Good location

This lovely apartment met our needs for a 5 week summer stay in the Columbia University area. The hosts were welcoming and always helpful. The rooms and furnishings were pleasant and comfortable. There are lots of good books to read if you have the time. The kitchen is adequate but the range has only 2 small burners and there is no full oven but there is a toaster oven. The laundry in the basement is clean and convenient. Three room air conditioners provided adequate cooling on very hot summer days. The bathroom was fine but if you have physical limitations, it might be a challenge to get in and out of the shower tub, which is slightly elevated. The neighborhood is safe and the other residents of the building are fine. Overall, it was a good fit for us.

My parents recently stayed at this wonderful property for a full month, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment they arrived, Ian and Deborah were incredible hosts—warm, gracious, and genuinely thoughtful. They went above and beyond to ensure my parents were comfortable throughout their stay.We live just a block away, and thanks to the hosts’ kindness and flexibility, my parents were able to see us—and especially their grandchild—every single day. It was such a gift to have them close by but with their own peaceful space.The apartment was perfect: spacious, quiet, and beautifully set up with its own kitchen, bedroom, and living room. Since my parents prefer home-cooked meals, having a kitchen was essential—and they found it incredibly easy to settle into a daily routine. The weekly cleaning services were a fantastic bonus that helped keep everything fresh and worry-free.Ian and Deborah also allowed an early check-in and a late checkout, which made moving in and out seamless and stress-free.If you are looking for a comfortable, spotless, and well-equipped home with truly exceptional hosts, this is it. Highly, highly recommend.

Exactly as advertised.

Ian and Deborah were accessible and offered their help if needed. The apartment was just like photos only better. Felt like home, extremely comfortable. The location is terrific--close to subway and bus lines, close to restaurants, close to markets and retail shopping. Nice neighborhood with lots to visit. Will love to return next year.

A Home Away From Home On The Upper West Side

This was the 2nd time my friend and I have stayed at Ian and Deborah's apartment and we plan on staying again next year on our annual NYC visit. Lovely and safe neighborhood, sae building with a friendly doorman, 3 nice grocery stores close by and easy access to the subway. We feel very welcomed and cared about and Ian and Deborah go the extra mile.

Cozy and Eclectic

A cute older apartment in a great location with very close access to transit. Markets and shops are very close by which made it very convenient. The apartment is older and appears as so, but the provided toiletries were excellent and kitchen was well equipped. Acceptably clean and would book again! The hosts were great and friendly, and communication was top notch. Check in/out process was a breeze.

Well located apartment

The apartment was well located close to the subway with everything that you needed for your stay. Ian and Deborah provided information on local shops and restaurants that was very helpful. There was traffic noise but earplugs were provided if needed. We would certainly stay there again.

Fantastic apartment

Great location for the Subway, bus transport and for Central Park. The area has great restaurants, markets and coffee. The apartment is very well set up - comfortable bed and plush towels. Kitchen is great. Owners are very helpful and responsive to questions. Some extra little touches eg bottle of wine, cookies, milk made us feel very welcome. This was a great “home away from home” while in NYC.

Amazing Hosts, Terrific Apartment, Unbeatable Location

Ian and Deborah are welcoming and thoughtful hosts. From the wine and delicious cookies to the recommendations for navigating the neighborhood, we quickly felt welcomed and at home. It was a pleasure and a privilege to meet them! The apartment is beautiful and spacious, outfitted with everything you could need. It was our first time staying on the UWS, and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. The apartment is conveniently located to excellent markets, bookstores, restaurants, coffee shops, watering holes, subway stations, and Central Park, not to mention Absolute Bagels—the best bagels in NYC. We had an amazing time, and we so appreciate your kindness. We highly recommend and hope to stay again—Lisa and Dan

Great place, great time!

We loved our week-long stay here! The location was great, right in the Columbia University area, with a subway stop half a block away (right near a great grocery store, the West Side Market), and even closer, a bus stop taking one right to the Met and other museums. The apartment building was quiet and secure; the apartment itself was super clean and comfortable. My wife and I sleep in separate beds (I snore!), and the double bed in one room and even more comfortable fold-out bed and topper in another were very comfortable, with just the right firmness. We love to cook, and the kitchen had everything we needed for cook the good-quality veggies and fish from from the West Side Market (plus the great bagels from Absolute Bagel). We also found restaurants we loved just down the block at 110th and Amsterdam., We hope to make this our regular place to stay in future Big Apple trips. PS Lots of interesting books, too.

Wonderful Place to Stay on the UWS!

Apartment was very clean, well supplied and comfortable. The cookies and the wine are a nice touch! The bed was comfy. There was plenty of storage space for clothes, etc. Kitchen was well enough equipped for basic meals. Best of all Deborah and Ian are very responsive, kind and generous hosts. The location was wonderful. Right down the block from Westside Market, the Cathedral, dining and shopping, Columbia, and best of all, our son, who is a grad student. We will definitly stay again!

Great hosts, great location and apartment

Ian and Deborah were very friendly and responsive to our needs. If you like easy access to the city while living outside of it close to Central Park, this is a great location. The apartment is spacious and well appointed. The kitchen is nearly brand new and has everything most people would need. I have nothing but good things to say of our experience.

FANTASTIQUE !

Nous avons choisi l'appartement de Ian et Déborah pour son emplacement (proximité de Central Park) et pour son descriptif très attractif et précis : nous n'avons pas été déçus ! L'appartement bénéficie d'un emplacement idéal pour découvrir New York et il est spacieux, cosy , calme et accueillant ! Nous nous y sommes sentis comme chez nous durant notre semaine de vacances. Ian et Déborah fournissent des serviettes de très haut de gamme, les draps sont très doux. La cuisine est super bien équipée, il ne manque absolument rien ! Même la bouteille de vin au frais à notre arrivée était prévue ! Nous recommandons très vivement cette location proposée par des propriétaires d'une extrême gentillesse et très soucieux de bien-être de leurs vacanciers. Corinne et Daniel - France
