Perfect NYC experience for a family with 3 Kids

5 of 5
Submitted: April 18, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We stayed for 8 nights in the Deluxe Balcony Suite and had a perfect experience. The flat was beautiful, elegant, airy and full of light with large windows opening to the room and to the living room. The decor is very tasteful, and everything is perfectly clean. This upper-east side brownstone is regal, classic and by far bigger, nicer and more elegant than many room hotels in New York City and for a fraction of the equivalent rate.
The space we stayed in consisted of a flat with one bedroom and one full bathroom, and 3 sofa beds in the living areas, along with a small kitchen and dining table. It was perfectly comfortable for our family of five with three children ages 7, 9 and 11. My wife and I stayed in the room, which has a Queen bed, and the kids in the Sofa/Beds in the living area.
Julia, the owner, is the ultimate host. She is there when you arrive, also when you leave, checks with you everyday, and provides you with tips, housekeeping services every day, fresh Frette bed linens, Nesspresso machine, high quality towels and amenities in Bathroom. Thay can also take care of your laundry if needed at no additional cost. This is very impressive hospitality service by any standard. I have visit NYC more than 10 times, and I work in the resort development industry, so I know a little about standards and rates and location in the city, and would like to point out that a place like this, in Manhattan Upper East Side, with service like this for a family of 5 would easily set you back for double or triple the rate Julia charges for her beautiful and elegant flats at an equivalent suite space in a NYC hotel. The fact that you have a fully equipped kitchen is priceless when traveling with kids. The grocery store, a subway station, plenty of restaurants, the metropolitan museum and Central Park are all within a five-minute walk or less.

My husband, daughter (sophomore in college) and I spend a wonderful 8 days in Julia's beautiful and comfortable brownstone, Upper East Side in an idyllic location just steps from Central Park. Having travelled to NYC on many occasions, I am very familiar with the city. I have never experienced such peaceful, quiet surroundings that are, at the same time, so close to all that NYC has to offer. I am accustomed to being awakened by police sirens. ambulances, traffic, revelry from rooms nearby, etc. at all hours of the night even in the finest hotels...and it was such a pleasure to experience the quiet oasis of Julia's very well equipped and restful accommodations. Julia was an amazing and gracious host who ensured that we had all that we needed to enjoy our stay, from directions to menus to excellent local restaurant suggestions, to involvement in our unique personal interests. For example, my husband is an avid cyclist and was interested in spinning classes during our stay. Julia not only provided recommendations on facilities, she personally selected classes and instructors based on her experience, and not only made reservations but checked in during the class to make sure my husband had found his way there! Her attention to and interest in her guests is outstanding.
When we arrived, we enjoyed the unique welcome ceremony with the authentic and historically interesting antique bell located in the lobby, and then were shown to our very beautiful apartment - one of the unadvertised flats, we had not seen photographs and were duly impressed by the high ceilings, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bed/comforter, and impressive art and décor.
In general, we always try to rent short-term apartment accommodations whenever we travel, as opposed to the impersonal hotel. There is nothing that makes you understand and appreciate a city more than living like a local in your own home, albeit borrowed! The downside is that without a concierge/staff, sometimes it feels like you are a little "too" on your own, with no one to help if you have questions. Julia's brownstone is truly the best of both worlds; all the comfort, cleanliness and professionalism of a hotel, with the personal nature of feeling that you have a host who is looking out for you and there to help you enjoy your stay.We enjoyed it thoroughly and hope to be back!

Great Uptown NY Stay!

We had a wonderful stay in Julia's beautiful flat! She's super friendly and helpful and responds to questions via text or email almost immediately. The apartment is clean, quiet and spacious, beds very comfortable, kitchen well-equipped, and the location is FANTASTIC!

We liked that this neighborhood is not a tourist center but offers great access for tourists.It's just a block from the park and few blocks to major museums and the downtown subway lines. Any store or restaurant you may want can be found within a few blocks.

Lots of natural light (a good thing). There are also blackout shades & down comforters in the bedroom making the room extra cozy. The drugstore across the street sells eye-shades for $10 so we purchased those for our child sleeping on the (comfortable) foldout bed.

I would definitely recommend her flats and would love to come back!

We have just returned to the UK from New York having spent a fantastic few days staying in the Grand Deluxe Balcony Apartment. Our group consisted of myself, husband, 16 year old son and 11 year old daughter. The apartment was brilliantly located within walking distance of many museums and wonderful restaurants. We had so much more space than if we had been staying in a hotel.
The kitchen area was extremely well set up and there were groceries awaiting our arrival in the fridge. The apartment was cleaned every day and quickly felt like “home away from home”. We would thoroughly recommend this apartment to any family looking for the ideal place to stay in New York. Julia took care of everything quickly and with great efficiency.

Our family stayed in this beautiful "loft" style apartment in a former mansion across from the park. The big beautiful windows provided tons of light in the comfy living room. The kitchen had everything we needed (though we only had breakfast there). Julia, the owner was thoughful and keen to provide us with every comfort. I had the opportunity to peek in on the other apartments available in the building and would recommend any one of them. All were lovely in their own way. We will never stay in a hotel again!
