New York City UWS Luxury Bldg - Private Room&Bath

Reviews

• Reviewer: Yao

  Comments: I left a short review while I was busy moving to my new apartment, however, there are just too many wonderful things happened while I stayed in Marcela's place that I want to leave a longer review. When we first came to her luxury 5-star alike room, she gave us a detailed tour of the room and the facilities of the building. Her room has everything you needed, a private bathroom with extremely clean condition, a private huge closet, a wash machine and a dryer in the hall way of the apartment. The facilities in the building also have everything you need, a huge conference room, a swimming pool, a fitness center, a cleaner, a playhouse for kids and even a tennis court! The location of the place is very convenient too. It is only two blocks away from the subway station and Columbus Circle, which is a huge shopping center in NYC. Besides the luxury space and facilities you have, Marcela herself as a host is also extremely nice and considerate. She is always ready to help whenever you needed her. I highly recommend this place and I would definitely stay in her apartment next time!

  Comments: Marcela's home is a luxury apartment that is truly top notch. The building offers things like a pool, billiards room and doorman. Her apartment was impeccably clean and outfitted with quality furnishings. As a host, Marcella was lovely--very helpful when we needed her but also left us alone to enjoy her large, sunlit-filled bedroom. We were happily surprised to find that we had our own private bathroom! She also moved a twin bed into the room for our teenage son. He really appreciated her going to all that work for him. As for location, it's a short walk to Central Park and Columbus Circle for the subway. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. I highly recommend Marcela's apartment. We will definitely stay with her again!

  Comments: We had an amazing time in New York and Marcela made a wonderful host. As soon as we arrived she made us feel welcome and provided us with lots of information about what to see and do in NY. She gave us background information about the city and shared her personal favorite spots, making the experience very comfortable. The apartment was excellent and we could not fault it. The location is peaceful and close to the metro and supermarkets. We were blessed to have stayed with Marcela and would definitely recommend her to anyone visiting NYC.

  Comments: Marcela was the perfect hostess. Not only did she make me feel so welcome, but she has a stunning apartment in the beautiful Upper West Side. It is conveniently located near the subway and surrounded with a bustling nightlife and restaurants. It was hard to venture further away from this area as there is so much to do. The big room is gorgeous with lots of light and a great view, a huge closet and a very comfortable bed and the en-suite bathroom is first class. Marcela is also full of great advice and tips as a wise New Yorker. She is very friendly and helpful and even prepared a few things to help me find my way around the city. I will never forget my visit to New York City, and Marcela only enriched my experienced. I cant wait for my next visit, and I will most certainly stay with her again.

  Comments: Perfect place to stay in New york city! I couldn't of asked for a better host. Marcela was just so welcoming, warm and friendly! I was so impressed with the room and apartment. Very clean, tidy, a massive comfy bed, own bathroom. Awesome location. The best host! What more could you ask for? I HIGHLY recommend and would definitely be staying here again when I come back to New York!

• Reviewer: Beatriz

  Comments: The apartment was spacious, comfortable and with a nice, large window. It has been a pleasure to meet Marcela.

• Reviewer: Nicole

  Comments: Marcela was incredibly friendly and the apartment was clean, well equipped, centrally located, and the room was very comfortable. The only thing that was challenging for us was that we tend to get up and out quite early and our host was sleeping in the living room so we were concerned about waking her. It was somewhat awkward for us. Other than that, everything was just right.

• Reviewer: Marlies

  Comments: We have been staying with Marcela for 4 nights and really had a wonderful time. She is a great host and everything was super clean and comfortable! In contrast to a previous post, Marcela has her own bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom she gave to us was spacious, had a comfortable bed and morning sun with an open view. It also had its own on-suite bathroom. Because we were so busy visiting the Big Apple, we had hardly time to talk to her and that we regret. The one time we could chat a little longer was so nice. We really did enjoy it. Marcela respects the privacy of het visitors very much! I already notified my colleagues at work, that I found a great place to stay in NYC! The location is so good. Very safe and not far from Columbus Circle and Central Park! We truly recommend this place! Photos and description are exactly as mentioned on the website. Thank you, Marcela!

• Reviewer: Adam

  Comments: What a beautiful apartment! I expected it would be nice, and I was pleasantly surprised anyway. Marcela either has amazing taste or a great interior decorator, or perhaps both. The bedroom is large and completely private, with its own bathroom, like a hotel only nicer. The mattress is firm enough for my back, always a plus. The gym and pool are great as well. The pool is on the small side, but long enough to swim laps which is my main requirement, and kept warm (~85 F) which I really appreciate. When I had questions Marcela took care of everything I needed. I'll be back!

• Reviewer: Adam

  Comments: This was my second stay. with Marcela Everything went smoothly. I'd recommend a stay to anyone. One thing I didn't mention in my last review is how comfortable the mattress is -- I prefer a firm one, and this fit the bill nicely.

• Reviewer: Sylvie

  Comments: We stayed 4 nights at Marcela's place. She is a very friendly, welcoming and accommodating host. Her lovely apartment is located in a new building and matches the description. The room is spacious and the private bathroom can be accessed from the room. The location is very convenient if you want to visit New York, it's a 5-10 minute walk to Columbus Circle. We would definitely recommend Marcela's place.

• Reviewer: Erika

  Comments: Marcela was our host to our recent trip to New York. And we couldn't have picked a better host especially for our first time as Airbnb users.She made this experience wonderful. Marcela was very welcoming and super nice! Her attention to detail for your stay at her place did not go unnoticed. The bed was super comfortable and the room was really beautiful. The apartment was very clean and spacious. The location was perfect for us! So close to Central Park and other must see things in New York. Marcela was also very fast to respond to any inquiries. I would recommend her as your host if you are planning a trip to NYC! Thank so much Marcela!

• Reviewer: Rocio

  Comments: It has been definitely the best choice staying at Marcela's house, she received us amazingly great.

Thank you for everything!!

  Comments: This was our first experience with AirBnB and it couldn't have been better! Marcela was an outstanding host, communicating with us on a timely basis and meeting us downstairs upon our arrival. The large, comfortable room with private bath was exactly as expected. Very quiet! Plenty of closet space too! Marcela was very respectful of our privacy, and we had the freedom to come and go as we pleased. Use of the kitchen was limited which was no problem for us. We made coffee in the morning, then were on our way. The neighborhood is extremely convenient to Lincoln Center and Columbus Circle for public transport. We would absolutely stay here again. A fantastic experience!

• Reviewer: Cynthia

  Comments: It was a pleasure staying at Marcela's beautiful apartment. The apartment looked just like the pictures and the room was very spacious and with its own private bathroom. Marcela was a great hostess and went above and beyond to ensure I was having a good stay and felt comfortable. The building is conveniently located, just a few blocks from the Time Warner. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone who's staying in the city for a few days or for an extended stay. Marcela is very respectful of your privacy and is very kind and friendly. Thank you Marcela for making me feel at home!!

  Comments: The host canceled this reservation 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

• Reviewer: Monica

  Comments: The apartment, and building are immaculate. The room is huge with great views and lots of light. The location was great. Marcela was a pleasure. I highly recommend.

• Reviewer: Philippe

  Comments: This was an excellent and very comfortable stay in Midtown Manhattan. The room is spacious and very clean and so is the private bathroom. The view towards Amsterdam Ave is great. Marcela was a friendly and gracious hostess. She goes out of her way to make her guests feel welcome. The excellent location of Marcella's apartment is a major plus: close to Columbus Circle, Central Park, Broadway, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, MoMa, Fifth Avenue ... Pretty much ideal for me. I'll be happy to stay here again on my next trip to NYC.

  Comments: It was an absolute pleasure living at Marcela's gorgeous apartment. The building is very new and clean. It is also located in a great neighbourhood ; very safe and quiet ; Duane Reade just around the corner ; a few minutes walk to Time Warner and subway to everywhere in Manhattan. The actual room is as great as seen in the pictures expect the atmosphere is much better. With huge space plus private bathroom, we think we had the most comfortable stay in Midtown Manhattan ever. We also love the living room and dining table which we spent a lot of time working and eating, too. Above all, Marcela was a great host during our 2 week stay. She gave us a lot of privacy and always there when we needed her. She is very lovely and friendly. We had a very good time talking with her every day and night. If I have a chance to come to New York again, I would definitely stay with Marcela. Until that time, I highly recommend this place to anyone who would like to have the most comfortable place to stay in the heart of New York.

  Comments: logement impeccable, très bien situé, calme

• Reviewer: Victoria

  Comments: Marcela was a wonderful host, the room is true to the pictures, extremely spacious and impeccably clean, indeed a home away from home. It's in a great neighbourhood and within walking distance to Lincoln Center and Columbus Circle. Marcela stays in the same apartment but has her own room and bathroom, so you have your own privacy but at the same time she is super hospitable and will make sure everything is going well for you, sharing a travelers tip or two which was helpful for tourists like us. Our best Airbnb experience thus far!

• Reviewer: Kenric

  Comments: Marcela has a great host. Very accommodating, and excellent communication. The room was just as described and very clean. The location was perfect, with easy access to the subway. Would definitely stay again!

• Reviewer: Luís

  Comments: I stayed with Marcela for 1 month. She received me very well and was always available when I needed. For sure, one of the best hosts I have had on Airbnb. The room is big. The bed is a king size extremely comfortable. The private bathroom had everything I needed and is inside the room. Perfect! The rest of the apartment is amazing. In the living room there is a large tv screen, a big table perfect for meals or for seat with your computer and doing some work. The location is perfect for both, business or visiting the city. Subway lines 1, A, C, B, and D, are at a 5m walking distance. Central park is at a 7m walking distance. Whole foods is nearby the subway station. There are also lots of restaurants nearby the apartment.

  Comments: Впервые решила рискнуть и воспользоваться сервисом airbnb. Не прогадала, судьба подарила мне встречу с Марселой. Комната с ванной удобная и чистая, такая как на фотографии. Дом новый и безопасный. Район тихий, но при этом метро и центр близко. Хозяйка очень гостеприимная и милая в общении, в первый день моего пребывания провела мне краткую экскурсию по ближайшим местам и показала где можно вкусно и недорого поесть, а потом мы с ней подружились. Буду скучать по ней и мечтаю вернуться. Рекомендую от души, особенно одиноким путешественницам.

• Reviewer: Yoav

  Comments: Marcela was a great host. Super friendly and helpful. I stayed for an entire month and felt very comfortable coming "home" after a long day at work. The bedroom and bathroom were super clean and look just like the photos on the website. Finding a good airbnb in Manhattan can be tricky and I can whole-heartedly recommend Marcela's place.

  Comments: The room was excelent.- The neighbourhood is very good.- Marcela is a very good host.-

• Reviewer: Anne

  Comments: Marcela est une hôtesse charmante et attentionnée. L'appartement de 2 chambres, impeccable, haut de gamme et moderne, est situé dans un luxueux immeuble récent (2010) d'une quinzaine d'étages. La chambre est parfaitement propre, vaste, très bien insonorisée et décorée dans un style classique. La salle de bain privative avec baignoire est également impeccable. Le lit (king size) est très confortable. A 2 blocks de Colombus Circle / Broadway / Central Park, l'appartement est formidablement situé, près du métro, des commerces, de restaurants et coffee shops tout en étant au calme. Marcela est une hôtesse à la fois prévenant et discrète, tout à fait disposée à vous faire bénéficier de sa connaissance de NYC sans jamais se montrer intrusive. Je suis enchantée de mon séjour chez elle.

  Comments: This is one of the best Airbnb listings that I have stayed at. The pictures do no justice to the room and accommodations. The room is very big, as is the bathroom. Marcela keeps things super clean. The neighborhood is great. Marcela is a wonderful person. One thing that is not mentioned in the listing is that there is reasonably priced parking right in the building. I will be back the next time I am in NYC

• Reviewer: Kathy

  Comments: The host did an amazing job of making me feel welcome in her home. The description and listing was very accurate to the apartment. The location was great and I felt very safe. I had no problems in getting anywhere or finding items I needed.

• Reviewer: Andrea

  Comments: Sono stato a casa di Marcela per 3 mesi ed è stato come trascorrere tre mesi a casa nonostante i 6,000 chilometri di distanza! L’appartamento è stupendo e la stanza è più bella che in foto, molto grade, letto immenso e bagno nuovissimo. Ero libero di fare quello che volevo a qualsiasi orario, compreso l’uso cucina. Appartamento molto pulito ed ordinato. Zona ottima per muoversi a NYC, silenziosa e molto sicura (anche a tarda notte). Marcela è una splendida persona molto gentile e disponibile fin da prima del mio arrivo. Mi ha aiutato in tutto durante la mia permanenza a New York e ha sempre risposto a tutte le mie domande! Raccomando a tutte le persone che vogliono spendere il proprio tempo a New York poiché un alloggio come questo fa apprezzare ancora di più la città.

  Comments: Ich habe das erste Mal bei Airbnb ein Zimmer gebucht und bei Marcela den Hauptgewinn getroffen. Marcela hat mich herzlich empfangen und mit ein paar "feinen Sachen" überrascht. Das Zimmer war riesig gross für NY und sehr schön eingerichtet mit einem bequemen Bett und einem sehr sauberen Bad. Überhaupt ist die ganze Wohnung sehr sauber, was in NY auch nicht selbstverständlich ist! Das ich die Waschmaschine benutzen durfte war super und angenehm. Ich habe mich sofort wohl gefühlt und auch das ruhige Domizil genossen. Marcela ist eine sehr liebenswürdige Frau und immer hilfsbereit wenn man es braucht. Sie spricht sogar Deutsch und es macht Freude sich mit ihr zu unterhalten. Ihr Hund Linda ist sehr ruhig und anständig und gut erzogen. Die Lage war für mich perfekt und in nur 15 min. zu Fuss ist man bei einem grossen Subway. Ich hatte eine tolle Zeit und kann ihre Unterkunft nur empfehlen.

  Comments: Marcela is an incredibly gracious, welcoming and warm host. Her apartment is impeccably clean, modern and comfortable. It is clear that she takes pride in hosting people and keeping the apartment in excellent condition. The room itself is spacious, comfortable and has everything one would need. Having a private bathroom with awesome shower pressure is fantastic. The apartment's proximity to Central Park, the West Side Highway and Columbus Circle make it an central and very convenient location, yet the apartment location still avoids the noise / craziness that is common in the city. I cannot recommend this listing enough.

• Reviewer: Rukmini

  Comments: Great place. Super close to Central Park and all touristy things. Marcela is a wonderful host.

• Reviewer: Marise

  Comments: The perfect location to get around NY. Great sized room and private bath was the winner for me. Laundry in house, lovely hostess.

• Reviewer: Lauren

  Comments: Marcela was a lovely, very clean and tidy host. She was super accommodating with my very late night check in and also receiving 2 packages for me prior to my arrival of a months stay. However what I did find difficult was the sleeping arrangement as the other room was also booked out. I understood that the host would sleep in her ‘home office’ if this was the case, however, did not anticipate it to be the lounge area with a screen for privacy, about 2 meters from the kitchen. This made it very awkward making/getting food or being outside of the room in general as not to disturb - having to be overly cautious about sounds and light. The host was vary particular about how things were kept and operated - this included such things as strict recycling regime and wearing slippers or jandals inside- so if you aren’t prepared to accomodate then perhaps reevaluate. Also the rooms were definitely not soundproof as I could hear my tv through the wall to the kitchen, which was just something to be aware of. Overall, a lovely building and apartment however, not going to be ideal if you are uncomfortable in more shared spaces especially for the price.

  Comments: Pros: - The room itself was spacious - Well furnished with its own private bath - There is a doorman 24/7 - High Ceilings - Towels + Toiletries were provided - Marcela did a good job of making sure the room was clean - There was free Hulu on the TV - Well lite room - Quiet neighborhood Cons: - The room is not as quiet as advertised. There is an AC unit right outside the window. Also, the walls are not soundproof as you could hear the TV from the kitchen. - The host is very particular about her house rules and can be overbearing at times. She has a very strict regimen and if not followed, can result in a lot of tension. - A package I had shipped to the address was thrown out and trashed and then returned without any compensation for the lost items (Approved to have it shipped there) - I was told I would be charged for overusing the AC even though it was supposed to be covered in the rent - I was not made aware that the host in the living room. It made getting and making food very awkward. - The owner had renovations done to my room while I was away, and the room smelled of a strong paint odor (although she said it was water-based paint, I was not made aware of any painting to be down prior to the renovations, and I had to sleep in that room the same day it was painted) Overall, the room was very nice. If you are not going to be in the apartment much, and only need a place to stay at night, I would recommend it. If you are uncomfortable in a shared space, I would not recommend it at all. It was more high maintenance than I was used to. Unfortunately, I had to move out early as when I addressed my concerns to the host and how uncomfortable I was, the situation escalated. Luckily, Airbnb refunded me for my stay and helped compensate for my hotel until I found a new home.

  Comments: El departamento de Marcela es muy acogedor, cómodo y con una excelente ubicación. Si bien la estación de subte más cercana es a unas 3 cuadras largas (que parecerían 7 normales) una vez que llegas a la estación podes transportarte a hacia todos lados sin inconvenientes. Inclusive, nosotros fuimos en transporte público desde el aeropuerto al departamento sin ningún problema. Marcela fue muy amable y servicial y estuvo siempre disponible por cualquier duda o consulta. Compartimos charlas muy divertidas y nos hizo recomendaciones geniales sobre su increíble ciudad ❤️. Lo más lindo de su departamento, es Linda, una perrita preciosa y muy dulce que sinceramente de lo tranquila que es, no se la siente. La habitación era muy linda, la cama grande y cómoda, al igual que el baño, y con una vista hermosa de la ciudad. En fin, todo precioso y genial! Sin dudas volvería a elegir el departamento de Marcela y lo recomiendo profundamente. Muchas gracias por todo! Disfrutamos enormemente nuestra estadía.
