Neighborhood Overview: This neighborhood is very unique with a mix of Dominican, Cuban, Greek, Jewish and Russian cultures in an authentic NYC style. As one of our guests put it, "It feels like you're in another country--only in New York!" Don't let the bigness of this neighborhood deter you from appreciating it for what it is: pure New York City! Washington Heights as a whole has been known to be the haven of old-school artists (unlike the emerging young artists populating Williamsburg). Many painters, writers, opera singers and dancers have called this place their home since the early 20th century, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of the critically-acclaimed Hamilton musical. Some of our local fave eateries include... Saggio's--revel in the divine roasted fennel Tampopo Ramen--dig into the yummy Bao buns with a Japanese beer Mambi--try the tasty Latin rotisserie chicken, rice & beans, sweet plantains Pick n' Eat--chomp away at the gluten-free pizza Burger Heights--get the classic + sweet potato frie

Reviewer: Mawaki
Comments: This is a great place to stay, especially if you have a lot to do or to see in the city, as it's really close to subway stations in Manhattan. It is very clean and quiet. If your intention is to stay for a long period of time or to "live like a local" while you're there, and as a result you may need cooking or laundry, make sure to let the hosts know so that they show you what you need to do (unless you already have all the information you need before checking in.) Isabella and Niteyes are a young couple very welcoming, open-minded and friendly. They clearly want their guesses to feel comfortable and are ready to put in every effort in order to make that happen. They also have good advice about eatery around. Enjoy!

Reviewer: 建宏
Comments: Isabella and her family are most gracious, welcoming and warm. They truly made me feel at home while still having my privacy. I felt pampered with the lovely space, the luxurious amenities and beautiful ambiance. It is peaceful, especially gazing out the window last night while it was snowing. Great time for my journaling. The heater can get the room quite toasty and you have the option to turn it off. I enjoyed great rest in this mini paradise. Isabella goes beyond the call of duty in wanting to make her guests feel comfortable. I am very grateful. The listing was described accurately and the room was even better than expected. It is immaculate, cozy and stylish. Isabella really anticipates the needs of her guests--like an international outlet charger. The neighborhood bustles with NYC energy. I hear it's a true NY community. Cool to be away from the routine tourist traps, yet I was still close enough to get my fill. The subway is right outside the apartment--especially neat as it was cold and blustery during my stay. I was in TSquare and WTC in a jippy on the 1 train--a perfect train line that took me everywhere and anywhere. Super convenient to get an int'l data plan from T-Mobile downstairs from the apartment. Isabella recommended great eateries in the immediate area and the really cool Cloisters museum in the Tryon park that is 15 minutes from apartment. I even traveled to Brooklyn to see a friend and the 24hr train system is safe and filled with endless shows by street performers. The A train is close when needed to get to the airports, but I got the 1 train and transferred 1 stop to A to get me to port authority. I know I wrote a tome, but the family took the time to deliver great care for me and I am very thankful. In a nutshell, Isabella and her family get people! They get hospitality! They rock! Thank you guys for making my trip fun! And your daughter is such a bundle of joy!

Comments: Great stay at her place. It was very clean just like what the pictures show. She provided towels, water, coffee, etc and was very hospitable in person. I'm going back there again!

Reviewer: Lauren
Comments: Our stay at Isabella's was PERFECT for what we needed! Although it was the busiest weekend of the year, we were able to use the subway across the street with ease, and Isabella gave us stop by stop directions to anywhere we asked. She even gathered local info for us when we asked about the Times Square celebration and when to go! She was a gracious host, leaving us a cute bottle of champagne (New Years eve!), assorted juices, coffee and filtered water for our comfort. The bed and pillows in our room was so comfortable, and it was a spacious and comforting. Isabella let us check in a bit early due to or flight arriving earlier than expected, which was so helpful as we were exhausted! She also let us keep our bags in her apartment until we were ready to leave for the airport today. All in all - 100% recommend!

Reviewer: Jommy
Comments: I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS PLACE! Not only is it affordable, Isabella's place is one of the nicest! It has a homey feel to it, and it's pretty clean, and their family is just so hospitable. ❤ two thumbs up!

Reviewer: Mingyang
Comments: Isabella and family are totally awesome! She helped us from the moment we booked the room with every question we had. In fact, we arrived early around 10am and were exhausted from a redeye flight from California, and the room was not to be ready until 3pm. Isabella took it upon herself and upgraded us to the suite without any price hike. Now, that is service! My girlfriend and I were excited and so relieved that we can catch some zzzzz's before exploring this amazing city. The room is serene, super clean and so comfortable. We loved the bed--we slept like babies. Isabella always anticipated our needs and checked in with us. The room came with beverages, chocolate and gourmet coffee and tea. We also appreciated the keyless access to the apartment--so modern and cool. We felt like it was our own place and truly enjoyed our privacy. My goodness, how close can the metro station be...I mean only a few steps away to everywhere that matters in Manhattan. We truly enjoyed this uptown neighborhood in Manhattan, as it was raging with NYC energy and excitement. And we roamed all over the city. Not to mention, her daughter is absolutely adorable and playful. Simply put, we loved our first Airbnb stay in this lovely paradise with very warm, human service. Isabella, thank you. Below is our description both in Mandarin and Japanese. 仲の良いご夫婦と可愛い女の子のホストです。とてもお優しく、困った時や質問なんかは電話やメールですぐに対応して下さいました。部屋は清潔で静かで、駅からとても近く何不自由なく過ごせました。ありがとうございました 住家十分友善,纽约地铁很复杂,她都一点一点地帮你解释清楚,十分耐心。房子是外旧内心,日用品一应俱全。出门三分钟就到地铁一号线。房子周围有药房便利店,还有好吃的papa Johns。总之,价格不高,服务质量很不错

Comments: This is my second stay at her place and will be going back in the future! It's quiet and clean, and next to the 1 line. The host is always so thoughtful and communicative to make sure I have everything I need.

Comments: PERFECT is my only comment! The bed is comfy, and I was always touched by numerous homy elements at the house. Isabella is super communicative and considerate. You can also find a fish market and several convenience stores in the neighborhood. Thumbs up!

Reviewer: Fernanda
Comments: This was the first time in New York for my brother and me and it was great! We were worried that the place was a bit far from the major attractions of the city but it has a subway just across the street and it was easy to go everywhere. We did not see Isabella very often but she was always reachable by phone or message and she helped us with all our questions. She was so nice and caring! Oh! Before I forget: the bed was soooo comfy which it's something I think everybody can appreciate when you are in a city that you want to know as much as you can... We walked a lot every day so it was wonderful to get home to rest in that bed (We fall in love with that bed! hahaha!) Thank you for everything Isabella!! xx

Reviewer: Faina
Comments: Ella and her husband made check in and check out very simple and their listing was accurate. They always reply to messages very promptly, which was a great help. They are a 30 second walk from the 1 subway which goes to many tourist destinations. The room is private, and the bed is a full size, very comfy. There is also a full length mirror in the foyer. I would definetily recommend.

Reviewer: Lea
Comments: The place was very near a subway station! Ella is quick to respond and so communication would not be an issue. Place was clean and basic amenities were provided. Definitely provides tourists value for money.

Reviewer: Judy
Comments: 地点挺便利的,主要是离地铁站非常近,也比较靠近曼哈顿。 周边有一些饮食店和小超市,所以吃喝也很方便。这一带就是平民聚集的地区,不是那么清洁,但感觉挺热闹比较安全。我们晃悠到晚上10点以后也没觉得有什么危险。房间因为是小套间,因此空间挺够用。公寓大门也有锁,所以进来了就觉得挺安心。bnb主人回复很快,也会主动询问是否有需要帮助的。整个入住体验还不错!

Reviewer: Matthew
Comments: Amazing space, the room was charming and the bed super comfortable. The host was great and very helpful. It’s also an amazing location right by the subway and bus stops. The neighborhood is also amazing with plenty of amenities just doors away. You can’t go wrong booking here.

Reviewer: Roya
Comments: Even though I didn’t get to meet Ella, I felt I know her via phone and text convo. She communicated effectively and answered all my questions promptly. The bed was comfortable and it felt like a private suit. The aminities were great. I recommend this Airbnb to everyone.

Reviewer: Quincy
Comments: This place is amazing! I was so marveled at the set-up and beautiful decor. It was fantastic to have not just a room, but a little off shoot of a room as well connected to it, gave it a sense of luxury. Very comfortable bed. I slept like a lamb. A desk. Great lighting with a number of lamps. and the string lights made for a nice touch. In fact, there were tons of nice little touches throughout. The room even came with a fridge stocked with Voss water and sparkling flavored Izze drinks. Soothing, calming chakra crystals all over the room too. I didn't see my hosts at all beyond check-in because I left early and returned late every night for work. But they were always available. Would def return.

Reviewer: Stephenie
Comments: Ella was extremely helpful with the tips for the area and with checking in. She also loaned us an umbrella which was so appreciated. Be sure to keep your phone charged, because you must use an app to enter the apartment. The subway entrance is very conveniently located nearby as well as the Dunkin Donuts to grab a quick coffee or breakfast on the way out. There was supposed to be another guest in the apartment, but the way the place is laid out, we never saw them. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Reviewer: Hannah
Comments: The apartment is right across the road from the 1 line and the A C trains were less than 10 mins walk away, which was amazing for quick and easy travel into the city. Great amenities and was very private - didn’t even notice there were others staying in the other room. Check in was very easy and Ella’s husband was very welcoming and happy to give recommendations in the area and further. Ella was always available to contact. Would definitely stay there again.

Reviewer: Sarah
Comments: Ella’s suite for guests is exceptionally beautiful. It is packed with amenities like refreshments, artisanal coffee and tea and natural products for bathing, even umbrellas. The room was immaculate, neat and aesthetically decorated. There were fine touches like see-through curtains that can be draped. There is ample space to hang clothes. Everything was beyond our expectations and we travel all over the globe. We are conscientious travelers and loved the value we experienced. It just felt so cozy, comfortable and warm. Yes, it is a stone throw away from subway. We got everywhere from either 1 or A trains. Let me tell you that Ella checks in to make sure we are happy. She is responsive, friendly and thoughtful. Seriously, you’d be a fool not to book this cute gem, where your needs are fully anticipated. She makes sure that we have the best possible journey no matter how tiny the problem. We look forward to returning. Thank you, Ella!

Reviewer: Anna
Comments: The flat is very close to line 1 underground station (just across the street) and A express train (5 minutes by walking), which both head straight to downtow. A express train is also connected to Newark airport train through Penn station. The flat was very clean and tidy, the room extremely cozy and cute. Ella's husband gave us a very warm welcome and many suggestions about the city, communication with Ella was always easy and fast. We would definitely stay at their place again.

Reviewer: Wendel
Comments: Ella's place is nicely decorated & very clean. The bed is good, we slept wonderfully in it! The shower was hot & the towels super soft & comfy!! Ella and her husband are very helpful with local tips to eat. The neighbourhood is Spanish as a lot of Dominican people live there. That was a nice experience as well.

Reviewer: Mary
Comments: Expect a warm welcome, a comfortable bed and small touches to make you feel at home. I especially appreciated Niteyes helping me with my luggage. The family made the bathroom available almost all the time, which was both kind and amazingly generous. They have two cute (and very quiet) little girls. My room was charming and spacious, with a little fridge, a hot pot and coffee press. Mirrors, closet space, pretty and practical accent lighting. The kitchen was also available. Friendly, cheerful neighborhood. I would be glad to return!

Reviewer: Piper
Comments: Ella was a most hospitable host. My daughter and I spent 5 days at her place while we visited several colleges in the city. Since neither of us had ever been to New York before Ella was a great resource for navigating the subway system as well as recommendations on food and leisure activities. She responded very quickly to any messages! Not only is Ella a wonderful host, but clearly a lovely person. It was a pleasure to be in her quiet, clean and welcoming home.

Reviewer: Mayen
Comments: Our trip to NY was awesome and a major part of that was thanks to Ella and her incredible home. Not only was it aesthetically pleasing, but it was as I called it “a spa away from home”. The energy was gracious and we actually looked forward to returning to our stay after eventful days. More pluses/reasons to stay: It conveniently located next to the 1 train There were mini libraries (from childrens to self help) Very spacious for two people (same to be said for the shared bathroom) Ella is a great communicator and left kind thank you notes The lock system is super intuitive. We will 1000% be looking to stay here again when we return to NY! -Mayen

Reviewer: Ng
Comments: It was a pleasant stay since the day I checked in. I arrived late at night but Ella waited for me and ensured the check-in went smoothly. The bedroom was comfortable and tastefully decorated. The kitchen and bathroom were tidy and clean. Ella’s husband even got me a new rice cooker! When my kids arrived later, he got me new mattress and kids’ table. Her home was very child friendly too. My kids enjoyed the stay.Furthermore, the location is accessible to subway, restaurants, supermarkets and laundry service.They are great hosts and very accommodative. I highly recommend her home to everyone who wants a cozy and memorable stay in New York.

Reviewer: Ng
Comments: Ella is a great host. Apartment is well maintained and fully equipped. My room was spacious, tastefully decorated and spotless. You will not get bored even you do not go out to explore New York, as there are plenty of books to read in the room. This is important, as New York weather can be bad at times especially during the winter season. We had our Year 2019 countdown with the host, as it was raining and cold on the New Year’s Eve. The audio-visual system was superb. Who needs a hotel when you have a good host like Ella?☺
