Why is renting our apartment different from most other short-term rentals in NYC

1. We live on the property. While the apartment is a separate unit with a private entrance, we live upstairs. If you have any questions, concerns or issues, we can address it right away and most of the time, in person.

2. We provide all of our guests with an information binder with valuable neighborhood and NYC information and we are also readily available to help with any questions.

3. We love to travel and stay in vacation rental apartments ourselves and know what is important to our guests. We professionally clean our apartment between guests and make sure everything possible is provided for our guests comfort.

We hope you will enjoy our city and apartment!

The apartment is exactly as described. Clean, nice furniture and decoration and a kitchen you can easily and perfectly use for all your cooking ideas. Sandy and Michael are perfect hosts, always instantly available. They not only showed how willing they are to help for all needs with the property but even for a few private things we had to solve. No need to worry at all about location being in Harlem. The neighborhood is bustling and lively but even if you return late as we did on a lot of evenings we always felt safe. The subway is just 2 blocks away. Good laundromats 2 blocks away with full drop off pick up service for just a few dollars. We had a perfect month thanks to this property and their owners.

My wife and I stayed 30 days in Michael and Sandy's apartment during October/November 2023. The unit was well-maintained and secure, and the hosts were very helpful and responsive. No problems at all, good advice if we asked, and wonderful proximity to retail and subway lines 2 and 3. We have stayed in the area before and enjoy it enough to keep returning. Having responsive hosts makes the decision easier and Michael and Sandy are as helpful as we can imagine. Thanks! CND

We quickly settled in to Michael and Sandi's very comfortable apartment. It has everything we needed. Importantly it was the perfect location from where public transport conveniently took us all over the city. Our hosts were easily contacted when we needed information too. So we are very happy to recommend this spacious accommodation.

Wonderful first floor unit with all the conveniences. Clean, quiet, and close to subway. Lively neighborhood. Lots of eateries and convenient to groceries. Sandy and Michael are super hosts. Attentive and friendly. Amid all the attractions and history of Harlem, and close to TImes Square. We loved it and would definitely come back.

Wonderful Hosts and Perfect Stay!
Wonderful Hosts and Perfect Stay!
Michael and Sandy are the kindest and friendliest hosts. They were very welcoming during the check-in process and throughout my entire stay. Being new to the city, their advice and tips on how to navigate the city were invaluable. Both were also readily available to answer any questions I had about the apartment and the neighborhood. They have put in a lot of thought to making sure every guest has a comfortable stay. I stayed at this apartment 3 months and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The apartment was extremely clean and spacious, with tons of storage space. The kitchen had all of the essentials plus more. (Plenty of food options available within walking distance if cooking is not your thing!). There is a Whole Foods and CVS within walking distance to pick up anything else. The bedroom is located in the back of the apartment and extremely quiet. Traveling to other parts of the city from the apartment was no issue since the subway station and many public buses are located within a very short walk (less than 2 minutes). The location of this place is extremely convenient. I would 100% recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a place to stay in New York City. Michael and Sandy: Thank you again. I look forward to my next stay!

Michael and Sandy were very helpful during my stay in New York. They were always there to answer questions and give recommendations. I stayed for 2 months and felt at home upon arrival. Being a female from the mid west I felt very safe and everything was within walking distance. The apartment was very clean and cozy. I loved my stay and would definitely come back. I highly recommend this apartment! You couldn't ask for a better host during your NYC stay.

Wonderful hosts

Mike and Sandy really were perfect hosts. My fiancé and I were in for a month long stay. We were greeted with a nice bottle of wine and a quick tour. The apartment was clean, spacious and as pictured. They provided a helpful welcome binder and plenty of literature on the local scene. The bed was comfortable. The apartment was stocked with all the start-off essentials plus some (clean linens, toiletries, cupboard items, etc.). Mike and Sandy live right above and were immediately responsive when needed, but were in no way whatsoever intrusive of our space. Highly recommend, and would certainly stay again.
