The apartment was great! Easy check in and very communicative host, and was exactly as shown if not nicer than I’d imagined! It’s a great location and space, especially for a NYC apartment, and I’d definitely stay here again.

Do not book this apartment. We were not provided with check in information and were left scrambling (in the rain) trying to find another place to stay in New York, one day before the Football World Cup final, when accommodation was extremely scarce and very expensive. This host should be removed from VRBO.

Location is excellent! Comfortable spot with the essentials. It was nice to have a kitchenette!

Easy walk to Central Park, Amsterdam, Broadway and Lincoln Center, Subway! Great accommodations if you are on the go and need safe and relatively quiet place to stay while surrounded by restaurants and everything you need. I would definitely stay again in this ideally located spot on the upper west side.

The location was perfect! The neighborhood is so charming. The space is nice and big. The property manager was responsive. The couch is a bit uncomfortable which made it tricky to spend much time relaxing in the living room…but there is so much to do in the neighborhood that we didn’t spend a lot of time there anyway. We loved our stay!

Nice space in a great location

Nice 2 bedroom apartment in a great location- a female co-worker and I were traveling for work and felt safe at the property. There were decent places to eat within walking distance. I wouldn't necessarily say this was a "luxury" apartment but it had everything we needed and the communication with the host/property manager was top notch!

Great location

This property was in a fabulous location. Apartment was very clean and the host was responsive. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioners in the rooms were very appreciated. We would have loved an extra hand towel or dish towel for the kitchen. Unfortunately, we ended up with a plumbing problem on our last day so we were unable to use the bathroom sink or shower which put a slight damper on an otherwise wonderful experience.

The apartment was perfect! Location perfect! It was the coldest week of the year and the lockbox was buried under a foot of snow and they had someone come dig it out and open it for us! 9/10 I hold back the 1 because the welcome instructions say the property manager will contact you 2-3 hours before check in. And that didn’t happen I had to walk 2 blocks with 2 suitcases and bags because they didn’t call and the address wasn’t correct. Really frustrating in 15 degrees but it all worked out

The place is disgusting. The renter doesn't communicate with you about anything. We waited in the cold of NYC for 3 hours for the key. The owner gave us the wrong code for the key fob. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE OWNER IS GARBAGE.

We booked an area we wanted to be at. On way to property was called and put in another location. Not safe or what was promised .

Response from VrboOwner on 10 June 2025
Thank you for your feedback. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the change in location. Our goal is always to provide our guests with a comfortable and safe experience. Unfortunately, the original listing you booked was unable to accommodate your group after we were informed—shortly before check-in—that the total number of guests had increased to 11. The initial reservation was made for 8 guests, and to ensure everyone in your party had adequate space, we arranged for an alternative property that could properly host your entire group. We understand how important location is when planning a trip, and we regret that the change did not meet your expectations. Please know this decision was made solely to accommodate your group’s needs and ensure a better experience for everyone. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future under better circumstances.

NYC trip

Pros- Great location. Was very friendly. Spacious considering NYC. Would go back to property. Cons- Didn’t get the check in information till day of, which was a little stressful. No mat in the bathroom to step out onto. The sheets were also a little dirty.

Great location and very clean

Literally located steps from just about everything you need and not far from places you want to see. This two bedroom, one bath apartment has been newly renovated and was very clean. It was on the smallish side but it is NYC after all. Check in/check out was very easy; host always responded quickly. One bedroom had full/queen bed with a good sized closet. The other bedroom had a full/twin bunk bed but no closet or clothing storage; one of my few suggestions would be to add hooks or a dresser. All beds were very comfortable. AC was cold. Good water pressure in shower. Could use a bath mat and hand towel in bathroom. Also, a hand towel in kitchen; and a second set of keys. But none of this hampered our long weekend stay. Would stay here again.

I made the reservation to stay at this listing in November for my daughter’s graduation in May. I sent a message to the property early in the day to confirm a time and location to get the key, but no one responded. I got to the listing well ahead of my 4:00 check in. At 4:12 I called the host number to check the status of the check in since I haven’t heard from anyone. At 4:17 the property manager called me back to report that there was a problem with the boiler. He said they've been trying to repair it all day and I won’t be able to stay there. I’m a home owner and I know things happen. I didn’t appreciate the poor communication. It was after my check in time when they informed me that I wouldn’t be staying there even though they knew all day that it was a big problem. After a long day of traveling, it left me in a bind. I didn’t appreciate it and I thought it was disrespectful, unprofessional, and unreliable to leave someone hanging like that. When I was traveling and waiting to hear from them, I could’ve been looking for another place to stay that was suitable.

Having read past reviews citing difficulties communicating with the ‘host,’ I tried to be proactive. Throughout the day of arrival, I tried to communicate with the ‘host,’ and was ignored (both text and phone). Then, the property address we were sent to was wrong. So, standing in the pouring rain at 10:00 at night, an ‘agent’ calls to redirect us to another address, four blocks away. I had put in a call to VRBO for help and they, too, could not get a response from the property manager. Suddenly, right after I my call to VRBO, the property manager texted - a threatening, retaliatory text filled with falsehoods. So- there is no ‘host,’ just an indifferent real estate company, possibly operating an illegal rental according to what building residents told us, which the Mayor’s Office of Special Enforcement (NYC311) will sort out. The property is a grimy, battered dump (see photos). ‘Elegant?’ Peeling plaster, rust, grimy walls, broken window shades, exposed screws from broken shelves (I got a terrible cut), thread-bare towels, greasy stained rug… We spent the night and left in the morning, leaving thousands on the table and incurring the cost of a second rental elsewhere – an indicator of how awful and unsafe the unit and management were in our experience.
