Both the main apartment (1 bedroom) and duplex (2 bedrooms) have enough beds and fold-out sofa beds to comfortably sleep 10 people. In total, we’ve got 4 beds and 5 fold out beds for large groups of up to 10.
1) The Main Apartment with 1 Bedroom & Bathroom:
There is one queen sized bed for 2 guests and one marble bathroom attached to the bedroom. We’ve also included 2 chairs and 1 ottoman that all convert into extra single beds.
The bathroom in the apartment is modern with a glass sink, toilet, small bathtub with rain shower. The bathroom and the kitchen within the unit have been remodeled so you won’t have to worry about any water that isn’t hot enough.
This whole apartment has been polished to make sure guests are happy and enjoy themselves.
Within the living room, 10 people can comfortably lounge and they have access to a full kitchen and dining room.
2) The Duplex Suite with 2 Bedrooms & 1/2 Bathroom:
The first bedroom is completely private and holds 2 single beds that can be combined to form a King size bed. The second bedroom is part of the office/library and has 1 queen sized futon bed with an extra mattress for double comfort. Stairs leading to the upstairs bedroom are in this room.
We’ve also brought a chair that converts into a bed and a fold out ottoman bed. In total, this second duplex suite holds 5 more guests and the rooms are connected by private stairway between them.
3) Private 1000 Square Foot Garden (Allows Smoking):
After a long day, or night, out and about in the city, guests can relax in the apartment’s quaint walled-in garden, enjoying the greenery and change of pace from the hustle and bustle of the streets that are only a few feet away. The 1,000 square foot private garden is an oasis in the midst of the concrete jungle, and it will surely make guests feel at ease. Smoking is okay in the garden, however, it is not allowed inside the apartment.
This elegant apartment has plenty of room to accommodate a couple that prefers the finer things in life or a group of up to 10 family members or friends that are looking for somewhere special to stay.

“Absolute BEST place to stay with your group- can't recommend enough!”
Reviewed in March 2018
Stayed with a group of 7 people for 4 days, lost one day to the snow storm and we were offered another night no questions asked. Besides the obviously wonderful location of this apartment, there are SO many things to rave about:
-Great rate for a group of people 5-10 (probably too big for any smaller groups)
-Very clean and well kept, they have some SERIOUSLY comfy beds.
-Endless clean and HOT water (6 people showered and it was still hot!)
-GORGEOUS PRIVATE GARDEN- owner has clearly worked hard to preserve it, love the string lights
-We had a problem with our key/lock and the owners fixed it IMMEDIATELY without us even bugging them
*And perhaps most importantly are the owners of this home- absolutely wonderful, friendly people who are sincerely invested in preserving this home while inviting strangers from all over the world to enjoy it.
My group was immediately welcomed in the home, served champagne and food, and given a run-down for all the best local spots. After a hectic day of traveling, it was a dream come true.
I can't imagine coming to NYC again without staying here....I think this apartment is my happy place.

I meet guests on arrival, give them the keys, show them around and tell them about the neighborhood. They then have complete privacy unless they would like more information or help, which I am happy to give. When we are in town my husband and I live in an apartment upstairs, which is completely private from yours.

This is a LEGAL apartment and there is 5.875% tax and $2 a night bed tax required in cash on arrival. It is quite Risky to rent an illegal apartment because the attorney general is shutting them down. The New York State Multiple Dwelling Law prohibits short-term rentals of property in Class A multiple dwellings used for permanent residence purposes (which Includes most apartment buildings but not single and two-family buildings) unless a permanent occupant of the apartment is present during the stay, no money is exchanged, or if the stay is longer than thirty consecutive days. The apartment is in an Historic Townhouse from the 1850's. It has been completely remodeled several times. The layout is spacious and somewhat quirky giving it lots of charm. This listing consists of a 1-bedroom main apartment with an en suite bathroom and an adjacent 2-room duplex suite.
