New York Apartment - Studio in Upper West Side (NY-14820)

The apartment lived up to expectations, it was comfortable, clean, quiet and extremely well located.

The apartment is very well located close to Central Park and Broadway Avenue. However, the street is very noisy and the window insulation is not sufficient to attenuate noise pollution. The building is pretty well maintained and clean. Unfortunately, there is an unpleasant smell of cold tobacco in the corridors. The bedroom is pretty comfortable, and the bathroom is large. However, we had problems with the heaters. The apartment is equipped with central heating. There was a tropical heat in the bedroom and we were unable to lower the temperature of the heaters. One of them was giving off steam and was leaking, which made the floor warp. Sufficient for a short stay but not for longer.

It was difficult to get my security deposit back. They promised it will take 60 days, but after the deadline I had to constantly call/text them for a couple of weeks in order for them to actually start the return process. In the result, however, I received my security deposit back.

The apartment itself is fine. There's nothing too special about it. It's not located in the best neighborhood, but it's very close to a B/C subway station and Central Park.

Gabriel and the cleaning service people were super friendly and helpful. I consistently smelled smoke in the building, the mattress provided was disgusting (I had to get a mattress topper), the heater was hardly ever on so I was always cold the last few weeks, and having to log into the wifi every time was annoying, but otherwise, I was happy with the experience!

Very good. We are very pleased with the apartment. Minor drawback: booking process is too complicated (too much paperwork to fill in for a one-month furnished rental).

I was there for two months completing a fellowship and this location offered convenience of being nearby the area of my work. Overall the condition was above average and if I needed to, I will reapply for an apartment again.

Location was wonderful, right next to the C line. The fees for all of the little services were not worth it. The bathroom was great though. And it was safe and had all I needed for a 3 month training program in the city

i had a great stay, the studio was clean, quiet and nicely furnished. I recommand it.

This apartment is equipped with basic amenities, but it's perfect for short/medium stays. The weekly cleaning service is necessary, and I found it very convenient.
The location is excellent, right next to a subway station. The area looks safe and even when I walked around at night I've never seen any danger or suspicious situation.
The only problem was the frequent noise coming from the street at night, which often prevented me from sleeping.

The area is really safe

The apartment's location is very good, very close to Central Park, subway station, whole Foods, laundry and other shops. The apartment is comfortable, clean, with good lighting and central heating. I was staying at the 5th floor and there is no lift, but this was no problem for me. I had no problem with noise during my stay. The owner is kind and receptive, as well as employees.

It was everything I needed when I stayed in NYC for a few months - nothing more, nothing less. Would've been nice to have a bit more space, but still fine. My smoke alarm ran out of batteries early on - I asked a couple of times for a battery replacement, to no avail. Not a big deal though. The staff are alright, they do their jobs.

The apartment served our needs fine. The location was a little troubling as it was across the street from housing projects where there was activity throughout the night. However our experience overall was a good one.

The Apartment was as advertised. A bit noisy and no elevator (which was disclosed); an overall good experience.

Great for a short stay!

The building and apartment were clean and in a great location close to transportation. I would recommend this apartment building and would definitely stay here again.

The apartment is affordable, convenient and lovely people running the building.

The other people made a lot of noise in the hallway. Always at
night.

The worst apt never got ....Nothing about New york Habitat
I booked 2 floor I got 1floor. Maneger rude he could only be a clenar rooms
impolite arrogantNever repeat an experience like that ..to forget e never back there
I used living there when it was a Hostel It was much better and kind employers.
I used staying on the suite al the 5 floor but also only 2 bedrooms at the first and second floor with bathroom outside and kitchen downstairs.For getting my parcels I had to wait in the hall taking agreement with people who sent me parcels.Nobody in the business only some days also the Postman told me that.
that

Everything was good and NYhabitat were very helpfull. The
man, Gabriel, who worked in the building was also very nice and helpfull.

i love this apartment...if gabriele have another room in this apartment i will love to stay for the next whole month ..i love the location and the sorrounding areas ...i love the subway ...and i inlove with this central park area ..i wish i could not move from this area ....but unfortunately my budget is not allow me to stay in this beautifull heavenly area...

although the room was quite small ...and some times i feel discomfort in my breath....and sometime when i cook in the room the whole room was filled with the smell and smoke ..this is the only disadavntage ...

i also kept this house very clean ...and although they came to clean weekly ..i myself personally clean my room on daily basis ...

i wish central park people can also offer some low budget rentals in this area as well ...

Gabriel, the owner, was always helpful. The apartment itself was also great. However the cleanliness could be improved.

The other negative was the A/C that was only installed at the end of May, although it was already much too hot in the apartment before then. The controlled heating system was also problematic. Because of it, even on cold days, the apartment was much too hot.

All in all though, a conveniently located apartment to be recommended.

To tell the truth, my experience was excellent. Even though the apartment was not very well equipped (a moka pot and a blender would be nice to make more things at the kitchen besides fried eggs and frozen food), it was very good for it's price, located at a privilieged spot on the upper west side, with very quiet surroundings and near populated avenues and transportation at the same time.

One very favorable point it's the bathroom: it's modern, tidy and relatively spaceful, which is a very important thing when traveling. The manager and his staff was very nice and gentle.

To say, the place is perfect for a student or a young couple not looking not for excesive amenities but a nice and economic place to stay while visiting that wonderful city.

Very basic.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and was sad to leave as the room and apartment building were clean and comfortable and management was friendly, efficient and accommodating.

Dangerous location. Fights, discussions occur every night and other flats are occupied by homeless or people who are drug addicts. No heating.

Apartment came with everything I expected it to. The room had not been cleaned since the last person occupied, i.e. dirty bed linens and towels. In general the apartment was fine.

It met my expectations, the apartment is very well maintained, newly remodeled and the appliances worked without any problem. the bathroom was very spacious and comfortable, clean and with nothing wrong. The wi-fi internet service could be improved, very slow in my opinion, as well as the cleanliness of the building itself. Otherwise highly recommended for its value for money, location (in front of Central Park and a subway station on the same street).

the appartements were supposed to be selfcatered, but there was almost nothing in the kitchen. just two plates, two forks and two cups, not even a cutting knife! there were no water glasses. when I asked for a sponge to clean the dishes I was told that they don't provide this. so I had to buy a lot of things myself. the apparments was not fully furnished on arrival, and I was asked to let them do works in it during my stay. (then it got dusty from the works, but nobody cleaned afterwards). the TV cord was too short, so you could only keep the TV on the desk and then there was no space for anything else on it. the only chair was broken. they wouldn't change towels or sheets once (in a 4 week stay!), and there was no cleaning at all. not even while the building was under construction (and there was a lot of dust, noise and dirt in the hallways!). the lobby was closed all the time, and the clerks from the desk were very nice, but never there and could just tell us, that they don't have, don't do, don't know.

The apartment was indeed well renovated. Very comfortable. Only setback was perhaps the cable TV which wasn't working very well.

Overall the apartment was still excellent - free wifi, extremely convenient with subway 3 seconds away n central park across the road, nearby convenience shops etc, safe vicinity.

Particularly, I would like to commend the services of it's concierge/reception services (Michael)- very efficient and helpful. I would certainly return to stay in this apartment.
