Neighborhood Overview: The neighborhood is fantastic- we are steps away from Riverbank State Park, where there is a pool, all sorts of sports fields and picnic space, plus stunning views of the George Washington Bridge and lower Manhattan. The neighborhood has been growing over the last few years, and there are a ton of cool restaurants, coffee shops and bars within walking distance. Not to mention we are right near Columbia University, and a short walk away from Central Harlem, a thriving cultural and historic part of New York City that is not to be missed!

Notes:

Transit: We are right off the 1 train (at the bottom of the same street where you exit), and it only takes about 20 minutes to get to Times Square from where we are.

  • Reviewer: Patrick

    Comments: Carlyn was amazing! I had a great time staying with her and her roommates, who were all very courteous, respectful and welcoming. She was prompt and efficient in communicating with me about my arrival and departure, and the apartment itself exceeded all my expectations. It's very spacious and conveniently located just one block from a subway entrance and right across the street from Riverside park. From the subway, the 1 train goes straight to Times Square and downtown, while the park is adjacent to the Hudson River providing some spectacular sunset views. All in all, I had an excellent experience here and highly recommend staying with Carlyn.

  • Reviewer: Mae

    Comments: We have a comfortable stay at Carlyn's place. Host itself is very accommodating and make us feel at home. Location is good near to subway train 1. Definitely, will recommend to other Airbnbners and will come back again.

  • Reviewer: Helena

    Comments: Carlyn and her roommates are the best! Such a great energy in the apartment, everyone is friendly and easy going, huge space, The room is big with a very comfortable queen size bed, with air conditioner, fully equipped kitchen with full access to it, private bathroom, everything is really clean and neat. The location is very convinient and perfect to see the sunset next to Hudson River at riverside park. The subway station right at the corner, 20 min from Midtown, time square. The area is full of restaurants, groceries shops, pharmacy, etc. I highly recommend this apt! You won't get any better at such great price!

  • Reviewer: Andres

    Comments: Everybody in the house were awesome (Carlyn, Fred and CJ) they were so nice with my wife and I the simply make you feel like home... This is the place that you should get in NYC

  • Reviewer: Shana

    Comments: My friend and I had a wonderful stay with Carlyn! Her apartment is absolutely gorgeous and could not be more comfortable. Carlyn and Fred were incredibly welcoming and we had a great time chatting with them. The room is large and comfortable and we felt completely at home. Highly recommended!

  • Reviewer: Jose

    Comments: It was our first time using Airbnb and we had a great experience. The house was exactly as the description and Carlyn was a fantastic host. The house was clean and quiet, located close to the Subway, supermarkets and shops. We arrived late at night because our flight was delayed and she was waiting with dinner ready for us, which was very appreciated. About New York, it is an amazing place to spend your holidays. I highly recommend the city and Carlyn´s place.

  • Reviewer: Michael

    Comments: We stayed in NYC for a week and had a really great time at Carlyn's. Not only is the apartment beautiful and clean, it is also perfectly situated with the subway right around the corner.

  • Reviewer: Maki

    Comments: They were really kind and friendlly. The room was comfotable, large and super clean.

  • Reviewer: Felicia

    Comments: Wonderful stay at Carlyn's apartment. Her housemates were very friendly and welcoming. Carlyn did everything she could to ensure we had a great stay! The apartment itself is beautiful.. very spacious, super clean, and it felt like home right away. It's located right on the 1 subway line so you can travel downtown in 15-25 mins! Definitely recommend.

  • Reviewer: Celina

    Comments: From the moment I booked this place I knew it was a gem from the interactions I had with Carlyn. She is the most organized and detail oriented host that I have encountered to date. The Apt. is phenomenal. SUPER clean, spacious, trendy, modern and ultra comfy. Our room was huge, with beautiful big windows, clean and comfy sheets and pillows. Our bathroom was great and we loved having access to the kitchen for before dinner drinks and snacks. The locations is fantastic. We drove from Canada and there was plenty of street parking plus the subway is literally a minute away - BONUS! The housemates were really social and made us feel at home, giving us tips and helping us with any questions we had during our stay. All and all this place is a true gem! We will probably come more often just because this apt. is just that fantastic!

  • Reviewer: Barbara

    Comments: We stayed for 8 days at Carlyn's apt. Everything was wonderful - we were warmly welcomed and Carlyn was always available for questions. The location was great and we were able to travel to downtown in 25 mins. The apt. was clean and the kitchen was always available for cooking or preparing food. Restaurants, and quality grocery stores all near by.

  • Reviewer: Thais

    Comments: Carlyn and her roommates were super welcoming and made us feel like we were at home! Her apartment is located really close to the subway and that was a plus!

  • Reviewer: Tony

    Comments: Carlyn et Fred nous ont très bien accueillis en nous mettant à l'aise avec un excellent repas. Après un tour du propriétaire et leur départ, nous avons pleinement profité de cet appartement plutôt spacieux. Situé dans un quartier vivant, il est a proximité immédiate de la ligne 1 qui nous a permis de nous rendre au cœur de Manhattan en une vingtaine de minute. Seul petit bémol, nous avions deux personnes présentes dans l'appartement... discrètes mais présentes quand même. Merci à Carlyn et Fred pour leur côté chaleureux. Nous recommandons donc leur appartement.

  • Reviewer: Megan

    Comments: My boyfriend and I only stayed at Carlyn's place for two nights, but it was wonderful. The description was accurate. It was actually better than anticipated. She left a little basket of fruit, a NYC touring guide, soap and shampoo, etc. in the room for us. Her home is very clean and cozy. She and her roommates were super friendly and welcoming. They were always willing to offer helpful information on the city. The neighborhood is safe and is right on the water with the metro at the end of the block. Parking was free, easy to find, and right outside her apartment. We were later arriving in NYC than expected, but Carlyn was perfect accommodating to our needs. I would stay there again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for a place to stay in NYC.

  • Reviewer: Damiano

    Comments: Wonderful experience, one of the best found on airbnb. Carlyn has been a very careful host (also her flat mates are very friendly). Her home is highly confortable, clean, elegant and modern. The kitchen has a beautiful view on the Hudson river. The neighborhood is safe and the subway station is distant 50m from the building. Highly recommended.

  • Reviewer: Richard

    Comments: Carolyn's apartment appealed to us because of its proximity to our daughter's family's apartment Abe Carlyn's great reviews. Our experience was great, as well. Getting there was so easy with the apartment just one block from the 1 Subway line 137th Street station. Her apartment mate, Fred, welcomed us with a fruit basket, keys, and showed us around. We came and went as we wished generally to visit family, but also to enjoy a dinner out and a concert at Carnegie Hall. Our hosts were very accommodating giving us access to their kitchen for breakfast. We bought our own food for breakfast at the nearby and outstanding Fairway market. On our last day with lots of rain she offered to let us borrow her umbrella. A great stay; we expect to return.

  • Reviewer: Richard

    Comments: This was our 2nd stay with Carlyn in this apt. Everything went well. Carlyn is a great host.

  • Reviewer: Mario

    Comments: Die Unterkunft war sehr gut und so wie im Inserat beschrieben. Die Küche bot alles was man braucht. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt. Carlyn und ihre Mitbewohner haben sich sehr um uns gekümmert und waren immer hilfsbereit. Sehr sympathischer Host. Die Gegend war gut, wir haben uns sicher gefühlt. Die Subway war nah bei und die Sehenswürdigkeiten gut zu erreichen.

  • Reviewer: Annelies

    Comments: Goede plaats om te verblijven. We werden hartelijk ontvangen. De kamer was heel netjes. Het bed sliep prima. Er is een zeer luxe gym aanwezig in de kelder van het gebouw. Carlyn en haar roommates geven desgewenst nuttige informatie over New York. Dichtbij de subway en winkels. Beslist een aanrader.

  • Reviewer: Anupam

    Comments: I had a wonderful experience staying in Harlem NYC in the good company of Carlyn and her friends. Carlyn was just great, super hospitable and helped me with so much.. Just like a family actually. The location is super convenient with easy access to the subway and getting anywhere wasn't an issue at all. Thanks for a great time Carlyn. Highly Recommended!!!

  • Reviewer: Costanza

    Comments: Carlyn è stata un ospite eccellente. Gentile e disponibile, lei e i suoi coinquilini ci hanno fatto sentire subito a nostro agio e sono stati disponibili ad aiutarci e darci consigli ogni volta che ne abbiamo avuto bisogno. L'appartamento è molto bello: spazioso, ordinato e pulito; e la camera è confortevole e luminosa! Si trova ad appena un paio di minuti a piedi da una fermata della metropolitana, con cui è poi semplice raggiungere ogni altra zona di Manhattan. Esperienza estremamente positiva, lo consiglio vivamente!

  • Reviewer: Tylen

    Comments: Everything in the apartment was better than listed. Carlyn and her roommates were extremely welcoming and i felt right at home! The apartment was well kept, very spacious and centrally located. The welcome basket was a fine touch on an amazing stay, i would definitely recommend staying to here to anyone visiting New York City.

  • Reviewer: Kelley And David

    Comments: My husband and I stayed with Carlyn for two nights and it was great! We were so busy so we were gone a lot but it was clean and very comfortable! The location was great and accessible to downtown. We would love to stay there again!

  • Reviewer: Nathanael

    Comments: Everything was exactly as expected, if not better! Carlyn was extremely friendly and welcoming, and it was great getting to interact with both her and her roommates. The apartment was in a really convenient location, and I would definitely stay here again if I was ever in the city.

  • Reviewer: Ilene

    Comments: Staying at Carlyn's apartment was a complete pleasure. It is quite large and well equipped. All 4 young professionals who call it home were very welcoming. We felt very comfortable using all the common spaces. Very clean as well. Smelled good also due to Carlyn's love of baking.Transport on the 1 train (one block away) takes you anywhere you want to go. No worries about neighborhood, very safe.

  • Reviewer: Michelle

    Comments: The room is very clean and tidy. The neighbourhood is very interesting. It's very easy for us to access subway. Carlyn and her roommates are very considerate and helpful. We enjoyed our stay at her place.

  • Reviewer: Jonathan

    Comments: After just sleeping 2 days, it was like at home, with a big bed and an amazing decoration and... Well, it is definitely better than my home xD! Hope to see the host next time because the flat was so amazing. Wish her the best :D

  • Reviewer: Simon

    Comments: Our stay at Carlyn's place was perfect :) the apartment is nice and clean and all the people we met were really friendly and happy to help. Also it's really easy to get there and nicely located near the river a little outside of New York. I would recommend this apartment to everybody who wants a cheap clean and quiet place in Manhattan Thanks Carlyn

  • Reviewer: Anna

    Comments: Карлин замечательная хозяйка. Приветливая, отзывчивая и тактичная. У нее очень чистый дом, просторная комната, все на высшем уровне.

  • Reviewer: Ying

    Comments: If you are looking for something cozy, practical and convenient (with subway and bus stop just a few steps away!), and also somebody with good manners, responsible, and helpful...VOILÀ! You have found the right place and the right person =) everything went excellently well during our stay. We were a bit worried before our flight since we were so busy at that time that we forgot to confirm with Carlyn our arrival, but hopefully Carlyn and her roomates (Hilary, Hannah, and CJ) have been so kind and helpful that we arrived without any inconvenience! Carlyn even managed to host my additional friend with only 2 days prior-notice! She is also very responsive and dedicated to ensure your comfort even at her busiest times (since she usually works late, such a hard worker!), so I'll give her two thumbs up for being able to manage everything so well and also all the good attention that she gave us. Note: pls be aware of the tempting dessert/food that you may find in the kitchen! since Carlyn loves to bake and cook, you may probably find (sometimes) a light scent of vainilla cinnamon brown sugar in the house, which we found it completly lovely! Thank you Carlyn for being part of our first fantastic experience in NY! =)

  • Reviewer: Nadia

    Comments: My sister and I stayed with Carly and her roommates for 2 nights in September to attend a cousins wedding. We were looking for a nice place to stay - close to the wedding venue and also easily accessible by car. We were so please with everything. The room is quite big and ultra comfortable. The apartment is spacious and clean. The hosts were very nice and helpful. I only have great things to say and could go on for a while. The location was perfect to us - so close to the subway + free parking spaces. It's the total package. With definitely stay there again. Thanks Carly ;))

  • Reviewer: Fiona

    Comments: Carlyn is a very responsive and a wonderful host. I loved the homey atmosphere. Even though I did not get a chance to meet Carlyn in person but she made my stay very comfortable. Her friend Hilary was very helpful in making suggestions on where I can go for dinner. The house is clean and spacious located in a great area. A lovely kitchen with coffee, fruits, snacks available. There are two bathrooms, both are good size. Bedroom is spacious with queen size comfy bed. There are two windows one side is facing the riverside view. I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely recommend!!!

  • Reviewer: Alessio

    Comments: Carlyn e gli altri coinquilini sono stati accoglienti e cortesi, la casa è confortevole ed dotata di tutto il necessario per trascorrere una piacevole vacanza. E' esattamente come nelle foto, in una zona centrale e ben collegata al resto della città. Un' ottima possibilità di soggiornare in un appartamento newyorkese, con gente del posto ed entrare subito nell'atmosfera della città.

  • Reviewer: Mohammed

    Comments: Carlyn was a great host, her directions were very clear and the apartment felt like home. Great location it was very easy to get around the city with it being really close to a subway line. Would definitely recommend this listing for anyone looking to spend some time in NYC.

  • Reviewer: Woodson

    Comments: Nice room and comfortable bed, I love NYC!

  • Reviewer: Carson

    Comments: We had a great time here! The room was cozy, clean, and had an awesome view. Carolyn and her roommate were friendly and welcoming, and they helped us get some coffee ready in the morning. It was the perfect place to call home while we visited some friends in the city.

  • Reviewer: Pete

    Comments: Carlyn made my brother and I feel very welcome although we didn't actually have a chance to meet. We did get a chance to meet her roommates though and they did a great job of making us feel at home. Carlyn seems like a very busy person and as a consequence isn't around much, but despite this, communicated with us very well and we had no problems at all finding the place or getting settled. The apartment was exactly as it was listed, spacious, clean and has a nice view of the Hudson.

  • Reviewer: Rebeca

    Comments: I had a great time in New York. The apartment is nice apartment and It is located so close to the subway. The bedroom is big, comfortable and very clean. Carlyn and her friends are very friendly and welcoming. They help me with a early check in, and they made coffee for me in the morning! I loved the place and I would love to stay there again!

  • Reviewer: Mihae

    Comments: We stayed at Carlyn's place for two nights. The place was just as it was described on the listing. Carlyn was really fast getting back to us for any questions we had. The check-in and check-out was super easy. The neighbourhood is very nice and subway is really close by. It was a convenient, pleasant stay and we would definitely stay at Carlyn's again! Thanks so much for having us Carlyn!

  • Reviewer: Eduardo

    Comments: Before our arrival, Carlyn often kept contact and provided us with all the necessary information to get into their place. We had a great first impression: the apartament was so big, clean and organized and looked exactly as shown in the pictures. Carlyn was not there to receive us, but her (Hidden by Airbnb) welcomed us warmly and explained to us what we needed to know to feel just like home. I must give special thanks to Hannah, who was so dear and gentle, always carrying a smile on her face and prompt to help us at any request. The house has all it takes to make you feel comfortable. The fact that it has two bathrooms made things a lot easier and the kitchen is well equipped, even though we did not use it often. By the way, the bathrooms are so good! The shower was awesome! There is a metro station just at the end of the street, that takes you easily to downton. The location is still good, but don't expect to be in the heart of Manhattan. It takes around 20 minutes in subway to midtown and 30 to 40 to downtown. Our room was big, with enough room for the suitcases and we had a comfy bed. The lack of curtains with a blackout bothered me a bit, since i like to sleep in a complete dark. If you are a night person, or if you have light sleep you may have a bit of a problem, thus you can experience some noise from the outside. The fact that you have to cross the living room to walk to the bathroom is also something that bothered me a bit, because sometimes you don't want to be seen in pijamas or in a towel, or as a sleepwalk in the morning, lol. What i surely can say is that we felt like home and our hosts were awesome! Despite those small details that i mentioned, they were easily overcome by the gentleness of Carlyn and the other hosts. I would definitely stay there again. I left very early, without the chance to say goodbye and to thank you for our pleasant stay in NYC. Please don't think that i was indifferent to all your care toward us and i truly hope that you all get my message and sincere gratitude.

  • Reviewer: Moira

    Comments: The accommodations were exactly as described and having access to the lion's share of the apartment was very comforting. The host made herself available to us via cell phone. It felt like home away from home :)

  • Reviewer: Nayana

    Comments: Carolyn was not home during our stay but she made sure that we had all the information needed well in advance. Carly's roommates also helped us through queries and made us feel at home. We enjoyed our stay at Carlyn's place. Best things about the place: Location: Walkable distance to subway with easy access to grocery shops, delis and a beautiful riverside park. You can have a glimpse of the Hudson river from the bedroom, a luxury in New York city. Room: Room is spacious and tastefully decorated. Carlyn had towels and toiletries and even medicine for fever that saved me during our stay. Everything about the room was thoughtful and smartly done. Carolyn has an amazing collection of books and I enjoyed reading one of her books. It will be a unique memory of my stay there. House: The living room is spacious and great to relax at the end of a tiring day in NY. Watch out for: You need to walk past the living room to go to the shared bathrooms (yes there are two). Although it was slightly uncomfortable for us to begin with, we got used to it. There is not enough space to keep your stuff in the bedroom. So you would be mostly operating out of the suitcase.

  • Reviewer: Jenna

    Comments: Carlyn's place was lovely! And she and the other renters were very friendly and welcoming. The accommodations were all we expected (and more comfortable!). The location was great, as close as we would want to be to the museums and attractions, while still far enough away to feel removed from the noise and craziness. Staying here only added to our time in the city. I would highly recommend this listing!

  • Reviewer: Komal

    Comments: Carlyn was awesome!! We had all the information we needed, made us feel welcome, and the pictures were absolutely accurate. Beautiful home and beautiful people. Wish we could've met!! You made our trip to New York absolutely perfect! :)

  • Reviewer: Robert

    Comments: Carlyn was there to meet us when we arrived and offered us an orientation to the apartment and to the neighborhood. We were impressed by her warmth and friendliness. Since she left soon after for the weekend, we essentially had the apartment to ourselves. The bedroom was comfortable with an air conditioner and fan, the open kitchen/living room area was well-appointed and had a distant view of the water. The location was great; the subway and buses were a block or two away, there were many good restaurants within walking distance, and it was a vibrant but safe area. Parking was a breeze. We arrived on Friday afternoon, parked across the street, and didn't move it again until we left on Monday. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

  • Reviewer: Timothy

    Comments: The place was spotless. Since our room was at the far end of the hallway, it was very quiet. Our host was very gracious, although we only saw her once. The building is one block from the 1 train, so getting around is very easy. It was a very good value. We very much enjoyed our stay.

  • Reviewer: Ed

    Comments: Carlyn and her roommates were great! Easy access to the subway and on street parking. We spent most of our time in the city but enjoyed our conversations when we were all there together.

    Comments: Carlyn was a very nice host! She was very caring and communication with her was really good and quick. No problems at all. I felt really at home during my stay with Carlyn and her roommates. All if them were so nice!

  • Reviewer: Yuda

    Comments: Carlyn and her room mates are great hosts. They made everything to make us feel at home. They gave us directions, tips on where to go and they even offered to share their food with us. The aprtment is located in a very nice building by the river and is really close to the subway about 1 minute walking distance. It had two bathrooms and they were very clean all the time just like the rest of the apartment. Our bedroom was big enough to place our luggages. The bed was very comfotable. There was a bookshelf with NYC guides which were really useful as we weren't that prepared for our trip. The neighbourhood gets a little noisy in the mornings but it wasn't a problem for as we woke up early in the morning and hit the road. Carlyn was in touch with us all the time asking if we were ok. She even helped us to get our delivery on Amazon. She was a kind, friendly and caring host. I recommend anyone to stay at her place.

  • Reviewer: Natalie

    Comments: Everything was described exactly how it is! I would stay here again! We were hesitant sharing an apt b/c we were 2 single females and we absolutely loved staying here - felt safe and secure the whole stay!

  • Reviewer: Elizabeth

    Comments: Carlyn and her roommates were fantastic. They made us feel welcome and we enjoyed many great conversations. The apartment is comfortable, spacious and clean - quite special for NYC. It is accessible to downtown as well as to a wonderful green space along the riverside. We would definitely stay here again!

  • Reviewer: Tobias

    Comments: Thank you for the nice stay in NY. The apartment is great and clean. So is the washroom and the room as well. It's exactly like shown in the pictures. It's a 2min walk to the metro which is great for visiting Manhattan. Parking was bit tricky for us and took a while because of the street cleaning. I guess that's Manhattan. Carlyn and her roommates were very friendly and really wanted us to have a nice stay. Carlyn provided us with perfect instruction before we arrived (getting in, parking...) and definitely deserves the Superhost state.

  • Reviewer: Gerardo

    Comments: My entire experience/stay at Carlyns place was fantastic - from the the place itself, location, parking, access to public transportation, to a nice little south American restaurant "Flor de Broadway" right around the corner and last but most important the way Carlyn ensured I was very well taken care off... I could not ask for anything more!

  • Reviewer: Tim

    Comments: Carlyn is a wonderful host. We had a great stay in New York. Carlyn and her housemates are very friendly and whenever you have a question or want information, you can ask. They do everything to make your stay in NY comfortable. The appartment and the guest room are large and equipped cozily. The location of Carlyns appartment is close to a metro station, so the famous spots of NY are easy to reach. I would definitely look, if this place is available, whenever I come back. Thanks again for a wonderful stay in NY.

Desde el primer día que llegamos, fuimos muy bien recibidos e hicieron todo lo posible para que nos sintiéramos como en casa. En ningún momento sentimos que sobrábamos o que no era nuestro lugar, muy por el contrario, siempre nos sentimos muy cómodos. El departamento es aún mejor de lo que se aprecia en las fotos: es muy espacioso, con dos baños y todo estaba realmente limpio y ordenado. El barrio era muy tranquilo y seguro para llegar tarde en la noche. Se encuentra solo a una cuadra de la estación de metro, a corta distancia de los lugares más emblemáticos de Nueva York, y al lado de un parque muy bello. Carlyn y sus amigos son muy cariñosos, acogedores y de buena disposición, de verdad no queríamos irnos! Muchas gracias por recibirnos y hacernos parte de su encantador hogar. Definitivamente volveremos! Mil estrellas!

  • Reviewer: Collin

    Comments: Really enjoyed staying at Carlyn's place. The apartment is very modern, clean, and welcoming. Close to pubs, restaurants, and coffee shops, the location is removed from the crowds of midtown. But only a block away from the 1 line on the subway, it's only a few stops to Harlem or the Upper West Side (and easy to get anywhere in Manhattan!) Will look to Carlyn's place on future NYC trips!

    Comments: Mon copain et moi avons découvert NYC chez Carlyn. Carlyn nous a invité des le début à faire comme chez nous " my home is your home " , son appartement est très propre, spacieux et tres confortable. Il est situé à environ 200m de la station de métro. Nous avons passé une tres agréable semaine, merci beaucoup !

  • Reviewer: Samantha

    Comments: Carlyn's place is great! It's right by the subway, and only a 20 minute ride to Times Square and about 10 minutes to Central Park. Facilities were clean and we felt very welcome. The neighborhood is quiet at night. An excellent experience overall!

  • Reviewer: Bill

    Comments: What a great place to stay! Carlyn and David were great hosts and the room, as well as the larger apartment, was lovely - exactly as depicted, clean, comfortable and pleasant. I would recommend this place to anyone. Convenient transportation-wise, as well!

  • Reviewer: Robert

    Comments: Roomy and bright, comfortable bed, big comfortable public space, quiet residents, clean and modern facilities, friendly and engaging hosts, very close to Metro stops, on the river... and affordable. Carlyn has created a hassle-free, friendly, high-quality space for your visit to the city. It's a winner. I loved chatting with her and with some of her friends, having coffee and looking at the river, ample room for my gear in the bedroom, plenty of books on the shelves, having groceries/DuaneReade/deli/restaurant options within three minutes walk, and the easy metro access. Would certainly stay here again!

  • Reviewer: Alexa

    Comments: Carlyn's apartment was beautiful and totally worth the stay. She was very friendly and even had her roommate greet us when we got in at 2am! It was also super close to the 1 train, making it convenient to get around manhattan. If we come back, we will definitely stay here again.

    Comments: What a fabulous apartment with some great people. You all were so welcoming and accessible. Great location with all the vibrancy of Harlem and ease of transport. Would highly recommend the place to anyone looking for a great place and location while trawling the streets of New York City.

  • Reviewer: Sienna

    Comments: The place is a lot bigger than we thought ! We had our own bathroom and the others in the house were really nice and welcoming giving us some great info. The area is safe at all times and very easy to access the city by line 1. I would highly recommend this place!

  • Reviewer: Emily

    Comments: Carlyn and David's place is beautiful! Right by Riverside Park but also has easy access to downtown and a very short subway ride from Columbia University where I was posted for work! Everything was clean, the other tenants were quiet but friendly, and it was a relaxing haven away from bustling city life. Would recommend to all!

  • Reviewer: Katrin

    Comments: Mooie ruim appartement met 2 badkamers wij hadden eigenlijk onze prive badkamer. Alle voorzieningen WIFI ea waren er, ruime living waar je even kan zitten. Carlyn volgt alles super snel op en denkt mee na. De kamer waar wij sliepen was niet zo groot maar voldoende omdat je toch meer in de stad bent. Kleine details maken het fijn zoals leuke boeken en kleine verzorgingsproducten. Heel goed bed met goeie matras. Directe metro verbinding naar het centrum wel rekenen op een half uur transport tot Times Square. Veilige buurt met toch wat omgevingslawaai zeker zaterdagavond is het salsa feestje gezellig.

  • Reviewer: Nathan

    Comments: This is a great airbnb for NYC - just steps away from the 1 train or the Hudson River for a run/stroll! The room was clean and comfortable. The apartment was bright, clean, and spacious. The bathrooms were clean and modern. Our host was very accommodating and made us feel right at home. I would stay here again!

    Comments: Place comes 100% as advertised, cute, super clean room, very comfy bed, AC, plenty of space, quiet room, with bathroom right next door. The whole apartment is in top condition, conveniently located next to a subway stop and in a safe neighborhood, very close to the Hudson and City College of New York. Carlyn was super nice and always quick to respond. Communication before arrival was perfect. Highly recommended host and place!

    Comments: Exciting location in a part of Harlem with stimulating diversity. Carlyn made me very welcome. An excellent collection of books. A rare treat.

  • Reviewer: Terri

    Comments: Carlyn's place was perfect for my week stay in NYC. I was able to get to class quickly at Columbia Teacher's College. The subway was super close and apartment large and comfortable. The amenities were more than enough and laundry facility a plus. Directly across from the Riverside Park and lots of eating spots and local stores. I will consider their spot my next trip!

  • Reviewer: Joe

    Comments: Staying with Carlyn and Dave was so far above and beyond what would be expected. They are without a doubt the nicest people you will find on AirBnB. If you're open to it, Carlyn and Dave will treat you like family. And they take making you experience as positive as possible very seriously. And when it comes to the room itself, it is spotless. Everything is very clean, all throughout the bedroom and the apartment. There is an extra bed set and towels, an open closet with hangers, a bookshelf with all sorts of interesting reads and reference materials for your stay in NYC, and most importantly for my stay during the height of summer, a fully functional and powerful air conditioner. The bathroom was always clean, and best of all it is right next to the bedroom! Super convenient. The living room and kitchen area is super roomy, and if you're so inclined you can even use the kitchen as you see fit. Just remember to clean up after yourself folks! A nice tv with a great selection of streaming services through Amazon, including Netflix!! So many nights spent watching that. As for the location, there is just so much to do in the area. There are several parks right within walking distance, including Riverside Park across the street. There are also plenty of restaurants and bars along Broadway, or a short 15 minute walk to Central Harlem. Both City College and Columbia University are decent walk away. But best of all, the 1 subway train is right on the same block as the apartment, which really unlocks easy access to much of Downtown. All in all, my stay was a great experience, and I would highly recommend anybody looking to visit NYC to do the same and stay with Carlyn and Dave.

    Comments: Carlyn's place is a great place to stay. She and her roommates are very hospitable. The apartment is clean and the room is comfortable. It is conveniently located near the subway and a bus as well as a beautiful river walk. This was our second visit, that's how great it is!

  • Reviewer: Lee

    Comments: We loved the location - easy to access public transport and great to be near the Hudson. The apartment is spacious and welcoming.

  • Reviewer: Lauren

    Comments: House and room was exactly as the photos. Bed was comfortable for two and the A/C was working. Check-in was easy and we were able to let ourselves in and out throughout our stay. So incredibly close to the 1 subway train! Carlyn was not home when we stayed--only her roommates. Bathroom was very pretty but the shower handle is sensitive and switches between very hot or cold water. If you are a light sleeper, warning: there is constant loud music playing from cars or neighbors on this street. Another negative was that there was no 'parking on premises'. Difficult to find a spot to park near the home and please beware not to park near fire hydrants! We received a parking ticket for being 8 feet away from a fire hydrant in front of the home (supposed to be 10ft away). We are from Oregon and usually those things are painted or a sign is posted. Be sure to bring your measuring tape in case you want to be safe. We highly recommend Carlyn change the amenity status from 'parking on premises' to just 'street parking.'

    Comments: Acomodação muito boa! Tudo estava bem limpo e preparado na minha chegada. Foram muito prestativos quando precisei de alguma ajuda. A localização também é boa, fica praticamente na mesma quadra do metro mais próximo e a 1 parada do metro de onde se pega o ônibus para o aeroporto. Recomendo!!!!

    Comments: 駅から歩いて数分、とても便利な場所です。 部屋は清潔で、過ごしやすいのですが、外の騒音が大きかったことと、9月下旬の宿泊でしたが窓をしめていてもどこからか蚊が入ってきて、かゆさに悩まされました……。 Carlynに会えなくても、同居されている方とお話できてよかったです。

    Comments: Carlyn and Dave were gracious and friendly hosts that went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The apartment and room were impeccably clean and appointed with luxury bath items. The neighborhood felt very safe and was easy to navigate (subway at the end of the block). Dave and Carlyn gave great recommendations of where to eat and what to see. They even made us brunch one morning! Next time we are in New York, we will be sure to stay with Dave and Carlyn again.

    Comments: Como viajeros tuvimos una muy buena experiencia en la casa de Carlyn. El lugar siempre estuvo ordenado, limpio y el ambiente era agradable. El barrio está bastante bien ya que alrededor uno tiene toda clase de servicios a unos pocos pasos, ya sean lugares para comer, comprar refrescos, farmacias, entre otros. El acceso al transporte público también es destacable ya que justo en la esquina se encuentra una estación de metro que directamente te llevará a Times Square, te aproximará a Central Park o a cualquier atracción turística en un mismo trayecto sin necesidad de hacer combinaciones demasiado complicadas. Carlyn siempre tuvo una buena disposición para ayudarnos en caso de cualquier problema que tuviéramos. Te ofrecerá soluciones y ayuda para que tengas una buena experiencia de viaje.

    Comments: I’ve stayed at many Airbnbs and some hosts and places are just meant to be Airbnbs; Carlyn’s place is definitely one of those. The set up of the place is perfect. Large, private room right next to a bathroom. Additionally, excellent touches like a welcome sign and daily reminders that fresh coffee is made. Every roommate was super friendly and kept explaining to treat their place like it’s your home. Overall, this was a great experience. I would absolutely stay again. Thanks, Carlyn and roommates!
