New York Apartment - Studio in Harlem (NY-12976)

Located in Central Harlem, New York City, this fully furnished alcove studio can be found on the top floor of a late 19th century 3-story walk-up brownstone. This floor was converted into two autonomous studios from four previous rooms composing this unit, while the owners still reside on the lower floors. The main entrance and the stairways will then be shared with the owners and the other studio tenant, and a common area on the parlor level welcomes any of the tenants to relax for a moment.

The first room you see upon entering is the living area and its window giving south, overlooking the nearby street. Following there the bright and snazzy colors that provide lively features to the whole room you can gain access to the sleeping alcove, where a full-sized bed is waiting for you. You will certainly enjoy the air conditioning that cools the apartment, or, in the winter, an electric fireplace to feel cozy; there's also easy chairs to relax on and a closet for storage. The separate kitchen has amenities such as a coffee maker and a toaster oven and hot plates. The apartment also has a WiFi Internet connection running during your stay.

This apartment, being situated in the historic landscape of Harlem in Manhattan, an area that has gone through a significant renaissance which still has hints of its previous era, you will be in the center of a vibrant jazzy community combined with classic brownstones and historic buildings. You can still dine in fine restaurants as near as 5 blocks away, such as Chez Lucienne where you will find an authentic touch of French cuisine, or Mobay New York for the Indian equivalent. To get an approach to the culture behind the area, just walk to the nearby Studio Museum in Harlem (3 blocks) or take a stroll along Morningside Park (3 blocks) to have an overview of the Columbia University and its collegiate atmosphere.

Please note that the steps in this building are a bit steep.

To travel around the city, the 4 stations within 8 blocks will provide you with the A/B/C/D and 2/3 lines to move towards downtown Manhattan or north towards the Bronx.

Please note that the owner lives in this brownstone and their dog and cat have access to the common areas of the building such as the entry and the stairs. But rest assured, they are certainly not allowed on your floor.

Please also note that this is a non-smoking apt.
