Stay in the always entertaining neighborhood of Harlem, Manhattan during your NYC vacation. This studio apartment for rent is at West 137th Street and Edgecombe Street giving you access to many parks, universities, and delicious restaurants. This vacation rental is close to the bustle of Midtown from the 135 Street / Saint Nicholas Avenue station, but has enough going on nearby that you might not even want to go south of Central Park.
This studio vacation rental offers a cozy getaway for your time in New York City. A daybed doubles a couch has a trundle underneath which can make it into a king size bed, perfect for two people. This apartment is decorated in a traditional style with beautiful hardwood floors and a decorative fireplace. A small kitchen is featured with an oven and dishwasher. Laundry is also included in the accommodation, a rare luxury for this city.
Harlem is a vibrant neighborhood that has undergone a second renaissance in recent years. This neighborhood was the home to many famous artists such as Langston Hughes and Augusta Savage who were essential to shaping African American culture and politics in New York. Throughout the neighborhood, you can witness the past, present, and future of the black community. Cultural roots are evident in Ethiopian restaurants such as the charming Abyssinia (0.2mi/300m)) around the corner from the apartment or Jerkyz (0.3mi/550m) for Jamaican chicken and yucca fries any time of day. The Apollo Theater (0.7mi/1.1km) is an excellent venue to see some of the greatest comedians and bands performing today. Visit the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (0.5mi/750m) to glimpse into the future and complexities of this culture in the United States. No matter where you go, you will leave this vacation having fed your stomach, mind, and soul.

The Host was above excellent and very friendly! She even mailed a shirt that I left in the washer/dryer! The studio was great! Loved the kitchen because it was actually functional with counter-space. The bathroom was remodeled and spacious for a NYC studio. |

Excellent value for money! The apartment is absolutely spotless and the owners care about their guests well-being. We had a very warm welcome, tips on directions and little attentions like ingredients to prepare breakfast. |

We stayed for 1 week late August / early September 2011 in this Harlem vacation rental. We were really happy. The accommodation is very nice, very well equipped (washing machine, dishwasher etc...) and is comfortable. It would be even better to have a sofa bed, as the double bed is made of two single beds close together. |

Apart from the great accommodation and the easy paperwork, we also appreciated that the owner provided us with a lot of helpful information on NYC. We will gladly come back!!! :) |

The apartment is ideally located with the subway only a few steps away and a street with a Duane Reade and a bank and various stores a few steps away in the other direction. 137th street is safe and quiet and the apartment is wonderful. It is very clean and has all the amenities necessary, incl. a washer/dryer, a large fridge and stove and all kitchen appliances you need. |
