Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cleanliness (and the toilet paper lol). We’d be happy to host you again whenever you visit your brother on 83rd and 1st!
The host was helpful and responsive. We liked the location. A nice neighborhood feel with lots of restaurants around the corner. The beds were extremely comfortable. Two bedrooms!

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Dropping off bags before check-in ended up taking longer than it should have. We didn’t have towels until the following morning. Dream team rep even had the nerve to ask if we’d even looked for them when we reached out about not having any - Turns out laundry was closed due to holiday and cleaning person failed to mention it. Blender didn’t work which was a bummer since I spent 50 bucks buying stuff to make smoothies. All that and I’m still waiting for my credit payment due to the last minute cancellation of my first reservation.

Explore the Timeless Appeal of the Upper East Side
Nestled in the heart of Manhattan, the Upper East Side is a timeless and sophisticated neighborhood that captures the essence of classic New York City living. With its elegant brownstones, tree-lined streets, and peaceful residential vibe, it remains one of the most desirable areas in the city.
Just a short stroll from the apartment, you'll find Central Park—perfect for morning walks, relaxing picnics, or scenic jogs. You're also steps away from Museum Mile, home to world-renowned institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum.
The neighborhood offers a rich mix of charming cafés, upscale restaurants, specialty grocers, and boutique shops, especially along Madison and Lexington Avenues. And while the Upper East Side is known for its tranquility, it also provides excellent access to the rest of Manhattan with the Q, 4, 5, and 6 subway lines nearby.
Whether you're looking to unwind, explore world-class culture, or experience life like a local, the Upper East Side offers the perfect balance of elegance, convenience, and New York charm.
