Photos and Description of the Midtown Manhattan vacation apartment rental
Spacious 1 BR 1 BA Garden Apt Plus Optional 2 Rooms & 1/2 BA Sleeps up to 10

Feel at home with traditional furnishings with contemporary backgrounds, colors and accessories. Designed for sophisticated living with a thought for elegance without ostentation.

Enjoy refined comfort and convenience. Just open the front door to find the heart and soul of NYC at your feet. After you experience an exciting and fun filled day of sightseeing, shopping, museums and theater you can escape from the fast pace and relax in peace and quiet...just steps away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Your private walled garden is perfect retreat for relaxing with a glass of wine or cup of coffee.

When you enter your apartment you'll find the romance and charm of exposed brick walls, wide plank floors, and original art.

A cushioned single Bahama bed is convenient for another guest.

A quaint 150 year old opaque glass wall separates the living room and bedroom. Pamper yourself with an excellent night's sleep and wake refreshed in the queen size bed with quality linens, a fluffy feather duvet and lots of extra pillows. There's plenty of room for all of your clothes and shopping sprees in a wall of custom fitted closets. The en suite tiled bathroom has a small tub with shower and a built-in vanity for the sink and wrap-around mirrors.

A rare find in New York is the separate and full eat-in kitchen with large double door refrigerator/freezer with automatic ice maker, full stove with oven and full size dishwasher. The kitchen is nicely equipped with microwave, coffee pot, pots and pans, dishes, glassware, champagne glasses, martini glasses, ice bucket and flatware....just what you need for the real New York lifestyle.

The dining area with window seat overlooks the peaceful garden.

If you don't feel like cooking, just order in from the many near by restaurants or have the grocery stores deliver.

An adjacent 2-room 1/2 bath duplex suite is available for large families. The small downstairs room is furnished as an office/library and has a queen size sofa bed. Private interior stairs lead to a large upstairs bedroom with 2 twin size beds. A 1/2 bath is off of this room.

There are 5 rather shallow steps into the building making it unsuitable for very young children and guests who might have a problem with stairs.

The apartment is one of three units in a private 4 story townhouse. It is on the garden floor in the back and is exceptionally quiet, clean, safe and secure. You'll find many extra modern details such as high hat lights in all of the rooms, a security buzzer to open the front doors and quality windows and doors.

It is said that the famous dancer Isadora Duncan once lived here.

We haven't been able to confirm this, but like to believe that it is true. We hope that you will spend some time here, too.

About Marea Edynak

Travel is my passion and I love to meet new people. My main home is in Florida, but I come to NYC as often as possible. It is rewarding to share my knowledge of insider places with my guests. I wrote a book for my guests, 'How to Live Like a Real New Yorker in our Neighborhood'. It gives suggestions about where to eat in all price ranges, museums, attractions, grocery shopping, luxury shopping, discount shopping, how to take the bus and subway, how to find your way around the city and lots more.

I also write a blog about NYC with posts about restaurants, attractions, How to get Theater tickets and other Tips for Travelers. Just 'like' me on facebook to read it: facebook.com/VacationRentalsInNYC or if you are not on facebook, please e-mail me for the link. You don't have to stay here to read it.

I hope that I can inspire you to love NYC as as much as I do.

Marea Edynak purchased this apartment in 2003
Why Marea Edynak chose Midtown Manhattan

You can't find a better Center City Location convenient to all that New York City has to offer. My husband want to see trees and he did not want to look out the windows into the neighbors' windows. I wanted to open my door and have New York City at my feet.

What makes this apartment unique

It is rare to have a large garden and huge trees in the center of Manhattan. Look in one direction and you might think you were in the country. Look another direction and you see skyscrapers. It is only 2 blocks from the subway and 1/2 block from 2 bus lines.....a quick walk but not close enough for the noise.

Safe, Convenient, Quiet

5 of 5
Submitted: August 3, 2006 Stayed: July 2006
This apartment is perfect for any family visiting NYC.
Quiet and convenient - only 2 blocks to the 6 train! Walk to Empire State Building and Flatiron Building.

So quiet we could sleep past noon!

Marea, the hostess is gracious and better than a local tour guide. She gives the information that only a resident really knows: restaurants, bargain shopping, how to save on broadway shows.

Neat, tidy, and intriguing building in a great section of Manhattan. The private courtyard takes you into a secret world!

Loved this Apartment - Highly recommend

5 of 5
Submitted: December 30, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Highly recommend this apartment, location and owner- easily 5 stars!!

We couldn't stop talking about how lucky we were to find this wonderful apartment. It made our Girl Scout trip to NYC even more fabulous. Marea greeted us when we arrived, gave us valuable tips on where to go and how to get there. The apartment and location were super! The place was well maintained - clean and the perfect size. We took advantage of the kitchen and eating area to have leisurely breakfasts before starting out on our daily adventures.

We were so close to everything, sightseeing, several subway stations, restaurants, and shopping. We really liked this neighborhood and it's location. It was very safe, quiet, and had a relaxed atmosphere. We traveled with 8 teenagers and 3 adults and used both the main apartment and the library, and studio. We would definitely come back!

Also important to us was that whenever we contacted Marea, the owner, prior to our visit, with questions - we received a prompt, caring, and informative response. We couldn't have asked for better service - it was like visiting family.

Wonderful Space and Comfort for a Family of 5

Submitted: May 1, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
The location of the apartment & the overall comfort it afforded us, played a big part in the success of our NYC vacation. Before we arrived, I was nervous that the unit wouldn't measure up to our expectations but I need not have. The apartment worked well for us - one couple & 3 teenagers. Everyone had room to spread out, especially at the end of the day. We read in the bedroom, the young ones played cards, watched TV in the main room and snacked in the kitchen. Everyone was happy.was happy.

I especially loved reading the newspaper in the back patio...what an oasis! While we visited the weather broke records, 25 degrees Celsius in March...I can imagine how wonderful this little spot must be in summer, especially when you can fire up the
