
The unit is within one block of the west side train and 3 blocks of the east side train. On the corner there is the M60 that goes to La Guardia airport for $2.25. In front of the building is the #1 bus that goes down Fifth Avenue (Museum Mile). Within one block you can ride a bus to most points of Manhattan. |

it's the 2nd time we choose this accommodation for our stay in new york and we were delighted. The bedroom looks over a very quiet inner yard, but the extra beds are in the sitting room looking over the street where there's much more traffic. The host is very nice and available to give information on new york. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jun 05 2012 |
A smile met with a smile. Most of the guest that have stayed here have been wonderful and a pleasure to meet. That is what makes doing what I do so easy and when I see a repeat customer it makes it easier to smile and be warm when you are met with the same. |

The apartment is located in Harlem. A wonderful starting point to reach the subway an to go anywhere in Manhattan. We used the bedroom for one person and the bed in the living room for the other person - that was OK. |
Answer by: New York Customer Service Apr 12 2012 |
The owner contacted us to explain that when the building is fully occupied and other apartments are using the water at the same time, it may take a minute for the water to get to the desired temperature. He also confirmed that he will check and clean the appliances double. |

Two of us stayed for two weeks in late Sept/early Oct. Landlord's relaxed, laid back style contributed to a wonderful holiday. Take his advice and visit The Highline & The Shrine - well worth it. Apartment was comfortable, spacious and well appointed (the only thing we'd suggest is a little extra cooking cutlery). Location was great, the bus stopping right outside the door & subways a short walk to either the east or west. |

For the price it was great (compared with hotel prices!). I was here with my parents and I felt comfortable. If you are looking for a cheap spot to sleep, this is definitely the right place. It takes only 20 minutes to reach downtown with the subway. On weekends it is very noisy at night - so do bring earplugs! The beds are a bit saggy but OK. I was satisfied. |

My friend and myself liked the flat you rented to us. This vacation rental was well situated in Harlem with a lot of buses, subways and stores. Really pleasant to live. Our owner was a very nice man and gave us some advice to visit NYC. |
Answer by: New York Customer Service Sep 15 2010 |
The apartment owner stated that in regard to the cleanliness, it may have been a dusting oversight on his part in between rentals, but will be sure that each area is touched upon between each rental. The owner has checked out the inventory in the kitchen and found there were 3 pots, 3 frying pans, 6 plates, sufficient utensils and cutting knives. The owner will add more glasses and cups. |
Review by: Adeline B., May 25 2010 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
We had no problem at all with the apartment. The owner was very hospitable, very kind with the kids. He was there on time the day we arrived and gave us advice on where to shop and how to get around New York. The accommodation is very quiet and tastefully decorated. It is located near shops and the subway, and the M1 Bus runs past the building, which makes it easy to go everywhere in Manhattan. |

We thank New York Habitat and [the New York vacation rental owner] for staying in his home. It was a nice apartment and everything worked to our utmost satisfaction. |

We loved [this New York vacation rental], and the owner was really friendly and welcoming and gave us a US cell phone to use while we were there. The apartment was perfect, better than we expected and perfectly placed. We'd definitely come to you again and will be recommending you to friends. so thanks! |
