About this apartment rental

Live like a New Yorker, steps away from the subway with all modern amenities. Like having your own home in New York, fully private and with a separate entrance. You’ll have a large bedroom, living room with convertible couch, fully equipped dine-in kitchen, and bath, on the 6th floor of a prewar elevator building with doorman.

In the immediate neighborhood you’ll find dozens of restaurants and cafes, the 24/7 West Side Market right on the corner, and the quiet sanctuary of the nearby Cathedral gardens and their strolling peacocks. You’ll be a five minute walk from Columbia University and Riverside Park, and a ten minute walk from Central Park. With two subway lines and five bus lines at your doorstep, this is an ideal home base for exploring New York City—and a luxurious refuge.

You’ll enjoy the beautiful features of a prewar New York apartment—high ceilings, thick walls, plaster and tile ornamentation—with newly updated amenities. All rooms are flooded with natural light, and have ceiling fans and air conditioning. A corridor connects the rooms, allowing for space and privacy. Wifi and TVs provided, air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout.

The spacious bedroom, with double exposures, is fully furnished with a brand-new queen bed and pillow-top mattress, Cable/Roku TV, writing desk, and ample storage in closet and bureau.

The windowed living room down the corridor includes a comfortable sectional couch and a Cable TV. The couch converts to a queen bed, and we offer a mattress topper for those who prefer a softer sleep.

The windowed kitchen includes all brand new appliances including dishwasher, microwave, electric cooktop, and table-top oven. A dining table comfortably seats four. You’ll find plenty of cookware and dishes, an electric kettle, teapot and French press, along with an iron and ironing board in the pantry.

The bathroom has a huge soaking bathtub and shower, a beautiful marble vanity with antique base, honeycomb tiling, and plenty of storage space.

We supply toiletries, high grade linens for the bed and bath, duvets and pillows. Terry cloth robes too.

Public transportation: With the #1 subway line steps away and the B/C subway a short walk away, the City that Never Sleeps is at your doorstep all day and night. You’ll be at Lincoln Center in 15 minutes, Times Square in 20 minutes, and downtown Brooklyn in 40 minutes. The M4 bus on the corner takes you to Metropolitan Museum of Art and the other museums on Fifth Avenue’s Museum Mile in half an hour (or you can take a leisurely walk through Central Park). Other bus lines nearby include the M104 “Broadway Bus” for exploring the Upper West Side, and the M60 bus to LaGuardia Airport.

New York City prohibits short term rentals of most apartments. You will be staying as our guests in fully private, separate entrance space within our apartment. We cannot accept more than two guests.

My parents recently stayed at this wonderful property for a full month, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment they arrived, Ian and Deborah were incredible hosts—warm, gracious, and genuinely thoughtful. They went above and beyond to ensure my parents were comfortable throughout their stay.We live just a block away, and thanks to the hosts’ kindness and flexibility, my parents were able to see us—and especially their grandchild—every single day. It was such a gift to have them close by but with their own peaceful space.The apartment was perfect: spacious, quiet, and beautifully set up with its own kitchen, bedroom, and living room. Since my parents prefer home-cooked meals, having a kitchen was essential—and they found it incredibly easy to settle into a daily routine. The weekly cleaning services were a fantastic bonus that helped keep everything fresh and worry-free.Ian and Deborah also allowed an early check-in and a late checkout, which made moving in and out seamless and stress-free.If you are looking for a comfortable, spotless, and well-equipped home with truly exceptional hosts, this is it. Highly, highly recommend.

This lovely apartment met our needs for a 5 week summer stay in the Columbia University area. The hosts were welcoming and always helpful. The rooms and furnishings were pleasant and comfortable. There are lots of good books to read if you have the time. The kitchen is adequate but the range has only 2 small burners and there is no full oven but there is a toaster oven. The laundry in the basement is clean and convenient. Three room air conditioners provided adequate cooling on very hot summer days. The bathroom was fine but if you have physical limitations, it might be a challenge to get in and out of the shower tub, which is slightly elevated. The neighborhood is safe and the other residents of the building are fine. Overall, it was a good fit for us.

Ian and Deborah were accessible and offered their help if needed. The apartment was just like photos only better. Felt like home, extremely comfortable. The location is terrific--close to subway and bus lines, close to restaurants, close to markets and retail shopping. Nice neighborhood with lots to visit. Will love to return next year.
