Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 1994

I am an expat from Rome Italy. I live in NY since 30 years now and I love it! As an artist/decorative painter I use to live in a 3000 sqf. loft downtown Manhattan in Soho. Il 1990 Soho started to become more than an artist community a Real Estate heaven for yuppies and to commercialized for my taste. It wasn't for me anymore and I started looking for a more "tranquil" place to live.

Since the value of the Loft went up 100% I envisioned to by a Brownstone and found the perfect one for my needs on the Upper West Side. This one was ideal for me 7 apt, just enough that I could manege by myself. Although I lost alot of my workig space as a painter,I ganed tranquillity, a wonderfull Central Park to go do sketches/pastels and watercolor and a real nice residencial neighborow, a few blocks from the all the greatest marketing/restaurants/entratainment that a metropolis like New York can offer.

The Unique Benefits of this Townhouse Apartment

Is one of the best location in New York to live in a quite/residential neighborow with the best near by stores/restaurants/entratainment.
Plus has an easy access with public transportation all over Manhattan.

    • Sixty in the city!! Three friends(of 40 years)celebrated our 60th birthdays in New York. We loved the apartment, it was quite spacious by New York standards. The patio was an added bonus where we enjoyed our coffee each morning. Livia's neighborhood restaurant suggestions were excellent. The location was perfect, only one block from the park, close to the subway and very safe. The apartment was spotlessly clean, there were plenty of towels and hot water We will return!!!

    • I've stayed at many places found on VRBO and this apartment is by far the best. It's shockingly ROOMY and in a fantastic location on the UWS. I've stayed there twice now, once with a group of girlfriends, and once with my extended family, including my 6 year-old daughter. The rooms are LARGE (the pictures don't lie), the kitchen is well- stocked, there is a ton of closet space, lots of room to stretch your legs, and TWO bathrooms. Most importantly, it's quiet, easy, and the back garden is absolutely delightful. The neighborhood is leafy, the subway super-close (a block and a half), and the owner Livia is very helpful and accommodating. I plan to go back again and again!

    • Stayed here with 3 women friends for 5 days. Loved the location. The neighborhood has everything: restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, drugstore right around the corner, cleaners and liquor store. We used the city bus and subway and they were so convenient. We could also just walk to the corner and hail a cab on Columbus. The location was quiet and both the apartment and the neighborhood felt safe and secure. The little park with community garden in the next block over was a nice place to sit. The private patio with the apartment was lovely - we ate breakfast at the table every morning and enjoyed the birds singing and the sunshine. We never ran out of hot water even when all four of us showered, one right after the other, each morning. It was nice to have access to a washer/dryer even though the basement was a bit scary. The futon at the end of the diningroom was comfortable and since there were bars on the windows and the backyard is surrounded by a high wall, I felt safe leaving the windows up for fresh air at night. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay and I would definitely stay there again and will recommend it to friends.

    • My wife, two sons and I spent a week in Manhattan on our spring break. This apartment was perfect for us. You can't beat the location (blocks to Natural History Museum, 1/2 block to Central Park...). Although we didn't spend a lot of time in the apartment, it was great to come home to a small kitchen and a couple of rooms to stretch out in before bed. If you are looking for an upscale apartment with a lot of high end amenities, this isn't a good choice. If, however, you are looking for a nice, affordable alternative to a hotel room, in an unbeatable location, this will fit the bill.

    • Great location, near bustling Broadway, Central Park, museums, and lots of restaurants. Considering this unit is in a 90 year old brownstone, I was amazed how modern the accommodations were. Things are a bit funky, but that is expected in New York. Being off the street, rear ground floor, having 2-levels, makes it quiet, yet bright. Livia, the owner, was quite helpful and easy to deal with. A great choice for 3 people.

    • This apartment was perfect for us! My husband and I took the lower level (where it was quiet at night) and the two teenagers took over the upper floor, slept on the futon and had the television to themselves. We used the smaller second bedroom for storing our luggage. The garden area was lovely, but we were always on the go so didn’t take advantage of the table and chairs that beckoned. The small kitchen served our needs – we did cereal and fruit in the morning and there was even a small dishwasher to clean the few dishes we used. The subway stations were close by and Livia had several tourist books on NYC available that were helpful. Her neighborhood restaurant recommendations were great. Livia is around if you need her and you feel you have a new friend when you meet her! If you’re going to visit the Empire State building at night, we found a wonderful French bistro within blocks of the building ~~ Serge ~~ located at 165 Madison Ave. – phone 212-679-8977. Their website is: brasseriecafecreme(dot)com It was wonderful to visit NYC and not have to stay in a small, crowded hotel room!

    • We (two couples) stayed in this apartment for one week in July 2008. Everything worked - air conditioning, kitchen, bathrooms, & shower. Although there is a second, small bedroom with a twin bed in the lower level, we slept on a futon in an extension of the dining room on the main floor. It was a fairly comfortable bed but not private. The location is convenient to Central Park, the subway, some good restaurants and a grocery store. We enjoyed having breakfast every morning in the garden back of the apartment. It was a comfortable, homelike atmosphere and Livia, the apartment owner, was very helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

    • Our family of 4 stayed in this appartment the first week of May 2008. The appartment is small but practical en tastfully decorated. The small garden has a few hours of sun in the morning and is ideal for enjoying breakfast. Location is good: near the 86th Street and Central Park West subwaystation , the 86th Street bus and, further to the West side the Broadway and 86th subway station. Nice and quiet neighbourhood of tree-lined streets and classical (browstone)houses. Enough shops for groceries and fresh fruit available on the corners of the Streets and Columbus Avenue. I would like to recommend this affordable appartment.

    • We also really enjoyed our stay, although it was for only four nights. We were in NY because our son's high school band played at Carnegie Hall and a few other locations and it was very nice to return to the apartment in the evening after a busy day of concerts and sight seeing. The neighborhood is quiet and yet very close to restaurants and grocery stores and small boutiques. It's also less than a block to central park where my eleven year old enjoyed playing on park equipment. Both the metropolitan museum of art and the natural history museum are within a mile walk. And the apartment was more than enough room for five people because in addition to the two bedrooms there is a full sized futon in a space off of the dining area.
