Book With Us Today & You’ll Be Set Up to Take Full Advantage of This Historic Home & It's Fantastic Location! See a recent review from another site: “Absolute BEST place to stay with your group- can't recommend enough!” Reviewed in March 2018 Stayed with a group of 7 people for 4 days, lost one day to the snow storm and we were offered another night no questions asked. Besides the obviously wonderful location of this apartment, there are SO many things to rave about: -Great rate for a group of people 5-10 (probably too big for any smaller groups) -Very clean and well kept, they have some SERIOUSLY comfy beds. -Endless clean and HOT water (6 people showered and it was still hot!) -GORGEOUS PRIVATE GARDEN- owner has clearly worked hard to preserve it, love the string lights -We had a problem with our key/lock and the owners fixed it IMMEDIATELY without us even bugging them *And perhaps most importantly are the owners of this home- absolutely wonderful, friendly people who are sincerely invested in preserving this home while inviting strangers from all over the world to enjoy it. My group was immediately welcomed in the home, served champagne and food, and given a run-down for all the best local spots. After a hectic day of traveling, it was a dream come true. I can't imagine coming to NYC again without staying here....I think this apartment is my happy place. Guest access If the apartment is completely booked by your party, then you’ll have complete privacy of the main apartment (1 bedroom) and the duplex suite (2 bedrooms.) The living area is set for entertainment, the garden patio is beautiful, and the kitchen is filled with all that you’ll need to make a home cooked dinner, lunch, and breakfast.

They then have complete privacy unless they would like more information or help, which I am happy to give. My husband and I live in an apartment upstairs, which is completely private from yours. Other things to note This is a LEGAL apartment and there is 5.875% tax and $2 a night bed tax required in cash on arrival. It is quite Risky to rent an illegal apartment because the attorney general is shutting them down. The New York State Multiple Dwelling Law prohibits short-term rentals of property in Class A multiple dwellings used for permanent residence purposes (which Includes most apartment buildings but not single and two-family buildings) unless a permanent occupant of the apartment is present during the stay, no money is exchanged, or if the stay is longer than thirty consecutive days. This listing consists of a 1-bedroom main apartment with an en suite bathroom and an adjacent 2-room duplex suite. There is a private flight of stairs within the duplex adjoining the downstairs room with the upstairs room. There is a half bathroom en suite to the upstairs bedroom.

The main apartment (1 bedroom) plus the suite (2 additional bedrooms) have enough beds/fold out beds and seating for 10 guests. This will be a cost saving over 3 or 4 hotel rooms but you should keep in mind that some of the group will be sleeping in the living room and and it will be a trade off with being private.
