Nestled in Harlem, this lovely house for $413 per night is a great option for your next vacation. This is a beautiful brownstone that we lovingly rebuilt as our family home (picture no roof, floors, plumbing or electric). It is MUCH larger than most homes in the city of New York. A generous, agreeable home in which to relax and enjoy all that NY has to offer. In a city where more than half the apartments are 700 square feet or less in size, with 2,800 square feet this is incomparably spacious (no one has to sleep in the living room) and comfortable and priced for affordability. We do have a strict no smoking policy and require quiet evening activities. The expansive first floor of the brownstone has soaring 12 ft ceilings, a gleaming fully equipped kitchen w/washer and dryer, a comfortable living room with large flat-screen television and a dining room with an extra wide table that seats 8 plus diners. There are four ample and pleasant bedrooms. On the third floor, one bedroom has a king sized bed, one cozy bedroom has a full/double bed and one bedroom has two full/double beds. The Main bedroom on the second floor has a queen bed and large en suite bathroom - soaking tub, heat lamp and separate toilet. The office has two couches that can fold out to full/double beds for more options. There is also a snug reading nook on the second floor with a single foldout. There are 2 full bathrooms and one half bathroom, one on each floor. All linens are provided for your stay. There is a lovely south facing perennial garden with lilacs, peonies, wysteria, hydrangea and more. Perfect for coffee in the am, an outdoor play space for children, or al fresco dinner at twilight. Wake to the twittering of birds in the middle of the city and forget where you are. Please, no smoking indoors and no loud parties. This is not a hotel but a private residence in a neighborhood with families. The cleaning fee is included. Our cleaning people are trained in disinfecting and practice thorough high-touch area protocol. It is easy to get everywhere. Subway/MTA - just 2 blocks from the 2/3, 5 blocks from the A/B/C/D - three stops from mid-town/Times Square - 10 to 18min. If you prefer, LYFT or UBER anywhere. SUPER easy to get to the house from the LGA airport via direct M60 bus or from JFK or EWR by subway and of course you can also take a taxi or shuttle Metro-North Commuter train - 125th Street station is five blocks away, 45 min to Connecticut.
