This historic, 1890’s brownstone is just five blocks straight East from the Metropolitan Art Museum and Central Park. It is very centrally located to transportation, museums, shops and cafes. It is a very charming block with mostly row-houses. If you ever saw the movie "You've Got Mail" with Meg Ryan...this is about as close as it gets.

It recently underwent a mulit-million dollar renovation and now houses three apartments (two are short-term) and one is the owner’s duplex. The rental apartment is only used for short-term stays and both units are furnished identical and have the same floor plan. One unit is the 2nd floor and the other unit is the 3rd floor.

The apartment has the feel of a high end hotel suite comparable to a Marriott. The furnishings are attractive and comfortable. The bedding is 1st quality, including pillow top mattresses, down comforters, down pillows, and Egyptian cotton sheets. The apartment has one bedroom with a king bed, two bedrooms with a queen bed and one bedroom with a full bed.

Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2001

We are a couple with three kids. Both orginally both from Utah, met met here in New York on a blind date. That was 15 years ago. I graduated from Columbia University and worked at a large consulting firm. Now I run the rental units and enjoy staying home with my children.
Bill works in business development for a software company.

Why the Owner Chose Upper East Side

Prior to buying our building, we lived in four neighborhoods with in NYC. There is a reason why most long term residents of NYC eventually migrate to the Upper East Side. It is similar to Hyde Park in London. The Upper East Side is consistently manicured with clean sidewalks, flower boxes and splendid street cafes and boutique shops. In fact, it is such a nice neighborhood we send our kids to the public elementary school.
The real draw for the Upper East Side is Central Park. We are located a five minute walk to some on the prettiest areas of the park. Don't take just our word about the location.... Madona just bought a $40 million house four blocks away.

The Unique Benefits of this Apartment

This will be a completely different experience than staying at a midtown hotel. While only a five minute cab or subway from Grand Central Station, this location is far less bohemian and noisy. You will hear birds out the window, see squirrels in the trees and have people greet you as you walk down the street. The city gets overwhelming if you are running around seeing tourist sites. Our guests all comment how nice it is to come back to a peaceful setting. I guarantee after three days you will consider yourself a New Yorker.

    • We stayed here April 8 - 13, 2008. There were 4 of us and the layout and 3 bathrooms were so nice to have. Very clean. Great beds, bedding and towels. It had everything we needed...even umbrellas! Great neighborhood with lots of restaurants, shopping and food stores nearby. The subway was about a 10 minute walk. We even walked home at midnight and felt safe. We just wish we had more time to spend exploring "our neghborhood," but maybe next time. We would definitely consider staying here again!

    • A pretty, spacious apartment in a pleasant neighbourhood. Very convenient proximity to groceries, drugstore, restaurants etc., but a quiet street for Manhattan.

    • We had a terrific time in New York and found the apartment very agreeable to our needs. I would have no complaints but only one suggestion. Our party comprised of my wife and myself, two daughters and my middle-aged brother. My brother slept on the bed-settee in the second reception room. For any other family using a similar arrangement it would be a good idea for the privacy of everyone to have some sort of curtains on the glass doors between the recepion rooms. I would have no hesitation in using your organisation again.

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks for the suggestion. We will make sure to add some curtains for our future guests
