Spacious Manhattan Studio Apartment with Sunny Garden

On a peaceful, tree-lined New York City street, this spacious, fully furnished studio apartment (with its own separate entrance) overlooks a sunny private garden. The prime Manhattan location--along with the fully-equipped kitchen, living and dining area, sleeping areas, full bathroom, and private washer/dryer--will provide all the comfort and convenience you need. You'll find granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher), bamboo floors, and a queen bed (or two twins--your choice, with two separate sleeping areas).

Handsome brick houses with wrought-iron gates enclosing front yards with gardens and wooden front porches stand along this historic Harlem street. Nearby express subways speed you to the Upper West Side, the East Side, the theater district, midtown, Greenwich Village, Soho, and anywhere else in Manhattan and beyond. A wide choice of city buses and the Metro North train station offer other convenient transportation options.

Just around the corner, along Lenox Avenue, vendors sell fresh fruit and hand-crafted jewelry outside cafes, coffee shops, and grocery stores (including Whole Foods). Restaurants serve everything from soul food and salads to French, Swedish, Senegalese, Chinese, and Latin American cuisine. When you're in the mood for live music, walk to a local night club for jazz, R&B, or pop or to a neighborhood church to hear a gospel choir.

World-renowned 125th Street, a short stroll away, offers an array of fitness centers, clothing and shoe outlets, cosmetics boutiques, and pharmacies. Notable museums and the famed Apollo Theater are also within walking distance, along with lush Marcus Garvey Park (home to a little-known public swimming pool).

A 10-minute power-walk or a 20-minute amble down scenic Fifth Avenue, with its stately historic architecture, will take you to sprawling Central Park. Waterfowl and turtles thrive at Harlem Meer, a lake where catch-and-release fishing is popular. Nearby Lasker swimming pool converts to an ice skating rink in the winter. The Discovery Center run by the Central Park Conservancy hosts special exhibits and music festivals.
