Neighborhood Overview: We look forward to making your stay special. SoHa is a great neighborhood. We are located just one block from Central Park and the great North Woods and a short walk to the Garden Conservatory, the Harlem Meers, The Museum of the City of New York, St John the Divine, Columbia University and Morningside Park. We have great local Harlem restaurants like Melba's, Amy Ruths and the supper club Mintons nearby along with restaurant row only Frederick Douglas Boulevard. Supermarkets, restaurants, and easy access to the entire city. We have a Starbucks 1.5 blocks away but we have other NY coffee places slightly further. And I highly recommend Bo's Bagels on 116th St for a delicious NY bagel. We can offer recommendations for sightseeing, dining and great walks in the North Woods of Central Park. If you bring your dog, they are allowed off-leash in Central Park from 9pm to 9am. Many dog owners gather on the Great Hill - about a 5 minute walk into Central Park North - from 8 - 9am for

Notes: This area is mainly residential so on-street parking is generally available but I offer no guarantees. There are parking garages 7-8 blocks away. No parties!

The M2, M3, and M4 buses are one block away and head straight down 5th Avenue to all the great museums and shopping on Madison Avenue.

Access: Our backyard has a table with seating for 6-8 people plus 2 couches and our garden. It is great for relaxing, dining or just having a glass of wine. If you have dog, they will have access to the yard between long walks in Central Park. You will have access to the kitchen and all its amenities - pots, pans, utensils, plates, glassware, flatware, stove, refrigerator, microwave and Keurig Coffee. You are welcomed to make yourselves at home in our home. We will help you with any questions you have.

  • Reviewer: Howard

    Comments: Very private bedroom in a good neighborhood. Communication was very efficient. James was very friendly and we had some great conversations.

  • Reviewer: Edu

    Comments: We stayed 4 nights and everything was very good. James is a very nice guy and kind to the guests .. The house is very clean, the rooms and bathrooms too. Ideal for a few days in New York. It is located in an area with very good communication, the subway is less than 5 minutes walk. Recommended!!!!

  • Reviewer: Daniel

    Comments: Awesome experience all around, great guy, great house!

  • Reviewer: John

    Comments: James is a hospitable and accommodating host. The lodgings are clean, spacious, and near to main transit lines. You will have much privacy; as described. You'll also get amazing local recommendations if you ask!

  • Reviewer: Edwin

    Comments: Perfect place to explore New York. 2 perfect rooms and within 5 minute walk and 10 metro minutes you are downtown. James is a friendly host, gives you privacy and is helpful.

  • Reviewer: Yvonne

    Comments: We loved staying at James' place! It's a great spot for any length of stay in Manhattan. Their lovely home is quite convenient to subway stops in a few directions for heading downtown or further uptown. The north side of Central Park is but a few steps away and we enjoyed exploring Harlem from their location. We found their home to be bright, clean, spacious, cozy and comfortable -- an oasis from the bustling city and just right for unwinding inside and also outside in their awesome backyard. Oh, yes -- their family includes a cutie of a very friendly dog, too! James and Tom are exceptional hosts, easy to be around in the shared spaces, great conversationalists and excellent with recommendations when we were on the go. We miss them!

    Comments: Tivemos um tempo muito bom com James. Local que acomoda muito bem grupo de 4 adultos com conforto. O que para NY é raro. Localização ideal para nos

  • Reviewer: Joel

    Comments: House was always clean, great location around the corner from Central Park and main subway stop. I will definitely be coming back to stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Patricia

    Comments: We loved everything about it. The dogs instantly felt at home. Spending time with them in the back yard was awesome. Coming back to the neighborhood and Central Park brought back great memories. But meeting James and Tom was definitely the highlight of the weekend.

  • Reviewer: Cindy

    Comments: James and Tom could not have been more accommodating, gracious, generous, and friendly. The location is amazing and was such a great introduction to Harlem and to NYC for us. Hubble (the dog) was very sweet as well. The rooms were clean, spacious, and had great temperature control (although the weather was perfect this trip). We highly recommend staying here!

  • Reviewer: Greg

    Comments: Great place to stay! Located a few blocks off Central Park and close to local restaurants you can't go wrong with this location. Even had a back yard to relax!!

  • Reviewer: Dorene

    Comments: A warm and welcoming place to stay and the guys were a terrific help to us in finding our way around town. Would highly recommend their place when you visit.

  • Reviewer: Alexandre

    Comments: Very nice apartment, well located. The yard is great!

  • Reviewer: Gunnar

    Comments: Great place

  • Reviewer: Michael

    Comments: From the moment we arrived to the aroma of homemade cookies we knew we had made a fantastic choice. The rest of our stay proved this to be the case. Jim is an experienced host who managed to make us feel completely at home and went the extra mile to ensure we had an enjoyable and comfortable stay e.g. homemade bagels and cupcakes. The place was spotlessly clean, quiet and the beds were extremely comfortable. The location was fantastic for Central Park and subway stations. We had a lovely room each and a bathroom and separate toilet to ourselves. It felt truly felt home from home.

    Comments: 完美的房東,細心的跟我溝通,願意幫我解決問題,每天還準備點心招待,地點很好到哪裡都方便

  • Reviewer: Orlando

    Comments: Realmente es un muy buen lugar, excelente ubicación, James siempre estuvo atento a cualquier inquietud y nos lleno de detalles increíbles. Sitio recomendado 100%. James lo hace sentir como en casa.

  • Reviewer: Lyn

    Comments: Absolutely loved our time with James.. kind, caring and considerate.. centrally located to bus and subway.. nothing was too much trouble.. James is an excellent host and we have no hesitation in recommending his residence to fellow travellers (both holiday and professional)

  • Reviewer: Marco

    Comments: James and Tom are supper nice hosts, their reception made people feels like at home, especially I suddenly caught cold and fever during my stay, they took care of me and helped me a lot, tons of thanks indeed ,and love to have good conversation with them too. The apartment is big and very clean, bed is very comfortable, the location is convenient too, there’re serval subway lines just near by in 5mins walking, and there is Central Park North close by, very easy to walk around. People love NYC is not because of the amazing city, but also because the amazing people lived in NYC just like James and Tom.

  • Reviewer: Liwei

    Comments: James is a fantastic host!! He is friendly, kind, hospitable (home-made cakes! And even tea from China! Btw, we are Chinese.) and gives good suggestions. The place is very clean, warm, comfortable and near to everything. Not going to have trouble finding restaurants, subway station or bus station. Great place! Strongly recommend!

  • Reviewer: Joseph

    Comments: James and his husband, Tom, were the most wonderful hosts. Their place was clean, they were very communicative, and they made sure we always had everything we needed. Their dog, Hubble, was also a gracious host. Lots of love from him and he was very friendly and welcoming to my dog as well. The private bedroom and the whole space in general is large by NYC standards. They also have a private backyard, from which your room will have plenty of natural light. I could not have asked for anything more, especially considering the price. I would stay again in a heartbeat and recommend James & Tom’s place to anyone that is looking for a safe, central, affordable place to stay.

  • Reviewer: Tina

    Comments: James and Tom were excellent. James was very responsive -- the place was very clean and we had our toilets! If you are bit sensitive to noise like I was, I was suggest to bring earbuds. New York can get pretty noisy. Their apartment was conveniently located right around the corner from the subway. Definitely would stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Catherine

    Comments: We stayed here for three nights and we can wholeheartedly recommend it. James and Tom are wonderful hosts, really friendly and interesting and they have a beautiful apartment (and a great dog). The apartment was spacious, clean and very tastefully decorated and has everything you could possibly need. Location is fantastic just a block away from Central Park and five minutes walk from the metro. Thank you both. X

  • Reviewer: Valencia

    Comments: Awesome hosts! Can't say enough great things about the accommodations, the service, and the pleasure we had spending time here. It's the perfect place for a short or longer stay and has some fantastic restaurants nearby. Highly recommended and next time we come up we will be staying here!

  • Reviewer: Louis

    Comments: James & Tom (and Hubble) were exemplary hosts - friendly, hospitable and ready to share their enthusiasm for their neighbourhood. The rooms (one with access to the courtyard) and the house were very spacious and comfy and James’ bakery was another highlight. I look forward to coming back to stay with them again.

  • Reviewer: Nicole

    Comments: This was a fabulous place to stay, very clean and spacious with absolutely lovely hosts. Easy access to the subway and very close to LaGuardia. Would 100% recommend and will be looking to stay there again the next time I visit NYC :)

  • Reviewer: David

    Comments: 非常棒的一次经历,我们一家三人来纽约参加颁奖典礼,住在这里五天。这里位置很好,安静又交通便利,离中央公园很近。公寓很棒,很温馨、干净,James和Pubble非常好客,后花园很惬意。下次来纽约还住这里!

  • Reviewer: Alain

    Comments: Le logement est idéalement situé dans Harlem, juste à côté de Central Park, du métro, des commerces. Il est très calme et confortable. Les équipements sont complets. La cohabitation avec James se passe très bien, dans la discrétion et l'attention. Leurs bagels sont super bons. On s'est promené en sécurité dans le quartier, y compris tard le soir.

  • Reviewer: Jason

    Comments: James is a very kind and helpful host. The apartment is very comfortable and convenient to travel in New York City! We like to walk through the Central Park and get to the metropolitan Museum from his apartment. Definitely recommend and will stay here again if I come to New York again!

  • Reviewer: Robert

    Comments: Very nice host, solid location next to central park, and comfortable living conditions. Overall excellent experience

  • Reviewer: Henrik

    Comments: Jimmy, Tom and Hubbles are wonderful hosts. We loved the hospitality and the chitchats we had during our stay. Jimmy was very responsive before our arrival. A parking spot was good to find (one block) and the neighborhood felt safe. The location is great and close to Central Park, Restaurants, Bus/Metro Stations. We will definitely come back on our next NYC trip. They really deserve the title “super hosts”.

  • Reviewer: Susan

    Comments: Great location, clean & spacious and comfortable rooms, friendly & knowledgeable host; banks and restaurants, groceries and pharmacy close by. (Even got an emergency dental problem handled next day, affordably!) All 4 of us made great memories, slept soundly, and saved money by staying with James! (A beer in the backyard did tough competition with going out for a drink!) No concerns about safety; saw some homeless folks sleeping next to the cathedral at night but they were quiet & respectful. Walks & (Citibike) bike rides in the park were a highlight of our trip. Large public pool nearby is great for laps, recreation or therapy.

  • Reviewer: Fernando

    Comments: Muy buena opción tanto por hospitalidad como por localización, no lo dudéis.

  • Reviewer: Vincent

    Comments: James and Tom were absolutely perfect hosts ! Very friendly, very good cooks. They can help you with anything you need. Our only regret ? Our trip in New-York was too short ! Now, I really hope we can see them in France next year. Thanks you so much my  friends (and Hubble of course !).

  • Reviewer: Paras

    Comments: James makes staying at his place comfortable and easy. He's fun and interesting to talk to, the bedrooms have all of the amenities needed (beds are comfortable), and the place is clean. James even made us welcome muffins!!! How much friendlier of a host do you need? James' place is also close to the subway and close to Rite Aid which is almost a grocery store where you can get almost anything you'd need. There are also restaurants in the area which is convenient. I'd definitely stay here again. Hopefully, I have enough time to come back and take advantage of the comfy looking backyard!!! =)

  • Reviewer: Tea Marie

    Comments: We really enjoyed our stay in Harlem :) Super nice people and the cutest dog! Would definetly reccomend staying here.

  • Reviewer: Lulu

    Comments: James and Tom are the most wonderful hosts! The apartment is great, spotlessly clean, easily accessible to the metro, and we felt so at home there. Small touches like waters in the fridge, baked goodies and being lent an umbrella when it’s raining are fantastic when you are a long way from home! We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend them.

  • Reviewer: Stefan

    Comments: Aufgrund der bisherigen Bewertungen, waren wir sehr gespannt auf die Unterkunft. Was soll man sagen, aber alles bisher positiv geschriebene fanden wir genauso vor. James und Tom sind tolle Gastgeber, bei denen man sich einfach wohl fühlen muss. Alles war sauber, gut ausgestattet und gemütlich. Zudem konnte man die Küche und das Wohnzimmer mit nutzen, wobei die Gastgeber immer sehr zurückhaltend und meistens auf ihrer Etage waren. Die Lage empfanden wir als richtig gut. Sowohl Subway als auch Fahrradverleih (Citibikes) waren sehr schnell zu erreichen und der Central Park quasi direkt vor der Haustür. Wir können die Gastgeber und die Unterkunft mit bestem Gewissen weiterempfehlen und werden sicher wiederkommen.

  • Reviewer: Marc

    Comments: James is a marvellous person with a tremendous sense of hospitality. In one word, my best address in NYC.

  • Reviewer: Raquel

    Comments: James es encantador a la hora de recibirte y pone todas las facilidades tanto para la llegada como para la salida. Ahora bien, debería especificar que entra y sale del apto. cada vez que él quiere ya que se queda en el piso de abajo y para entrar y salir debe pasar por el mismo, por lo que saliendo de la ducha te lo puedes encontrar, además con su perro. Excelente ubicación con línea c 110 station que te lleva a cualquier punto interesante de la ciudad.

  • Reviewer: Phil

    Comments: Great Host, experienced with the city, and very amiable gentleman. The space is all you could hope for and the Host is an amazing family.

  • Reviewer: Renee

    Comments: Perfect location if you are visiting Manhattan...if you prefer the feel of staying with family/friends for a few days over a hotel room and don’t mind a shared common space concept you will love this airbnb! Hosts are so friendly and welcoming, but also will limit interaction based on the guests wants/needs. The extra-special thoughtful touch of having a plate of home-baked Christmas treats waiting for us when we arrived 12/22 that magically replenished itself each morning was very appreciated! We also enjoyed cuddles with their precious dog Hubble!

  • Reviewer: Dana

    Comments: I seriously can’t say enough about Jame’s place. Perfect location for exploring the city. Easily accessible to the subway and bus lines. Great restaurants within walking distance and a safe neighborhood. James and Tom were awesome with advice for getting around and local attractions. And after a full day of exploring there was nothing better than settling into the most comfortable beds EVER!! We will definitely be back!!

  • Reviewer: Niha

    Comments: This Airbnb is in a great location, subway stations are just a block away. Great hospitality. Also, their dog Hubble is adorable. Will definitely recommend this airbnb
