About this house rental
Location: South Street Seaport, Manhattan, New York City, USA (access to 9 major subway lines is two blocks away, in the multi-destination Fulton St. Subway hub.)
Accommodations. The top 2 floors of an historic landmark building in one of the most beautiful historic neighborhoods in New York City. Sparely furnished. 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a large, light-filled kitchen, spacious dining and living room areas, a private terrace, Sleeps 4-5. 5 day minimum. Internet, Cable t.v.,air conditioning, washer/dryer, iron
Located on historic Front St, on a charming cobblestone street with views of the Brooklyn Bridge, this elegant, light-filled loft is on a stylish residential block of bustling cafes and cozy neighborhood restaurants. The street is lively in the day and evening-- and blissfully quiet late at night. And it is wonderfully central. The neighborhood is only a short walk to the chic restaurants and bars of Tribeca, the boutiques and small designer shops of Soho, as well as to Chinatown, Little Italy, Noho and the bohemian haunts of the East and West Village. It is also only a few subway stops from the hip, up-and-coming neighborhoods of Brooklyn. And just one block from the spectacular new food mecca, the tin building by Jean-George, a French emporium with 53,000 sq. ft. of beautifully curated food, flowers, drink, raw bar, and earthy delights in an historic building on the East River. Other neighborhood highlights include a vibrant selection of local restaurants, The Cipriani South Street, small batch Van Leeuwen ice cream parlor and Peck Slip Plaza, a two- block natural landscaped street park.
We are two short blocks from the multi-destination Fulton subway station hub, and only steps away from Seaport shopping, the beautifully designed new Pier 15 for observation and concerts, The East River Esplanade for jogging and sauntering, the World Trade Center Memorial Site (and not far from Battery Park--a 15 minute walk--and ferries to the State of Liberty and Brooklyn.)
Bikes can be rented a block away, where one can amble along the riverfront toward Battery Park, enjoying some of the cities most spectacular views, and then up the newly renovated Hudson River Park all the way to the upper end of Manhattan, or head in the other direction and ride across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Our neighborhood is an easy and safe location to get to and from, whether it's to New York’s museums or to Lincoln Center and the Broadway theaters, (just four subway stops away) or to Central Park.
The loft itself occupies the top two floors of a lovely, converted 19th century brick counting house, combining the bohemian feel of a loft (2400 sq. feet) with the privacy and understated luxury of a townhouse. It has two+ bedrooms, two full baths, a spacious kitchen fitted out with high-end appliances, (including a nespresso machine and a new Bosch cooktop) and a private terrace off the kitchen. There is a dishwasher, washer/dryer, A/C, cable TV, a DVD player and wi-fi internet.
Both floors boast wood beamed ceilings and are light-filled and sparely furnished, with a mix of modern pieces and Danish antiques. The loft has an open plan, so the kitchen, dining and living rooms flow into each other. The top floor, which doubles as an artist’s studio, has a soaring cathedral ceiling with skylights and serves as a large and dramatic master bedroom. There is an elegant bathroom- cum- marble shower (with a rain shower) off of the master bedroom, as well as a second bedroom, which works well for children. The third bedroom is on the living floor below and adjoins the bathroom downstairs, which has a separate bath and shower. No elevator.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have established enhanced health and safety measures for our guests and our housekeeper. However, an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. We are taking extra measures to disinfect and provide a safe place to enjoy. If you wish, you can order groceries and take out meals from the many restaurants in our neighborhood, allowing you to settle in and relax the moment you arrive!
We look forward to welcoming you on your upcoming visit.

Unique historical loft with original features, tastefully decorated and well-located. Staying here is the New York experience from the past in a neighbourhood of the present. Hosts are wonderful and kind, the place is comfortable and clean, and the private terrace is a luxury.

This area of Manhattan is so beautiful, great for walking, running, sightseeing, and the restaurants and stores are wonderful. We walked to the Brooklyn Bridge, which you can see from the loft, the Statue of Liberty and ground zero are just a few blocks away. Walked to little Italy and TriBeCa and enjoyed the most amazing dinners, although our favorite restaurant was right across the street. We met Sarah Jessica Parker at SJP, her boutique two blocks away, and like all of the New Yorkers we met on this trip she was kind and attentive. Everyone takes covid very seriously, and NYC has found a way to navigate this time beautifully, will safe measures apparent everywhere. We enjoyed the new extensive outdoor dining in the city.
We can’t say enough about the loft! It is spacious and full of character. The terrace was wonderful for late night dinners in and the kitchen very well equipped. Down filled sofas and hand hooked rugs, antiques and the beautiful art work of Kit’s made it hard to leave. Andrea and Kit are gracious and thoughtful hosts, we hope to come back again and again.

Couldn’t quite believe we were in Manhattan - the loft is a time travel machine - creaky floors and all! We loved every bit of it - and I hate climbing stairs. It was warm and cozy and different and so much fun! Our family of four had a lovely time in the loft - it was spacious with enough room for everyone. We cooked one night and found the kitchen well equipped. Laundry on the 1st floor. We had a Great list of stores and restaurants that Andrea had recommended. The neighborhood is nice and quiet yet has everything you would need. Super clean. Nice and warm. Lovely stay.

Massive space compared to most manhattan rentals, stylish with all the facilities you need. Super responsive owners and excellent location under the Brooklyn bridge with transport links at Fulton street to get you almost anywhere quickly. Above coffee shops and restaurants so breakfast easy and local supermarket also very close. A spacious relaxing haven to contrast the bustling days in the city.

Really beautiful apartment, with lots of space and light. Andrea, the owner, was extremely helpful and accessible.

Sitting in Kit and Andrea's fantastic NYC loft was like being transported into a Woody Allen film. From the historic aspects of the building that were clearly lovingly maintained over the years, to Kit's well placed art work throughout the apartment, and the well-read books that lined the shelves - we truly felt at home and privileged to have the opportunity to stay in such a unique and interesting space.
The location is fantastic, and well we have typically stayed in Midtown when visiting NYC, the Seaport area is now our new favourite spot! It was happenstance that we stumbled across this loft as we needed a location that was within walking distance to the New York Film Academy for our two boys, who attended a week of summer camp. The loft proved to be the perfect location - it's proximity to Battery Park (where the camp is located) the Brooklyn Bridge, the Staten Island ferry, the half price ticket booth, the new iPic theatre (which our kids loved - we have something comparable in Canada, but children under 19 are not permitted), the ease of accessing the subway, and the abundance of amazing restaurants, made our vacation fantastic!
Thank you Kit & Andrea for sharing your home with us - looking forward to our next visit!
