Located in Manhattan within a short walk of 5th Avenue, this vacation home is within a mile (2 km) of other popular sights such as Empire State Building. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a balcony, and a Smart TV.
This is our personal New York City home. We actually live here. We only rent it out when we travel. So please treat it like someone’s real home, not like a hotel. It’s a classic, older NYC townhouse with a lot of character and a very New York vibe. If you want a real NYC experience in a real NYC home, this is for you.
Get ready for a New York stay you’ll actually remember. This is a rare 3,000 sq. ft. boho-style townhouse, one block from Gramercy Park, on three floors, with outdoor space (yes, in Manhattan). The entrance used to be an actual storefront, so the first floor has that cool “old New York” feeling you really don’t see anymore. It feels lived-in, warm, and personal—because it is.
This is not a cookie-cutter home. This is how New Yorkers live.

About the space The house keeps a lot of its original details and we updated things over time, so you’ll see a mix of older and newer. Some corners look vintage, some look modern. That’s the charm. • Living room: big open space with super high ceilings (around 20 ft), good for hanging out or working. • Kitchen: open chef-style kitchen with island, Italian granite, good for cooking at home. • Outdoor: two terraces + a landscaped patio in the back — very rare for the city.
⸻
3 Bedrooms: • King suite (back of house): king-size bed + private en-suite bathroom. This is the quiet side of the house. • Front bedroom 1 (faces main avenue): queen-size bed, lots of natural light • Front bedroom 2 (faces main avenue): queen-size bed + pull-out futon for extra guests
⸻
Entrance You come in through what used to be a storefront. It’s very New York, very film-set energy. Not a hotel lobby.
⸻
What you get • Entire 2-floor townhouse to yourself • 2 terraces + garden patio • Central AC + electric heat • Washer/dryer • Fully stocked kitchen • Fast WiFi • TV + workspace • Linens, towels, hair dryer, basics • Our prices already include fees — no hidden stuff
If you need a cleaning during your stay, just ask.
⸻
Important to know (please read) • This is our home. We use it. So you might see normal home things, not everything is “hotel style.” • It’s an NYC townhouse, not new construction. Expect some character. • We want respectful guests who understand the difference. • We are here to make your stay comfortable — just communicate.
⸻
Location You’re in one of the best, most convenient areas in Manhattan — near Gramercy, close to Union Square, easy subway access, and you can walk to Flatiron and even Empire State. Super central.
If this sounds like what you want — a real New York home
Other things to note • This is my personal home, not a hotel. I live here when I’m not traveling, so it’s fully set up like a real home. • The jacuzzi tub is not functional as a jacuzzi. It works as a regular tub — you can use hot and cold water, no problem — but the jets don’t work. • The outdoor BBQ / grill is not working anymore. But honestly, you’re in New York City — you have some of the best restaurants in the world within a few blocks. You can get anything delivered. • The kitchen is fully stocked because I cook at home a lot. Pots, pans, plates, utensils, basic seasonings — it’s all there for normal cooking. • We provide linens, towels, paper towels, and basic essentials. • The house has central heating and cooling. • This is an older NYC townhouse, so please expect some character, not everything brand-new. • We ask that you treat the house with care, the same way we do.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.

Our family had an amazing stay at this property - it was such a wonderful, real New Yorker experience…not tourists living out of a hotel room. The neighborhood felt safe and there were so many great restaurants and shops within walking distance. The property is well kept and we had everything we needed (and more!) The kids loved having their own rooms and the master bedroom was gorgeous with a massive bathroom. The beds and linens were soft and comfy and there were plenty of towels. Check in was easy and we got a short intro to the property from the assistant. We didn’t run into any issues we needed to contact anyone about, but I’m sure if we did, they would have been dealt with promptly, as all our previous communications were timely and accommodating. All the tips and pre-check in information provided was detailed and super helpful. Can’t recommend this property enough and I hope we can visit again in the future!
