Up another flight stairs you will find three bedrooms and one full bathroom. Offering ebony stained hardwood floors the apartment has the look and feel of a modern downtown loft. Farmhouse chic meets city glam where the furnishings are in a simple contemporary and eclectic feel with décor from Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, Ikea and West Elm mixed in with farm house antiques finds.

The apartment is clean and uncluttered. This is not a part time residence; so while you will find everything needed to make your stay enjoyable, you won’t find any personal belongings collecting dust or cluttering the closets.

There is also a separate dining area with a large farmhouse table that can seat 8 comfortably.

Great time in New York City

  • 4 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 12, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
The apartment is spotless, roomy and very centrally located - 8 blocks to Central Park, 8 blocks to Times Square! We were a party of 4 women and the 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms were perfect for our week's stay. Our only concern was that there are steep steps up to the front door, and two sets of stairs in the apartment, which caused us struggles with our heavy suitcases. There are several restaurants on the same block as the apartment, and lots on 8th and 9th Avenues. We recommend the Harlem Gospel Tour on Sunday morning.

Fabulous

The property was exactly how it looked in the pictures. Beautiful, clean and had everything we could possibly want. There are two long staircases; one up from the front door and one up to 3 of the bedrooms so although it was fine for my group I could see it being an issue for some. The location is great; right on the edge of Hell's Kitchen and very close to the Theatre District, Times Square and Central Park. There are many great restaurants in the area including a few right in the same block as the apartment. We had such a great trip and it had a great deal to do with the wonderful accommodations!

Fabulous apartment - like a second home

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 9, 2013
  • Stayed: Mar 2013
I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to stay in such a clean, comfortable, roomy and incredibly well-located apartment during our recent stay in Manhattan. We were two families of 9 people and found the apartment to be big enough where we could all have our privacy when we needed it, yet cozy enough to sit together at the end of the day and regroup. We were particularly happy with the kitchen, where we prepared a Passover Seder for 10 people and the dining area where we all sat comfortably for the meal. Lisa was incredibly responsive and thought of virtually every detail, from toys for the kids in the living room to a full spice rack in the kitchen. She was even so kind as to find a hotel nearby for my mother at the last minute. When we had a slight problem with the hot water (which could have been our fault), she responded immediately and brought over a repair man to fix the temperature setting. The rooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable and there were plenty of drawers and closets in both the bedrooms and bathrooms. There is one bedroom that doesn't have an external window, but it was still light and airy and wasn't an issue for us. The location of the apartment was perfect (just down the street from the Gershwin Theater - we even won the Wicked lottery!) and there are many wonderful restaurants right on that block. I found the electronic lock to be convenient with so many of us going in and out at different times and the nights and early mornings were surprisingly quiet considering the busy location and the pipe repairs currently being carried out on the street. All in all, it was a wonderful place and helped make our stay in New York very special and memorable. Lisa couldn't be more professional and thoughtful.

My NYC vacation rental secret is out...

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Dec 15, 2012
  • Stayed: Dec 2012
I write this vacation rental review almost half heartedly as my new found vacation rental secret is now out. Having rented this property for a group of 8 lifelong friends, we honestly could not have been more delighted with the accommodations. Instantaneously we felt right at home and treated it as it was truly our own (I hope others will continue to do this, as I would love to return again one day). The space and household supplies were obviously well thought out. We had mugs and a coffee maker and even an iPod speaker at our fingertips to enjoy our morning coffee before heading out to see the city. Initially I thought we might run into problems with 8 people getting ready in the morning but the separated washroom set-up made for easy use of space. The rooms were well designed with comfortable beds and lots of storage space.

A special thanks to Lisa for her professionalism and answering all of our questions in a timely fashion. Renting a vacation property that you’ve never seen can be unnerving experience but it is wonderful to see what a lovely vacation rental that Lisa has set up. She’s really done an outstanding job of decorating the space and thinking of all those fine details like the books in the rooms and earplugs. We suggested a couple other small ideas that we thought might help add to others stay (ie. a nice blanket throw for the living sofa and perhaps some coasters to keep the space looking fresh). Upon our arrival we actually crossed paths with the property cleaners who were lovely ladies and left the space spotless and smelling refreshed.

I could go on and on about the location but others have already touched on this. I will share one highlight of our trip that included a food tour of Greenwich Village and Soho (Foods of NYC Tours). It was so interesting, informative and especially tasty! Overall, you really can’t go wrong with this property. It is in the perfect location for walking and subway, and was just a delight to return to at the end of the day.
