Why is renting our apartment different from most other short-term rentals in NYC
1. We live on the property. While the apartment is a separate unit with a private entrance, we live upstairs. If you have any questions, concerns or issues, we can address it right away and most of the time, in person.
2. We provide all of our guests with an information binder with valuable neighborhood and NYC information and we are also readily available to help with any questions.
3. We love to travel and stay in vacation rental apartments ourselves and know what is important to our guests. We professionally clean our apartment between guests and make sure everything possible is provided for our guests comfort.
We hope you will enjoy our city and apartment!

I am grateful for all the help given to me by my outstanding hosts. Any enquiry was swiftly answered. The apartment is set up to accommodate a visitor's needs and to be comfortable. The A/C was a godsend in the heatwave conditions. I loved the vibrant & very friendly neighbourhood. Transport, restaurants & grocery necessities are close by. A most enjoyable 5 week stay.Thank you, Sandy abd Michael.

This was our second year at Michael and Sandy's apartment and it again met or exceeded expectations. We enjoy the neighborhood and easy access to subways down Manhattan and over to Brooklyn. Groceries and restaurants are close by, with lots of neighborhoods to explore. Above all, Michael and Sandy are great hosts who are responsive to any and all questions.

The apartment is exactly as described. Clean, nice furniture and decoration and a kitchen you can easily and perfectly use for all your cooking ideas. Sandy and Michael are perfect hosts, always instantly available. They not only showed how willing they are to help for all needs with the property but even for a few private things we had to solve.
No need to worry at all about location being in Harlem. The neighborhood is bustling and lively but even if you return late as we did on a lot of evenings we always felt safe. The subway is just 2 blocks away. Good laundromats 2 blocks away with full drop off pick up service for just a few dollars.
We had a perfect month thanks to this property and their owners.

We could not have had a better experience!!! Everything about Michael and Sandy's apartment was great! Upon arriving, Sandy greeted us and showed us around the apartment, telling us to contact them if we needed anything. The apartment had tons of room and felt very clean, spacious, and comfortable.
Since we came for the marathon, I was hoping for good sleeps both before and after the race. My girlfriend and I stayed in the bedroom and it was the best bed we've both ever slept on, and there was absolutely no outside noise to disturb us. My mom slept on the pull-out sofa and slept great as well.
The kitchen was well-stocked and had everything we needed and more. We cooked quite a bit, so it was super convenient to have a Whole Foods less than two short blocks away. There was also tea, coffee, fruit, spices, and a bottle of wine provided by Michael and Sandy. Wow!!!
The location of the apartment was perfect! We took a convenient bus ride from La Guardia Airport to their apartment. The bus stop is right near the Whole Foods, so it is a very short walk. The subway is also located right by the bus stop. We took trains our whole trip, so it was awesome to only have to walk about two minutes to and from the subway. There were also amazing restaurants within a few minutes of the apartment. Michael and Sandy gave us recommendations, and we were not disappointed. Babbalucci and Sottocasa were excellent!
Finally, Michael and Sandy could not have been better hosts! They are incredibly friendly and kind people! Upon finishing the marathon, Michael and Sandy both came down from their apartment above us to congratulate me and present me with a nice card and bottle of wine. That's right, another bottle of wine!!! Also, during the marathon, Sandy somehow recognized me and gave me that final push I needed to finish the marathon strong, and Michael took great photos of me running.
Obviously, we loved our stay and thought Michael and Sandy were amazing hosts! If you are ever heading to New York and staying in Harlem, this is the place to stay! You will not be disappointed!!! Thank you Michael and Sandy!!!
