This fully furnished studio apartment is located in Uptown Manhattan in Harlem, New York. The accommodation is on the top floor of a 4-story walk-up building. It is perfectly suited for budget travelers who need a convenient place to stay.
This studio vacation rental features hardwood floors complemented by simple furniture. There is a queen size bed, desk, television, and a small table with two chairs. Please note that there is no formal kitchen in this vacation rental. However there is a mini refrigerator with a microwave and coffee maker for making simple meals. A closet provides storage space, and an iron is available.
The two windows of the apartment have western exposure.
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.
Harlem is an historic and animated community in Manhattan, bubbling with life and activity. In the heart of Harlem, you will be nearest a hub of sights and attractions:
The rest of NYC is just a subway ride away from 125 Street / Lenox Avenue (2 and 3 trains, .2mi/350m) and 125 Street / Lexington Avenue (4, 5 and 6 trains; .3mi/550m).
Review by: Clement D., Jan 06 2023 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Great accommodation in a great location, within a few minutes walk from Central Park and with several means of transportation close by (a 5-minute walk away). |
Review by: Laurence A., Apr 19 2022 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
The accommodation is spacious, nice and bright. The bed is very comfortable: king size! The kitchen corner is more than enough for a short stay. The bathroom is spacious. The apartment is ideally located by subway lines 2 and 3: 15 minutes to reach Times Square. The stop is right next to the apartment. You can also take the M1 bus to go to Central Park and to the MET going along the park. The bus stop is right outside the building. The neighborhood is very nice and the people there are very helpful. We found a supermarket 5 minutes away with very good produce. In short, a tremendous stay with adorable owners! |

A clean and spacious room for a stay in New York where we were just sleeping. |
Review by: Marjorie B., Oct 17 2019 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
The owner was nice and friendly. He lives on the ground floor of the building where the flat is located (on the 3rd floor). |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Oct 28 2019 |
Marjorie, thanks for this review. Obviously, someone did not do what they were suppose to because the refrigerator should be emptied after every departure of guest. I will make sure I double check before the arrival of futute guest and make sure the cleaners do as they were suppose to. I am in the building, as I told you, and I would have been glad to show you how to worki the single handle shower control. However, I do hope you enjoyed your stay and will come back and thank you for the review |
Review by: Pascal T., Oct 13 2019 Accommodation Rental: 11 days |
Hello, |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Nov 17 2019 |
Pascal thank you for the review. I really appreciate it. Im not sure what Vmc noise is and I will now make sure cleaning materials are left in the flat. However, it appears the cleaner was not on their job and I did not inspect as I should have. I am sorry for any inconvience and will make sure future guest do not have the same problems. Thank you |
Review by: Hélène T., Sep 30 2019 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Very good location, convenient, close to subway lines, good welcome. Spacious room, but the housekeeping was very well done. Company review: Very good responsiveness, proposals corresponding to our budget. Perfect! |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Nov 17 2019 |
Helene thanks for taking the time to write this review. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and I will make a greater effort in checking on the cleaners. Thank you and hope to see you again. |
Review by: Landry G., Jul 19 2019 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Really great and owner was kind and eager to help. |
Review by: Stephane L., May 21 2019 From: Canada, Accommodation Rental: 3 days |
The apartment is very well-located in Harlem, close to 2 subway lines, Whole Food and a good restaurant. The facade of the building is well-kept. The studio apartment is middle size, with a fridge and coffee maker. Television is old but functional. Bathroom is more recent. The studio was very clean and the mattress was very comfortable. We just slept here and the price was perfect for us. However, if you want to relax outside, be aware that there's no balcony or terrace. |
Review by: Benjamin B., May 05 2019 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 9 days |
Hello, we booked this studio apartment for 9 days in april 2019. We are fully satisfied by our stay. The owner is nice and helpful. The vacation rental is great, bedding is impeccable, the living area is spacious enough for 2, bathroom is private and kitchen area has fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Everything was clean. Regarding the location, it is very well-located in Harlem with two subway stations less than 500 m away and great stores, very convenient, at one of the stations. Note that one of the subway station is an express one - very convenient at night so that you can go back home faster. As you can imagine, we were very happy with the service provided and we recommend this place. |
Review by: Sylvie C., Apr 09 2019 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
We enjoyed this very very well-located apartment, close to transportation: the bus for Manhattan is just down the building and the subway station is 150 meters away. It is very quiet as it looks onto the inner courtyards. Please note that the apartment is on the 3rd floor with no elevator. However, it is a truly genuine and charming building. The owners are absolutely lovely despite our very late arrival. They waited for us very patiently and were all smiley when we arrived. Unbeatable value for money. |
Review by: Mélanie M., Nov 23 2018 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
We spent a very pleasant week in this studio apartment which is very well laid out and functional (very well heated in winter). It is located in a quiet area but right in the heart of Harlem, a 5 minute-walk from the red and green subway lines and steps from all the stores. Times Square is 15 minutes away maximum. We highly recommend this studio which has an excellent value for money and we will gladly be back for our next trip. Kevin and his wife welcomed us very nicely and they are at your disposal for any advice and information during your stay if needed. |
Review by: Michela C., Oct 22 2018 From: Spain, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
We had great time here at Kevin's. He is a very polite, discreet and helpful host, with lots of tips. The building has lots of character, very typical on three floors, on a quiet corner just close to a park. The neighbour is amazing...we loved Harlem! Lots of music, colors, interesting people on the street. Whole Foods just 5 minutes walking. The room is simple, spacious, functional, tidy. The bed is very comfortable, good mattress and pillows. We had everything organized for a coffee, a tea, small breakfast. A fridge is included as well. The metro is just 5 minutes walking and takes you directly downtow, all in all maybe 20 minutes. Central Park is at the horizon....some 15-20 minutes walking. I would come back right away! |
Review by: Thierry S., Oct 15 2018 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
Kevin was kind enough to wait for us until midnight as our flight was delayed. The apartment is ideally located next to several subway lines (2-3-4-5-6) which enable to easily reach Downtown Manhattan, as well as many stores (Whole Foods Market, fast food restaurants, clothes stores, etc). |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Oct 26 2018 |
Thank you Thierry for taking the time to write this review. Sometimes you have to wait a minute for hot water to reach the top floor but as you found out it comes. I will endeavor to get the workers to add a little more time to detail the unit a little better with the cleaning. Furthermore, the building is about 150 years old and we struggle to do our best and thank you for your review and suggestions. We hope you do not feel mislead in any way. Hope to see you again. |
Review by: Mick B., May 31 2018 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 9 days |
Very well-located next to subway and buses, very quiet area and very pleasant owner. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jun 12 2018 |
Mick, If there was a problem with the shower all you had to do was tell me. No one has ever said the shower doesn't work and I live in the building readily available to correct any and all problems. In fact, Mick, I checked the shower and you were right it was after years of wear and tear not working properly. I have just replaced it with a brand new one. But overall, I am glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again. Thanks for your review. |
Review by: Marie Noelle P., May 04 2018 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 10 days |
We really enjoyed staying in this nice and old typical house. Very spacious, simple and basic bedroom but very comfortable. We also appreciated the large and really comfy bed after walking all day in NYC... |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner May 16 2018 |
Thank you for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed your stay. I am glad that you chose my home for your visit to New York. |
Review by: Anne B., May 25 2017 Accommodation Rental: 15 days |
The room, simple but pleasant, well-lighted and clean was perfectly comfortable. The area was quiet with pleasant sounds of birdsong, especially mourning doves. The owner of the building was very helpful and accommodating. The home is well located for subway service, the 2 and 3 trains being very near, the 4 and 5 trains quite near, and the A train very easy to walk to. The street life is lively and interesting. And there is a market with a great variety of food and drink one half block away. I can recommend the room without reservation. |
Review by: Ana P., May 17 2017 Accommodation Rental: 10 days |
The best of all was the host, who made us feel at home. |
Review by: Anniek M., Dec 12 2016 From: Netherlands, Accommodation Rental: 10 days |
As a young couple traveling on a budget this was a great choice. The apartment has everything you could need and especially the privacy of having an own bathroom was very nice. The building is old which gives it a lot of charm but also means not everything is straight or in perfect condition. The owner was very friendly and had good tips of what to do and see in the city. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Dec 15 2016 |
THANKS ANNIEK, Yes the building was built in the 1860's and despite the extensive work on the building there is always something. But as you found it to be it is very comfortable. Traveling in Manhattan all depends if you are on the East side and trying to get to the West. or just where are you going. Centrap Park and Museum Mile are both a short walk away. It all depends where you are going from one day to the next 3 stops you are at 42 nd street and within 3 block there are 8 subway lines, 6 bus lines and one can take you to almost any where in Manhattan without changing lines. That is the advantage of being here. A direct line to where you are going. |
Review by: Valerie P., May 23 2016 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Excellent bedding. The cupboard of the bedroom was filled with heaters, hangers and air mattress, so our clothes stayed in our luggages!! Fridge was good but if we had known that there was no kitchen, a kettle and 2 mugs would have been appreciated. In the bathroom, our products stayed on the furniture as the interior was not clean (there were a razor, a shower gel, etc, surely coming from previous guests!!). Sink, toilets and shower were suitable. Heater was covered in dust, drawer under the bed was unusable (not very clean). The building could have style if it was a bit maintained, it is a shame. Disabled people can't access the building. We are aware that the rental price is not high for New York City but still... |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jun 21 2016 |
Valerie, I hope your vacation was a good one. When i returned I found that the worker had put the air conditions on the shelf in the closet. I still don't know why he did that and I apologize for the inconvenience. the hangers were for your use and the air mattress is for extra guest. The place was never advertised with a kitchen. As the pictures show, there is only a microwave and small refrigerator. I will take your suggestion and look for a small electric kettle and mugs. Thank you. This is a four story walk up that you are right I don't think is suitable for a disable individual. Again, i apologize for the untidiness you spoke of and appreciate your comments. I will mentioned to the clean up crew and make sure that all these suggestions are kept in mind. |
Review by: Laetitia R., May 08 2016 Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Landlady was very welcoming. Apartment matches website pictures and has comfortable bedding. It is located in a quiet neighborhood and between two major subway lines (15 minutes from Time Square). A good address to remember. |

Review by: Alesha B., Jan 11 2016 From: Canada, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
A decent and affordable place to stay for our visit to NYC. The condition of the apartment didn't quite match what was online, and I'm unsure that it had been cleaned prior to our arrival. Didn't really bother us though, as it was merely a place to put our heads. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Feb 04 2016 |
Alesha, I assure you that the place was clean prior to your arrival. I wish I knew the specifics of your complaint. |
Review by: Cecile P., Nov 11 2015 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 3 days |
This apartment is very pleasant, quiet and comfortable (the mattress is great, I slept like a log!!!). It is located next to two subway stations with multiple lines that take you downtown very easily. The owner is nice and helpful (as I left on the day of the marathon and that the cabs could not easily circulate, he escorted me a few blocks further and make sure that I find a cab, he even negotiated the fare for me). I will happily come back in this apartment. |
Review by: Federica T., Oct 24 2015 From: United States, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
Very positive experience: I enjoyed very much the comfortable apartment I rented for a week in New York City; as for the landlord, he was always nice, patient, and helpful. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Oct 27 2015 |
Federica, thanks for taking the time to write the review. It is always a pleasure to know your stay here was pleasurable. |
Review by: Ana Carolina D., Oct 19 2015 From: Brazil, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
The owner was great and helpful. The apartment is a good option and the price is fair. You must be clear that you are in Harlem. Neighborhood has a great atmosphere, sometimes it doesn't seem very safe, but we didn't have any problem. Subway and bus station are very close, distance is not really a problem. It's not so quiet, and sometimes neighbors could be very noisy at weekends. Overall I recommend this apartment. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Oct 13 2015 |
Thank you very much for your review, Ana Carolina. It was a pleasure having you here. Indeed, the neighborhood has a great atmosphere and has everything you need. |
Review by: Luis Alejandro M., Oct 03 2015 From: Colombia, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
The apartment is very well located, and easy to reach by subway and by bus. It would be useful to have more information about the purpuse of the deposit. Due to the short amount of time we had when we left to the airport, we didn't understand why did we have a discount in our deposit. I think the apartment is very good if you are going to move around Manhattan. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Oct 15 2015 |
Luis, I am glad you found that the transportation was adequate. I think it is probably overall one of the best location for transport in the city with access to three major subway lines, 5 bus routes and much more, including easy access to all airports by subway. Thank you for the recommendation and I am glad you found everything satisfactory. |
Review by: Robyn G., Jul 30 2015 From: New Zealand, Accommodation Rental: 4 days |
Apartment was fine, everything we expected. It was clean, the owner was hospitable and greeted us on arrival. The apartment was very secure and we felt safe once inside however should have done some further research about the area as we felt unsafe at times even though it was just a short walk to the subway. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Aug 03 2015 |
Robyn, thanks for the review and I am please that you were happy with your stay here, "once you got into the building". As you said, the subway is only a block away and you did not mention any direct threat to you. For over 4 years, I have been hosting guest from all over the world and not once has any of the guest experienced any direct attack. Also, many of the guest walk the entire area at all times of the day and are quite comfortable doing so enjoying the numerous restaurant and entertainment venues. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, I urge everyone no matter where you are in New York or elsewhere be alert at all times and keep on trucking |
Review by: Monika S., Jul 22 2015 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
Everything went well, the apartment is well located. The subway lines are close by, which is very nice. Cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. The noisy is tiresome, if you're not used to it you can't sleep at night. You can hear everything, even the neighbors, but I think the whole city is noisy. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jul 29 2015 |
Thanks for taking the time to comment on your stay. I apologize for your restless night , but I did not know you could hear the neighbors at night that clearly. With the unit in the rear of the building away from the street late night noise is generally kept to a minimum. As for cleanliness, the space is always cleaned before it is delivered with clean towells and sheets. Hopefully, you will consider staying here again. |
Review by: Virginia G., Jul 20 2015 From: Canada, Accommodation Rental: 2 days |

Review by: Rainer L., Jul 15 2015 From: Germany, Accommodation Rental: 3 days |
The apartment was ideal for our short stay of 3 nights. There is no full kitchen available, but that was ok with us, plus, we were already made aware of that fact from the apartment description. Great value for the money, particularly in New York. Great location, and the subway takes you in 20 minutes to Midtown. Dealing with the very friendly landlord was a breeze. Very recommendable. |
Review by: Wilson T., Jun 15 2015 From: Colombia, Accommodation Rental: 4 days |
Great apartment, comfortable and has all the needed stuff. The location is good but could be a little scary at nights. Kevin was really nice and helpuf with all the needs. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jun 22 2015 |
Thanks for the taking the time to write this review. I am please you were satisfied with the accomodation. As is the case with all of New York you have to watch yourself late at night and during the day, but I am happy to say for 4 years no one has ever experienced any difficulty at night or day around here. |

Oscar, thank you for the review. I am happy that you enjoyed your overall experience here. I equally disappointed that there was trouble with the water pressure. I will check the pressure to avoid any discomfort to any future guest. Again, thank you for your visit. |
Review by: Anna F., Dec 09 2014 From: Italy, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
Me and my boyfriend spent 5 nights in this apartment. The owner Kevin was very kind with us, the apartment is really good and comfortable and also the neighborhood was quiet and there was no traffic outside. The subway is close and there's also a bus stop in front of the door! It takes 20-25 minutes to reach midtown so i will totally recommend this place. |
Review by: Manuela F., Nov 13 2014 From: Italy, Accommodation Rental: 4 days |
The apartment matched the description and the photos on the website. The host was helpful and kind. I recommend it to all who want to save some money and avoid the loud center of Manhattan |
Review by: Riccardo C., Oct 27 2014 From: Italy, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |
Very positive. Excellent communication with the landlord, who received us very warmly. The apartment is very well connected to the city center by public transportation. |

Review by: Melinda P., Aug 12 2014 From: United States, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
This was a bright, airy studio on the 4th floor of a beautiful brownstone in the heart of Harlem. The bathroom was also large and updated, and the bed was very comfortable. I didn't try streaming, but the wifi worked fine for email and internet searching. It would be nice to have an electric alarm clock and a bedside lamp, but overall this was a great place to stay that provided the feel of New York living with easy access to the subway. I would definitely come back to stay again. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Aug 18 2014 |
Thanks Melinda. I appreciate your comments and review. Yes, an alarm clock and lamp would probably enhance a guest comfort. I will look to add those small items . |

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful city. [The host] was always nice and helpful he give us useful tips about area. The apartment is very close to the subway and shopping. In 10 minutes you are in Manhattan! |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner May 08 2014 |
Jeremy thank you for the wonderful insightful review. I would change only one thing about it. My location is in Manhattan and what you probably meant to convey to future user and readers of your review is that it is 10 minutes from Midtown Manhattan. Thanks a million and I do hope to see you again. |

The host was very friendly, hospitable and accommodating. Comfortable accommodation, very good bed. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Aug 27 2013 |
Thank you Emmanuelle. There is not much to walk to in the neighborhood, after dark, other than all the bars and restaurants one block away. I think you will find that up until it gets very late ok to go and mingle. I don't hang out there much past 12pm but usually most people feel very comfortable up until that time. |
Review by: Herve D., Aug 08 2013 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
The email and telephone communications with New York habitat were of quality. Your company offers a very good service and a very good follow-up. We get the name of a representative and we can contact them directly. This is very important today as we live in a very impersonal world. Unlike many companies, NY Habitat offers a highly personalized service. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Aug 14 2013 |
Herve, thanks a million. I am glad you found the service of NY Habitat and myself satisfactory. I think we both aim to please. |

Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jun 18 2013 |
Thanks Simone, I am very thankful for the wonderful review. I did not know the wifi was weak, it was never mentioned by previous guest. It might have been a time we were experiencing difficulty, however, I will check it out. |
Review by: Yvonne M., May 15 2013 From: Germany, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
I was very comfortable. The host was very nice and helpful. The value for the money was fine for me. It had Bohemian charm. The only thing is it smelled of urine a bit on the 3rd floor. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner May 22 2013 |
Yvonne, Thanks for your review. The Tenant in the front on the third floor had a medical condition which might have been the cause of the smell. He has since been put in the hospital where his leg was amputated due to a diabetic condition. |
Review by: Liliana C., Apr 24 2013 From: Italy, Accommodation Rental: 10 days |
Overall, the accommodation, in a perfect location with subway and bus stops a 5-minute walk away, was quiet and comfortable (facing an inner courtyard, not the street), the sheets and towels were clean and smelled nice. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner May 07 2013 |
Liliana, thanks for your stay. As advertised, cooking is not an option in this unit. The microwave and small refrigerator are there for an as needed basis. |

The owners were very hospitable and friendly. They kept in contact with me from the time of the reservation until I arrived. The studio was very clean and well kept. The building was surprisingly quiet. |
Review by: Hanane A., Mar 08 2013 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
The owners are nice, smiling, open and kind. When we came across them, they made sure everything was fine on our side. the owner was at the apartment when we arrived to give us the keys. The owner gave us a hand to take our stuff upstairs as we were loaded and there's no elevator, which we appreciated. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Mar 26 2013 |
Hanane, thanks for your visit and review. Overall all we hope that you enjoyed yourself in New York. Sorry, that it is a 4 story walkup but i hope that it was not that bad after you got your belongings upstairs. I think the walk perhaps once, maybe twice a day really is not that bad. |
Answer by: New York Customer Service Mar 26 2013 |
Thank you very much for your review Hanane. It gave us the opportunity to visit the property to improve our pictures and to make sure our information is accurate. |

Review by: Sondra F., Dec 04 2012 From: Italy, Accommodation Rental: 3 days |
The owner is really polite and always willing to help. The flat was fine and we were very happy about the choice. The only problem was the area. In general Harlem is fine, but the few blocks around the building and the subway, were a bit different. During night we always preferred to take a cab. |

Thank you very much for your review Sondra. I can see how the area may be a bit intimidating during the nighttime, but you and any perspective tenants may rest assured because there are many lively spots within the area that stay lively through the night. An example of this may be the 5 restaurants and bars within the train station's proximity that are open until 4am. |

Very kind host who also gave us some tourist tips. The accommodation is within easy reach of 2 subway stations as well as bus lines. |

Positives: fairly quiet, well served by public transport, subway and bus alike. Lovely neighborhood and not dangerous at all. The studio is spacious. |

Thanks for your review, Marta. This unit is on the top floor and I have been informed that it leaks in one spot by the window when it rains. I have patched the roof and at this time, am waiting to see if what I did solves the problem. |

Everything was great. We met the owner and he was very helpful. He even provided us a map of the area and gave us recommendations about where we should visit. This was a great value and would recommend it to others! |

This vacation rental is very good by New York standards, with the average American standard of cleanliness, which leaves quite a bit to be desired, and not excessively expensive for what I've seen in Manhattan. But even so, it is very expensive (to be in New York), and with no elevator and no kitchen, it's quite limited. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Dec 20 2012 |
Silvia, thank you for your review. It is a 4th floor walkup, but it sounds that after you got your bags up, you went on to enjoy yourself and the neighborhood. The apartment is advertised with no kitchen and I think as prices go, it is moderately priced for Manhattan and the location. |

It was a very great choice to live in this apartment in New York. The owner is very helpful and nice, he want's to make everything very easy for you. We could even use his phone to make a call to a relative in the States when we arrived. |

We were happy with our stay in this well located apartment (a 5-minute walk to the subway station). |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Jul 26 2012 |
In the future, I will take an additional minute as I introduce the guest to the room, and show them how to operate the single lever shower body. |

We were delighted with our stay in this little studio apartment, the bedroom and the bathroom are fully adequate, however there is no kitchen (plan some flatware if you want to cook...). The host is charming and always available for any question. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner May 24 2012 |
I thank the guests for their comments. The apartment includes a small refrigerator and microwave which has usually been adequate for most people that rent this unit. |

The flat is quiet and very well located, close to 2 subway stops, small supermarket and all the facilities at the corner. The landlord was very nice and helpfull. I had a great stay! |

Good value for money. Owner efficient, contact easy. Downtown only 15 minutes away with subway, typical neighborhood. Building rather old but sufficient to go back to and sleep, large bathroom, very clean towels. |
Answer by: New York Customer Service Dec 14 2012 |
The owner contacted us to say he will check the heating and explain to future guests how to turn it off when needed. |

Good value. Pleasant, helpful owner. |
Review by: Jon L., Nov 21 2011 From: Australia, Accommodation Rental: 3 days |
Good value for money. Pleasant and helpful landlord. Quiet because of its location at the back of the building. Good location because it was within easy walking distance from my work (at CCNY). Rapid connection via 2 and 3 subway to 42nd and 34th Streets. Could do with coffee-making facilties and less rickety fridge-microwave combination. |
