MANHATTAN GARDEN APARTMENT (#37059)

Write a review We stayed in this great apartment in mid Feb. Elizabeth was very accomadating as we organsied our stay at very short notice. My wife & I were travelling with our 18 month old daughter and this provided a comfy safe base to explore NYC for the week. I would choose this accomodation over a hotel every time!! Close to Central Park and rail. It had everything we needed including heaps of cable for the cold evenings in. We will be back. We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The owners were available and kind. The apartment was clean and the district was calm like we expect. There is nothing negative to say about this apartment. The price is not expensive. So, it's a good value. We recommand it without any hesitation. Een prima appartement in Spanish Harlem, NY. Eigenaren zijn heel relaxt en altijd bereid om tips en dergelijke te geven. De tuin zag er op de foto een stuk mooier uit dan in het echt, geen gebruik van gemaakt. Het bad is ok om in te douchen, niet groot en schoon genoeg om in bad te gaan. Veilige omgeving en metro 3 blokken lopen. Our vacation in New York City was great. The apartment is in a good location-close to the subway. Elizabeth was very helpful with any questions that we had. I would definately recommend staying here to anybody. Lovely house and a wonderful host. The neighbourhood is safe and there is plenty to do around. Our son just loved it. Very much recommended Thank you Elizabeth and Louis for making us feel at home in your very nice apartment. The week in NYC was as exciting as we had hoped and staying in your place certainly made it even better. If we should ever head back to New York again we will make sure to check in with you again. Best, Petra, Jochen, Fyn & Noemi For less money than most shoebox-sized hotel rooms in the city, my husband and I were able to live comfortably for a week without tripping over each other, cook when we didn't want takeout, and work on our laptops with the free WiFi. The subway's very close so we were able to move through the city easily. At the end of our daily adventures we were able to choose from more free cable TV channels than any hotel I've been in. The owners Elizabeth and Louis are more than generous with their hospitality and the bedroom faces the back garden, so NO street noise to bother our rest! I hope to stay again when it's warmer, so we can enjoy the garden space, and go rent a bike in Central Park. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thank you Louis and Elizabeth- We had such a lovely time staying in your bottom level apartment. You were so helpful with information about NYC both before our arrival and during. The apartment itself was decorated so well and was always warm and cosy. It was great to take a bath and to have a kitchen... Thank you for the fresh juice and the croissants, they were delicious. It's about a 22 min ride to downtown and it has a great coffee shop (savoy) around the corner on 110th st. Central Park was also just a short walk away and was stunning in the winter. NYC is an amazing place and we enjoyed every minute of being in the city and in the apartment on 112th st. Thank you for a great stay. Em and Grant :) La gentillesse de nos hotes, leur acceuil, permet un séjour magnifique à New York . L'appartement est idealement situé, a coté du parc, des musées, et de la ligne de métro. Plein d'épiceries pour faire ses courses. l' appartement est complet, on y vis tres bien. bref une excellente adresse à un prix tres interessant. Merci Elisabeth pour ce séjour et à bientot, nous reviendrons au printemps !! Descubrimos este maravilloso apartamento por medio de internet, y hemos pasado dos semanas perfectas en Nueva York. El metro esta a solo dos manzanas y la zona es totalmente segura y tranquila. En el apartamento se encuentra todo lo necesario. La conexion internet esta tambien incluida y funciona perfectamente. Elisabeth y Louis os podran dar consejos practicos para descubrir NY !! Esther & Raimondo We had a wonderful stay in New York. Elizabeth was really helpful both in the run up to the holiday and during our stay. Any questions about New York, the accommodation - anything, she would reply promptly. On arrival we were welcomed and shown around. We were then left alone - throughout the stay we were given privacy but if we needed anything at all both Elizabeth and her husband were at hand to help. The apartment is very nice - modern decor and a very comfortable bed! Everywhere within Manhattan is only a short ride away with the subway being so close. All in all we would definitely recommend the apartment and will be staying there in any future visits!! Thanks for a great place and all your help! Hi if you are looking for the new york experiance this is it . Cute; Roomy; clean ;centraly located a few minutes from everything . bed comfortable; kitchen roomy ; seating area perfect to have company and a yard to enjoy it was nice to sit under the patio and enjoy the light rain fall outside our first day . The cab ride from LGA was only $25 inc tip and cheaper going to the airport you ride one train (#6)straight to central station about five minutes away and another couple minutes walking or train to ground zero or a boat ride or tour everything was so close we went to the Bronk Zoo a must see and the three hour boat ride around the island .Every one we talked to were very helpfull with directions and even at 3 in the morning we felt safe every body was polite i was very surprised . I had to travel by a certain date and was surprised by the cost of staying at a nice hotel ; found this place by accident hunting on the web, as i been told there are no accidents i feel very blessed When we arrived at the apartment after a long flight from the UK, it was so nice to receive a warm welcome from Elizabeth and her little daughter. We immediately felt at ease in our new environment and really helped us settle in. Elizabeth had some great tips of places to visit and eat and even brought us some juice and croissants on our first morning which was a lovely touch. The apartment was sunny and homely and all the living space was nicely presented. The apartment was a little out of town but the subway was close by and was cheap and easy to use so we got to see all the sights. I would highly recommend this apartment for if you want to stay out of the main streets in Manhattan and get a different experience of New York. If I were to come to beautiful New York again I would certainly consider staying here again. Thanks Elizabeth and family for making our stay so great and converting us to a love of New York too! We absolutely loved our stay at this apartment! We felt so comfortable and at home, and in an hotel you cant here birds waking you up in the morning!!. We loved the welcome basket mmmhh mjam mjam..... Getting downtown was easy too, the subway is only 2 blocks away. We loved our hosts and their kids. We will stay at this apartment next year(s) again :o) Everything was fantastic since i was wellcomed by Elizabeth and Louis,two fantastic people...there were croissants, butter, juice and jelly as i just came to the house...the house is wonderful...everything clean,with free wireless...they know everything about NYC and i definitely recommend this house to someone who wants a great house, with wonderful hosts.Furthermore,the location is great..."El Barrio" is fantastic,lots of typical restaurants and all quite cheap and good. I absolutely loved my stay at this garden apartment! I felt so comfortable and at home and love the decor. It was so bright and cheerful and cosmopolitan. Oh, and the welcome basket was such a lovely surprise! It was just so nice to walk in those doors after travelling all day, and have a variety of fresh croissants and danishes to snack on. The chocolate one was my favorite. Talking of food, I was really impressed with some of the restaurants in the neighorhood. Delicious food, great music and friendly service. Getting around was pretty easy too. The subway was literally 2 blocks away and the bus was down the block. And the best part of my stay was the host's wonderful hospitality. She was so helpful, and knew so much about this city, like what to do and where to go. I felt like a true New Yorker following her advice! I will stay at this apartment everytime I come to the city!!

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you very much for a very nice stay in New York. Both Stina and I enjoyed it fully in spite of the missing luggage.

We are both very convinced that we will be going to New York again in the future and will certainly choose to stay with you again.

I have also taken the liberty of giving this e-mail adress to a colleague of mine going to New York later in the year, so she might contact you in regards to availabillity and rates.

Once again thank you very much for a very pleasant stay.

All the best
Lars
