Stylish, Inviting Garden Brownstone Studio, Close to Subway!

Beautifully designed and furnished garden-level studio apartment with its own private, plant-filled entrance. Located in an owner-occupied, classic Harlem brownstone on a quiet, tree-lined block. Our neighborhood is very safe and friendly and conveniently located near eastside (4/5/6) and westside (2/3) subways, as well as the Metro North railroad on 125th street and many bus lines. We are also walking distance from all of the amazing restaurants, bars and cultural attractions of Harlem.

For those coming to NYC for nursing or other related medical contracts, we are located near several hospitals, such as Harlem, Metropolitan, Columbia-Presbyterian, Lincoln, and Lenox Hill. For visiting students and educators, we are also conveniently located near Columbia University's multiple campuses, with easy access to many other local university centers and colleges.

A large studio that comfortably sleeps up to 4 people, you will find that we offer everything you need to make your stay in NYC perfect. A full-sized kitchen, well-stocked with pots & pans, appliances (refrigerator, oven/stove, microwave, blender, coffee maker, tea pot), dishes & cutlery. There is a tall counter with stools and a table that seats up to 4 people for your dining or work-related needs.

A combination washer/dryer unit in the bathroom with complimentary laundry detergent & dryer sheets will mean that you never run out of clean clothes while you are here. The apartment also comes with free wifi as well as a ductless, user-controlled heat and air conditioning unit so that you can set the temperature that you desire.

The living room area consists of a couch with chaise that converts to a full-sized bed, a comfortable chair, small side tables, a dresser for your belongings, and a 48-inch Samsung Smart LED flat screen TV. 200+ cable channels, including Showtime and Netflix. A queen-sized Stearns & Foster bed with high-end linens is separated from the living area by a floor-to-ceiling curtain for privacy. We also offer a twin-sized Aero double high air mattress and a Pack n Play for small children, upon request.

There are 2 full-sized closets with hangers for your clothes and room to store your suitcases. The bathroom has a combination shower/bathtub, fluffy towels, 2 robes, a hairdryer and a full-sized mirror just outside the door so you can make sure that you're ready to go out on the town!

As frequent travelers who regularly use vacation rentals around the world, we have designed this apartment with our own experiences & expectations in mind. We offer an inviting and stylish space that provides all the comforts of home so that you don't have to overpack or overspend! You will find that the apartment is tastefully painted and designed with the comfort of all guests in mind: singles, couples, friends or families. Our goal is for you to have a peaceful oasis to return to after your daily adventures in our exciting city. Our love of Harlem is reflected in the local art and related books that decorate the apartment, as this is a neighborhood rich in culture, past and present. We have put together a detailed book of insider information about all of the local spots for you, and we are more than happy to answer any questions that you might have about Harlem in particular or NYC overall.

Great Harlem Home!
I was in NY for a 5-week graduate school program, and feel fortunate to have this wonderful place to make my temporary home for the summer. The studio is unusually spacious and comfortable, and easily accessible to Harlem attractions and other parts of the city. The hosts are thoughtful and helpful; overall a great experience. I’d definitely stay here again next time I’m in New York!

situation géographique
L'appartement est situé à moins de 10 minutes à pied des stations de métro de la 125ème à l'est par la 4/5/6 et à l'ouest par la 2/3. Il est très fonctionnel et décoré avec goût. Tout l'équipement nécessaire à un voyage est disponible. Idéal pour une famille de 4 personnes.

Excellent property in New York City
This rental was superb. Jennifer thought of everything you might need, and it's in the apartment for you. There's a drawer filled with maps and NYC reference materials. Explicit instructions were left regarding local shops and restaurants. It's a 10 minute walk to the 2/3 trains, running down the west side, and a 15 minute walk to the 4/5/6 trains running down the east side. You have complete privacy in your unit, and we felt like we were coming home every evening. It was very quiet most of the time, which was surprisingly to us. You have your own ac/heating unit, so you can control the temperature. You do hear some footsteps from above, but wasn't an issue. The kitchen was well appointed, no dishwasher but everything else you could think of was there. There are even umbrellas for rainy days, and the washer/dryer combo in the unit was a great convenience. We felt completely safe and loved exploring Harlem and the rest of the city. Download a transit app (we used My Transit NYC) so you can easily see how to get where you want to go, and purchase an unlimited metrocard for the length of your stay. Uber was also quick and easy. We couldn't have been happier with this property and highly recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer and Ken

Host profile image
We are avid travelers who love NYC. Ken has lived here all of his life and Jen came here for college and never left. We regularly take advantage of all that our fabulous city of New York offers, and we look forward to sharing our recommendations with you!

Why they chose this property

We love living in Harlem. The people are friendly and interesting, the architecture is beautiful, you can go out and catch great music every night of the week, and the food is fantastic! We are close to several subway lines and can get to any other part of the city with ease. We think you will also love the experience of living in our neighborhood, as it will allow you to see how much more there is to NYC than just the tourist attractions. Harlem is a vibrant community that we are sure you will thoroughly enjoy.

What makes this property unique

You can feel the history that lives in the brownstones throughout the neighborhood. We love coming home to our classic building with its "Sesame Street" stoop and the garden we've planted in front of the rental studio. People say hello to each other and it often feels more like a small town-- our block also features a beautiful community garden (Harlem Rose Garden) that you are welcome to enjoy!
