This apartment is the entire floor of a newly renovated townhouse located in the heart of the Upper East Side (East 82nd and Second Avenue). 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 luxurious hotel suite comparable to a four star hotel. 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. (please keep in mind that the second bedroom is accessed through the master bedroom.)
The living room has a 32 inch plasma screen tv as well as a large tv in the master bedroom. Both tv's have full cable with HBO. The apartment has a secured wireless internet for access with your personal computer. The apartment has central air conditioning.
There is a new and well stocked kitchen in addition to a washer and dryer inside the apartment. We are very family friendly and children are always welcome. We keep a portable crib and high chair in each apartment along with a basket of toys. We can NOT accommodate pets and NO smoking in the apartment. There is a fair amount of street parking for cars and a reasonable priced garage on the block. There are several gourmet food markets in the area and even a full sized grocery store just around the corner.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
We are a young couple with three kids. Originally both from Utah, We have lived in the city for 15 years. I graduated from Columbia University and used to work for in management consulting. Now I run the rental units and enjoy staying home with my children. My husband works in business development for a software company here in the city.
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 oldest son 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.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
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.

date entered: 05/13/2008 homeowner-added comment: 04/14/08 Positive 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! Amy , Laguna Niguel, CA 03/16/08 Positive A pretty, spacious apartment in a pleasant neighbourhood. Very convenient proximity to groceries, drugstore, restaurants etc., but a quiet street for Manhattan. Alexandra MacLean, Ottawa, Ontario 01/04/08 Positive 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. Andrew Martin, Bangor, Co. Down, NI 028 91 457509 Homeowner Response: We have added curtains and modified the layout since this comment. 05/24/07 Positive great location, wonderful beds, lots of space, street closed during the day, nicely appointed with all that we could possibly need, good communication, wireless a plus as are the 2 televisions, dishwasher great, air conditioning wonderful, information on the refer was very helpful and money saving. Anonymous 05/21/07 Positive Nice, spacious (for Manhattan), newly renovated apartment in great neighborhood - close to Central Park and Met/Guggenheim plus Madison Avenue shopping, but away from touristy midtown.
