Alcove Studio Vacation in Upper West Side (NY-14320) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alcove Studio Vacation in Upper West Side (NY-14320) |
This unique furnished loft studio vacation rental is located on the Upper West Side, an uptown neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. The building has its own washer and dryer in a laundry room. The accommodation is located on the top floor of a 19th Century Church rectory, with original stained glass window right in the living room! The apartment features 19th century architecture, vaulted ceilings that have been modernized with skylights, an open kitchen with dining area, and a sleeping loft. The living room of this fully furnished apartment features a flatscreen television with cable, coffee table, a DVD player, wireless Internet, and two sofa beds. Please note that those sofabeds do not provide the same comfort than a real bed. There is no air conditioning in this apartment and although three large fans are provided, it does get hot during the summer months. The lofted bedroom in this accommodation has a queen size bed and two end tables with lamps. The sleeping area is accessible by step ladder only and is not suitable for children or the elderly. Though this alcove studio apartment is located on top of a Church rectory, there are no church bells to disturb your sleeping. The neighborhood of this fully furnished vacation rental is the Upper West Side in Manhattan, New York City. It is conveniently located only two blocks away from the express train which will take you to Times Square in Midtown in just 2 stops! This is a very popular neighborhood, and home to some of New York's best shops and eateries, as well as the Lincoln Center and the Museum of Natural History. From Haute Cuisine to street food, you'll find restaurants like the new uptown location of the Shake Shack, Gray's Papaya and Boston transplant Emack and Bolio's Ice Cream Shop. This apartment is located just a block and a half away from Central Park. In fact, it is closest to a very special part of Central Park: Strawberry Fields, John Lennon's memorial section of the park. Next to the park is the famous building where John and Yoko lived: The Dakota. Please note that the skylights in this rental are uncovered and do allow natural light into the apartment. Please also be aware that the laundry is in the corridor and shared with the owner. |

Review by: Sophie G.
Accommodation Rental: 6 daysFrom: We had such a fantastic time staying here! Living in the gorgeous apartment above the church made our holiday in New York an incredibly memorable experience. During our visit there was a snowstorm, so it was lovely to have a warm, clean and cosy home to go to each evening, and feel tucked away out of the hustle & bustle and the inclement weather.
Feb 16 2014
We loved being uptown, as it's a little quieter and feels more like an authentic Manhattan-resident experience. The fact that the apartment is close to both the 1/2/3 and the A/B/C/D subway lines made getting around the city very easy.
Our hosts were warm and friendly, and helped us out with requests like holding our bags on the afternoon we left. We'll remember the spectacular stained glass window and the loft bed fondly! We'd certainly stay here again, very happily.
Review by: Simon L.
Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: Very pleasant vacation rental for a short stay or for 2 people. The kitchen amenities are of very good quality and the bathroom very nice and functional.
Jan 06 2014
The only 'real' bed is fine, but the lack of curtains means that people who sleep there are woken up very early in the morning.
On the other hand, the downstairs beds are substandard... the futon consists of two 50 cm wide mattresses split by a big gap and the springs can be badly felt.
The small pull-out couch is a bit better but it is impossible for 2 to sleep well on the futon, it is a bit small...
Finally, the stained-glass windows prevent the light from coming through, but not the cold... it was December and it was really cold with no extra heating.
However, as I said, it is great for 2 (or 3), the location (Upper West Side) is brilliant, and there are 5 subway lines less than a 5-minute walk away (1,2,3 and B, C).-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
Simon, I'm so sorry you had a bad experience. It is a very bright apartment, and we have not yet discovered a way to curtain or shutter the skylights.
Mar 03 2014
The sofa-bed is new, but apparently not good enough for some of our guests, so we plan to replace it as soon as feasible. Indeed, the single sleeper chair is only a single bed, not a double bed.
This winter is the coldest winter in New York since 1895. That's why I stopped by to bring you an additional heater. You told me that the one additional heater was enough. If you had only asked for yet another one, I would have gotten one for you.
Once again, my apologies for your discomfort.
Review by: James C.
Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: Very original and pleasant apartment. Very complete set of household linens, which is great. Only downside... the sofa bed comfort.
Jan 05 2014
Nevertheless, we would recommend it.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
Thanks for your review, James. It looks as though we need a different sort of sofa bed to accommodate parties of more than two. Right now we're trying to find the best item of furniture for comfort and versatility.
Mar 03 2014
Should be there by your next visit!
Review by: Rory T.
Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: The apartment was very nice and cozy. Everything was accommodating and convenient. The only problem was that the bolts or screws that held the ladder to the wall was coming loose and I think it needs to be bolted to the wall better.
Dec 13 2013
Other than that, everything was great. The location was perfect. It was great!-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
I'm so sorry that you had trouble with the ladder! If only you had phoned me I would have had it taken care of immediately. (That's why I put my private cell phone number on the contract.)
Dec 23 2013
In any case, it's fixed now, so on your next trip you should have no trouble with it. Come back soon!
Review by: Alain L.
Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: As the above review shows, this clean, charming accommodation with all modern conveniences is in excellent condition and in an ideal location. The hosts are hospitable and attentive, they know how to make themselves helpful.
Nov 26 2013
In other words, this is where we want to stay for our next New York stay!
Review by: Cornelia H.
Accommodation Rental: 4 daysFrom: We were there during the New York Marathon and felt very comfortable in this apartment. We found everything was as described.
Nov 18 2013
The only one thing that we would recommend would be to make the ceiling lights brighter, or lighten up the apartment with additional floor lamps, because with the high ceiling and the big stained-glass window, an additional source of light is absolutely needed!
Apart from that, everything was fabulous and we'll definitely choose this vacation rental again for our next trip. We definitely recommend it!-
Answer by:
New York Customer Service
Thank you for sharing your review Cornelia! We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We have taken into account your suggestion about the lights and have shared your review with the owner.
Dec 19 2013
Thank you for your feedback that helps us improve our services.
Review by: Anne A.
Accommodation Rental: 4 daysFrom: The apartment was perfectly situated, with two subway stations only a block away and bus services likewise. Central Park was also only a short walk. It is also very well served by local restaurants and grocery stores. There was nothing we needed that wasn't a stone's throw away.
Oct 14 2013
The apartment is accessed by a narrow staircase so will not suit everyone, but the owner assisted us with our luggage on arrival and departure and was more than happy to store our luggage while the apartment was prepared. As advertised, the apartment is loft-style and access to the bedroom was via a ladder. Don't let that deter as we two in our seventies had no difficulties.
If there was any minor criticism to make, the linen, while clean, was a little tired and the addition of crisp new sheets would be welcome.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
Many thanks, Anne! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Not much I can do to widen the stairway, I'm afraid, but my staff had already alerted me to the need for new linens.
Nov 01 2013
They have now been replaced and you can enjoy them on your next visit.
Review by: Tamara H.
Accommodation Rental: 6 daysFrom: This apartment is really unique as it is located in a church. The host is super friendly and helpful, you're given his telephone number upon arrival so you can contact him whenever you have any question/problem.
Oct 09 2013
The apartment location is great. There's everything you need (subway, supermarket, cafés, restaurants, bank) just next door, 2 blocks away at the most. You're in Times Square in about 20 minutes with the subway. The neighborhood was amazingly quiet, we were expecting more traffic noise.
The only downside were the missing louvered blinds on the bedroom windows.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
I'm very glad that the apartment proved convenient for you. Almost everybody remarks on our excellent location. A few people have also remarked on the early morning sunlight in the sleeping loft.
Nov 01 2013
The blinds aren't really "missing," as we have never figured out a way to install blinds over the skylights.
I hope the rest of your tour of America was wonderful and that you can come back and see us again.
Review by: Liliana S.
Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: Very good alternative as hotels are so expensive in New York. The host is very nice and made sure we had a pleasant stay.
Sep 30 2013
The neighborhood is very pleasant and there are nice places to eat and two subway stations close by.
Review by: Gareth W.
Accommodation Rental: 8 daysFrom: Just returned from a great week staying in this apartment. Such a unique place to stay while in New York. Friendly and helpful owner. Ideal location..... very close to Central Park, two subway stations only a one block walk in either direction. Plenty of bus connections too.
Sep 18 2013
The lack of air conditioning was not a problem for us... There are plenty of fans in the apartment to switch on to get the air moving.
When I next visit New York (whenever that may be!) I will be doing all I can to book this apartment again! A definate 10 out of 10!-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
Thanks, Gareth! It was great to have you with us. Do come back soon, and be sure to book well in advance, so as not to be disappointed.
Sep 19 2013
Review by: Yoann M.
Accommodation Rental: 10 daysFrom: Nice welcome, everything was clear-cut regarding the paperwork, no problem. Excellent communication with the hosts for the inventory at check-in and check out.
Sep 10 2013
The only downside was the comfort of the sofa bed: the mattress was not comfortable and would need to be replaced.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
Thanks for staying with us, Yoann. I hope you can come back soon. I'm sorry you found the sofa bed unsatisfactory. Actually, it doesn't have a mattress, it just folds out into a bed.
Sep 19 2013
It's a brand new piece of furniture, so it should have been comfortable. I will give it a try myself in between guests and check out the situation.
Review by: Andrew L.
Accommodation Rental: 1 daysFrom: I'm not sure how I can effectively describe what a wholeheartedly positive experience it was staying at this property. Whether it was the welcome from our host (and the slice of three berry pie!), the amazing location and local amenities or the quality and cleanliness of the apartment - no words can do justice to our experience here.
Sep 10 2013
Please don't change a thing.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
Thanks so much for your kind words, Andrew. I enjoyed having you, and the Church Ladies certainly enjoyed looking after you. Come back soon!
Sep 19 2013
Review by: Lisa W.
Accommodation Rental: 3 daysFrom: I was very pleased with our stay in the alcove apartment. The owner was very kind and easy to communicate with at any time. It is located in a wonderful neighborhood that was safe and fun to walk around at any time of the day or night. The apartment is beautifully furnished right down to the high end plumbing fixtures. It really seemed like a home away from home and I would certainly stay there again!
Jul 08 2013
This wasn't a problem for us, but I guess the only thing missing is air conditioning. While we experienced mild temperatures on our visit I wondered if it might be a problem in the warmer months.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
Thanks, Lisa! I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay with us and I hope you'll be back soon. Actually we have had quite a number of architects and designers in to try to air condition the place, but there is just no way around the rules for historic buildings in New York.
Jul 11 2013
Fortunately, there seem to be a lot of guests who don't mind the New York summers. Thanks again!
Review by: Stephane J.
Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: The host's kindness and the quality of the accommodation played a great part in the success of our New York stay, to be recommended without hesitation.
Jun 29 2013
The accommodation has character, is very well located and in a quiet spot (for NY).-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. Please come back soon and often!

Review by: Vincent S.
Accommodation Rental: 8 daysFrom: Great value! It is a great little apartment in a truly special place: inside an old church rectory building. The owner is a very warm, kind and helpful person. The location is superb: within only a few blocks you can reach 5 subway line stops, central park, lincoln center and the cultured though lively upper west side.

Many thanks for your kind words! It's always great to have you, Vincent, and I hope you will be back with us again soon.

Accommodation Rental: 9 daysFrom: Perfect stay! The accommodation is ideally situated in Manhattan. Subway station and grocery store nearby. 2 minutes away from central park.
May 18 2013
Residential area, safe, not very noisy. Warm welcome and discretion assured during the stay. Washing machine was useful after spending the day walking. Accommodation is in a church, completely ATYPICAL!
Incredible for NYC... I recommend this vacation rental in a heartbeat.-

Accommodation Rental: 3 daysFrom: An excellent location for birding Central Park. I loved the neighborhood and everything was perfect.

Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
I'm so glad your trip was a success. I shall never forget the evening that I saw a gorgeous cock pheasant stopping for the night in Central Park.
Jul 09 2013
We are indeed a good neighborhood for birding! Come back soon.
Review by: Barbara S.
Accommodation Rental: 2 daysFrom: Very good location, close to shops and subway. Spacious for 4 people. Very clean, well equipped, very light.
May 06 2013
Original as it is located in the church. And quiet (you can just hear a background noise). The host is very hospitable and courteous.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
I'm glad all of you were comfortable. And I'm glad you weren't disturbed by the distant song of the "city that never sleeps."
Jul 09 2013
Come back soon.
Review by: Stéphanie F.
Accommodation Rental: 12 daysFrom: Awesome vacation rental. And unusual!
May 04 2013
Very good location a few steps from the subway and Central Park. Which means Manhattan is within "sneakers reach". The neighborhood is quite quiet, still it's New York, you can expect the peace and quiet you get in the country.
We spent about ten perfect days there. It was really nice to have a home, go shopping and cook. Much more private than a hotel room.
Oh yes! it would be great to have a juicer to prepare good lemonade!We're still waiting for our deposit which we couldn't get back the day we returned the keys.
stef and elisa-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
Thanks for your kind words! You know, there was a juicer in the apartment. I bought it myself but it has been misplaced. I shall replace the juicer at the earliest opportunity.
Jul 17 2013
And once again, I am so very sorry about the confusion with your security deposit. That has never happened before, and I certainly hope it never happens again!
Review by: Laurent V.
Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: Hi, we stayed at this vacation rental from 4/12/14 through 4/19/13. First of all we received a great welcome from the owner's representative who was wonderful and explained many things to us since we didn't know anything about NY.
May 02 2013
The accommodation itself is perfect. It has everything you need to have a really wonderful stay. It is very functional, even with a baby. We had our one year old daughter sleep downstairs whilst we slept upstairs.
The accommodation is really perfectly located close to all facilities. (Subway / Restaurant / Supermarket / Central Park...) We definitely recommend this vacation rental.
Review by: Jean L.
Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: Excellent location in Manhattan. Immaculate, very unusual and attractive apartment as it is located in a church.
Mar 14 2013
Areas of improvement:
- we would have liked to meet the host
- the skylights above the bed could do with a movable curtain that one could operate with a small solar control. We installed one on a skylight in our Paris apartment. It doesn't cost much and it would be better than the big pieces of cardboard boxes that you have to handle and lay flat onto the windows.
- in the kitchen area, it would be helpful to have a light above the sink and the kitchen counter.
Overall, we were delighted with this vacation rental where we'll gladly return.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
Sorry we didn't get to meet! Occasionally I'm out of town and I turn things over to Matthew or Marco, my trusty staff people. I have searched the Internet in vain for these solar-controlled movable curtains.
Jul 17 2013
Next time you come, bring me two of them and we will install them. Hope to see you soon!

Review by: Jocelyne R.
Accommodation Rental: 5 daysFrom: Very convenient, well equipped and very well located vacation rental, the owner is charming and helpful, we will rent the same apartment again when we come back.
Mar 08 2013
2 small reservations: the 2 sofas uncomfortable bedding, but our 22 and 25 year-old children were so tired that it didn't stop them from sleeping, and the fact that you can hear the cars driving past, luckily the neighborhood is quiet. Curtains on the bedroom skylight would be convenient as the light wakes you up early.
These reservations shouldn't make you forget the fact that we are very happy with the rental.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
I'm glad you were happy with the rental and I do indeed hope to welcome you back soon. One of the two sleeper sofas is quite new! I'm sorry the kids found them uncomfortable to sleep on. Most people don't seem to mind.
Jul 17 2013
Yes, you can hear the traffic from the street. It's the price you pay for being in the most vibrant city in the world.
If I can find a way to curtain the skylights, I guarantee it will be done by the time of your next visit! Thanks again for staying with us. See you again soon.
Review by: Benoit H.
Accommodation Rental: 6 daysFrom: Warm welcome from the host's rep, the stay was seamless. Ideal location with two subway lines very close by. However, for the check-out, someone came at the arranged time but didn't introduce themselves nor did they say hello / goodbye, everything was done in less than a minute.
Feb 18 2013-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
I'm SO sorry that you got "the bum's rush" as we say in New York. Sometimes our staff are very pressed for time, trying to get the apartment in order for the next guests.
Jul 09 2013
But that is no excuse for forgetting their manners! Please accept my apologies.
Review by: John P.
Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: My wife and I stayed here for a week in December, and found the apartment to be absolutely fantastic. We can't fault it in any way. The owner was incredibly welcoming and helpful to us first time New Yorkers!
Jan 10 2013
The apartment itself is a real gem - spotlessly clean, with all the amenities and mod-cons you can think of, and very unique. I can't think of many apartments with a beautiful stained glass window in the lounge and ladders leading to the bedroom (which for the record - we loved!)
The location is ideal. Central Park and The Museum of Natural History are practically on your doorstep, and the subway downtown is just around the corner. There are plenty of shops, grocery stores and restaurants within walking distance, and we were never stuck for choice when it came to dining out or eating in.
We would definitely rent this apartment again for our next trip to New York. We can't wait to come back!
Review by: Fanny M.
Accommodation Rental: 2 daysFrom: The apartment is very well fitted out in this wing of the church . Very clean, very pleasant, it can accommodate 4 people without any problem. The kitchen equipment is more than enough for basic cooking in the apt. It's also very well located and easily accessible with the subway and close to quite a few spots you can walk to.
Jan 09 2013
Small points that could do with some improvement though: turn the heating down (especially in the bathroom which isn't big!) and maybe clean with products that are not so strong because it smells a lot when you get in.
Apart from that it was great, including the welcome from the reverend!!-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
I'm so glad you had everything you need for a pleasant stay. I wish you had phoned me about the heat! That's why I give each guest my private cell phone number and say to call me with any questions or problems.
Jul 17 2013
The heat is controlled by the dial on the radiator, and the bathroom heater has an on/off switch. I so wish you would have asked me about it! As for the cleaning products, I trust my staff on this.
They do an excellent job. I look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.
Review by: Maëva T.
Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: What could be improved: put curtains on the windows. Very friendly owner who came to help us on several occasions and especially when we had to contact the airport several times (luggage stuck in France).
Jan 02 2013-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
I'm glad we were finally able to sort out your luggage problem. What an ordeal! Unfortunately the skylights are not very amenable to curtains. Sorry that the sunlight was a bit bright for you.

Review by: Louise S.
Accommodation Rental: 6 daysFrom: Pros: neighborhood, peace and quiet and apartment originality.
Nov 20 2012
Cons: apartment wear and tear. The bathroom could do with a new coat of paint. The rim around the bath needs to be redone. The doors below the washbasin need to be changed. I would have liked to have linens that smell good washing powder. The pillows did not smell good.
Everything else was OK.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
Thanks you for your review, Louise! You will be happy to learn that as soon as you left, we repainted the bathroom, re-grouted the tub, spruced up the cabinetry. I'm afraid though, that every guest favors a different washing powder, so I will stick with the one chosen by my cleaning staff.
Jul 17 2013
Hope to see you again soon!

Review by: Ramsés D.
Accommodation Rental: 6 daysFrom: Our experience with this apartment exceeded our expectations by far. We can't speak highly enough of this apartment, it has absolutely everything, from its unbeatable location, the impeccable condition the apartment is in to all the facilities inside the apartment!!!... (the only thing that can said to be negative is the staircase; the apartment is on the 2nd floor and apart from the fact that carrying the luggage up and down was annoying, I think the apartment is not suited to older people, at least not those who have knee problems)
Nov 14 2012
The accommodation owner is a wonderful person who goes above and beyond the call of duty as an owner. Pleasant, attentive, collaborative and always ready to help with smaller things(recommendations on the city and the residential area for example) as well as with carrying your luggage up to and then down from the apartment or finding a taxi for you!!!-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Yes the stairs could be a problem -- not for a Marathon runner like yourself, perhaps, but for people who suffer from any number of diseases or disabilities.
Jul 17 2013
As we discussed that day in front of the church, there are plans for an elevator (lift), but we need a $200,000 donation first! Hope to see you soon.
Review by: Joanna Estelle S.
Accommodation Rental: 3 daysFrom: The flat located on the third floor of Grace and St Paul's Church suited my needs exactly. It is located 5-6 blocks from Lincoln Centre and 2 blocks from the 72nd st subway station. There are several excellent places to eat or buy food nearby.
Oct 30 2012
The flat is clean, quiet, pleasant, and simply decorated. The price is excellent for a single traveller and the owner was very helpful. I plan to rerent in the future when planning my next trip to NYC.
Review by: Susan C.
Accommodation Rental: 10 daysFrom: A lovely, quiet street. Apartment full of character. Amenities very good. Cleaner comes in weekly and does a thorough job including washing and changing bed linen and towels.Owner very helpful. Always felt safe walking around the area even late at night.
Oct 27 2012
Subway station close by. Central Park within easy walking distance.Stairs up to the apartment and ladder to bedroom loft could be a problem for some people.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
I am glad you enjoyed the apartment and always felt safe around the area. It is unfortunate that the steps may be a problem for some people as at least one guest has had trouble with them, but it is not easy maximizing space in Manhattan where space is a real luxury!
Nov 08 2012
Review by: Wayne M.
Accommodation Rental: 9 daysFrom: This apartment is a rare find in New York, it is very affordable and is extremely well situated to other amenities such as restaurants, subway access, food stores and other shops. It is within walking distance of some of New York's most visited sites as well as being close to Central Park for some relaxation in the afternoon after visiting other NY sites.
Oct 27 2012
The owner is very helpful and polite and was a delight to talk to as well as providing a good service. The accomodation is quirky, with no elevators to the apartment and steps up to the bed but this provides a very pleasant alternative experience to New York. The facilities were of a very high standard, no complaints!
Everything that could be done for the occupants was done. We especially liked the blessing of the animals service in October! Thoroughly recommend this apartment!
Review by: Gavin M.
Accommodation Rental: 8 daysFrom: The apartment is in a fantastic location - great neighborhood and close to two subway lines. It is well appointed, comfortable, spacious and clean. The bonus of washing and drying facilities was particularly helpful. There was some noise from building work nearby, but that is not the fault of the apartment.
Oct 22 2012
That aside it is in a very quiet street with many, many restaurants nearby, a corner store very close and excellent food and other shopping options nearby. Prospective renters should be aware that the sleeping area is in a loft space that requires the negotiation of a steep ladder - so not suitable for anyone with a mobility problem.
Otherwise, this is a great apartment that I would rent again.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
Thank you Gavin,
Oct 30 2012
I'm very sorry that you had trouble with the ladder to the loft, and I hope that this won't discourage you from visiting again. I have the same ladder in my own apartment and have no difficulty getting my elderly and rather bulky frame up and down. But yes, those who are infirm may have trouble with the ladder, and young children should be carefully supervised when using it.-
Answer by:
New York Customer Service
New York Habitat spoke with the owner and he says he has no idea what the client meant when he mentioned construction noise because there is none to his knowledge. He says the entire block is completely quiet.
Nov 08 2012
It might have been a singular incident .
Thank you for your comment Gavin.

Sep 15 2012
The only downside was the sleeping accommodation, as the sofa bed was a bit slouchy, but we pointed it out to M, who told us he was going to change it. Otherwise, everything is almost perfect, although it must be noted that the apartment is very hot and therefore equipped with a large number of fans that need to run at night in summer, which can be annoying for light sleepers.
In addition to the perfect location, this rental has a washing machine and dryer at your disposal, which is a big plus.-

The new sofa bed is scheduled for delivery between today and Wednesday!

Accommodation Rental: 5 daysFrom: This apartment fantastic! This was our second stay and we will be back again for a third...the only question is when!!

The location is superb. It is so close to Central Park, subway stops, grocery, restaurants, Lincoln Center, etc. Yet, it is on a very quiet, mostly residential block. It is the ideal place for a couple to have as a home base while visiting the city.
The owner is very helpful and friendly. The apartment is an excellent value, is quite charming and you feel cozy and safe nestled in your little loft space on the upper west side!-

It was a joy to have a return visit from our old friends. We hope they will make us their "home away from home" whenever they visit New York.

Accommodation Rental: 4 daysFrom: We liked the little flat and felt to be welcome. You (or those, who are helping you) seem to know very well, what a guest needs (we liked the little extras like fresh water in the fridge or the adapter for the electric system...) and on the other side do not fill the apartment with unnecessary things.

Accommodation Rental: 25 daysFrom: My daughter and I were in New York most of the month of July, 2012 and stayed in this apartment the whole time.
Aug 21 2012
There is no airconditioning and it was very hot in the apartment. Some of the other reviews said they got used to the heat after a few days, but we did not really ever get used to it.
The owners did provide about 9 fans to try to help, but blowing hot air around is still not airconditioning.
I would stay in this apartment agian in a heartbeat, but not in July.
The bathroom, towels, sheets, kitchen, washer and dryer were all top notch. The apartment is really close to the subway stations and we always felt totally safe. It was our first time in the city so everything was new to us. This apartment was a welcoming place to call home.-
Answer by:
Accommodation Owner
Yes! The apartment is hot in the summer. Some of our guests don't mind the heat, others do. We always remind the NYHabitat agents to remind the clients before they book that the apartment is not air-conditioned and that New York is hot in the summer. Once the client has moved in, however, our options are limited.
Aug 29 2012-
Answer by:
New York Customer Service
We do not advertise this apartment as an air-conditioned one and indeed ask agents to disclose this to clients. However, we have taken both the guest's and owner's comments into account and therefore decided to take it a step further. We've added a note in the property description in order to make this even clearer to prospective guests.

Prospective guests should be aware, though, that they are renting a studio apartment. There is only one bed, which sleeps two comfortably.
The fold-down sofa and fold-out chair have also accommodated guests of all ages, who usually find us an economical and desirable alternative to a two or three-bedroom apartment. But if greater luxury is desired, a larger apartment would be a better bet.

The owner was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. I had no problem bringing my suitcases up the stairs to the 3rd floor, but the lack of elevator may be a concern for anyone with a physical limitation.

Accommodation Rental: 5 daysFrom: This is a great space in the Upper West Side. It is such a wonderful value for the location and the size of apartment in New York City. The apartment shows some signs of wear, scuffs on walls, loose tiles on floor, coffee table leg loose, bathroom fan rattles, but you'd get that in any place that hosts people day in and day out.
Nov 30 2011
The only inconvenience in the apartment, and this may seem small, but the full-size ironing board does not collapse and takes up the entire closet, making it impossible to stow away suitcases, etc.
The owner is fantastic and was prompt with communication. We appreciated this accommodation so much that we are already planning our next trip back and will definitely stay here.-
Answer by:
New York Customer Service
The owner informed us that the coffee table leg has been repaired, the ironing board replaced and that the apartment will be repainted early 2012. Regarding the closet space, the owner explained that it is a studio apartment and so, even if the closet and chest of drawers are spacious, storage space may still not be completely sufficient for each tenant's large suitcase.

Review by: Roxane T.
Accommodation Rental: 3 daysFrom: We had a wonderful time in NY and we would not hesitate to rent from this establishment in the futur. We live in a very quiet area and so yes it was noisy but anything is noisy compared to our home. We really would like to return with our children. It's small but cozy, and so this is what we needed! Of course the pricing is probably good for NY but for us it was a little high, because we needed to add $150.00 US to park our car for 3 nights. We might have to stay in Jersey next time just for the added parking charge.

Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: Overall, the apartment was spacious and well appointed. Although the apartment was clean, it did appear as though it could have used "freshening up". The paint appeared tired and in places was stained from age or water damage. The coffee table was less than stable and one couch was clean, but again, tired looking.
Nov 24 2011
None of this would impact my decision to return and stay in the same apartment -- the location was fantastic (transit, shops, atmosphere) and the charm of the stained glass window is unique.
The owner/landlord was kind and helpful.-

Oct 06 2011
The accommodation owner was very nice and was always on time. Everything went smoothly and he even came one day before our departure (we were leaving at 5 am to go to the airport) to return the deposit.
The only thing I can think of to make it even better would be a ceiling fan or an AC unit, due to the high temperatures there is not much air circulating. The stairs are not ideal either to carry large pieces of luggage but these details are nothing compared to the neighborhod, the easy access to public transportation and the quality of the apartment.
To sum up, I must say my friend and I were very happy to stay in this beautiful neigborhood and enjoy the quiet and private space. If I return to New York I would book this vacation rental again without a doubt.-

Apr 26 2011
The location is spectacular. The subway is right around the corner and Central Park just one block away. The street itself is entirely residential and as soon as we got there, we felt like this was our home for a week. We also felt safe at all times.
One thing that would be helpful is an instruction manual on how to use some of the facilities. We were at a loss on how to work the taps that alternated the shower and bath, and we were a little unsure on how to work the heating. So perhaps a one pager 'how to' guide, would be something other renters from outside the USA might find handy.
I highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone who wants to spend their time away from the craziness of the tourist areas and who want to feel like they actually live in NYC.-

Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: So many things I read about renting an apartment in New York indicated it should not be done. Well I am so glad we didn't listen to that because renting this apartment was a fantastic experience and it would have been such a shame to be scared off it by doom and gloomers insisting all apartment rentals in New York are scams.
Feb 16 2011
The apartment was really cute, of a great size for the two of us and stocked with everything we could want for. It was right near the subway station, lots of shops, quite a few restaurants and fast food outlets. We were able to walk to loads of places, including Central Park (really close), Time's Square and surrounds (about half an hour), the Empire State building, Rockefeller Centre etc. We really could not complain about anything and wold recommend this apartment to others, for sure.
The only thing I would say is that it may not be suitable for the elderly or the very young as the main sleeping area is up quite a high ladder. This made for a great use of space, but it might be a bit difficult if you aren't very mobile or have little kids wanting to climb the ladder all the time.
It was perfect for us though! The owner was lovely and we had complete privacy. Five stars!-

Our only criticisms would be that the entry stairway could do with a coat of paint to freshen it up and the apartment is showing some signs of wear. The freezer was well overdue for defrosting although the fridge worked well. The two sofas could benefit from a thorough clean especially underneath/inside the sofa assembly.
Both Emilya Kraus and Beth Weiler from New York Habitat were efficient and very pleasant to deal with. We would have no hesitation using NY Habitat again and recommend them to family and friends. We would be more than happy to stay in the same vacation rental apartment again as it was excellent value.-

Further to this review, we contacted the owner of this vacation rental who confirmed that he is aware of the stairway needing to be painted and is looking into having this done. The freezer will be defrosted as soon as possible. The apartments, including the sofas and sofa beds are cleaned thoroughly between each rental period and the owner works hard in the hopes that each of his tenants is satisfied.

Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: Our staying in New York has been a wonderful period and the apartment we rented has been one of the reasons for that. Very nice position, nearby Central Park, easy access to the subway, to shops and restaurants, quiet and clean.
Aug 05 2010
The apartment is well equipped, just like a real house and makes you feel at home from the first day. We travelled a lot in NY and our apartment was the best place to rest after a long day visiting NY.
The owner has been very kind, providing us all the essential information and keeping our luggage during the last day letting us enjoy our staying until the last minute. We heartily recommend this vacation rental to anyone who wishes to feel like a New Yorker for a few days.

Accommodation Rental: 6 daysFrom: We had a wonderful stay in the apartment we rented through New York Habitat.
Aug 04 2010
The landlord was very helpful and courteous - made us feel very comfortable about staying in the apartment. He even went to the trouble of purchasing extra fans while we were there to help alleviate some of the July heat.
The apartment itself was great. We loved the space, and all the amenities. It was perfect for a (lengthy) stay in the city. We enjoyed the fact that we had an extensive cable tv offering (including many channels OnDemand). The kitchen was well-stocked and more than sufficient for our needs. The bed was very comfortable. The stained glass window made the apartment really special!
The only negative was the lack of air-conditioning. We were not prepared for how hot New York can be in July, so were a bit taken aback by how hot the apartment was when we arrived. But we acclimatized and enjoyed our stay none-the-less.
I would definitely recommend this apartment (and New York Habitat) to my friends and family.

Jun 11 2010
The apartments were clean and very central to local subways which was critical to getting around in your wonderful city. If we ever travel to New York again, we will contact New York Habitat for our accommodation needs.
We were very pleased with everything.

The only thing we could have used was one more warm blanket for the 2nd sleeper sofa.
We'll definitely stay [at this Upper West side vacation rental] again!
Review by: Eileen N.
Accommodation Rental: 7 daysFrom: This apartment would be my first choice for accommodation the next time I'm in New York. The location was excellent, the owner and his son were wonderful to deal with and the apartment beyond exceeded my expectations.
Feb 08 2010
The apartment was beautifully decorated with more than enough plates, crockery and cutlery to use. I was impressed with the high quality appliances (coffee machine, stove top and heating in particular) and also the plentiful cleaning supplies.
In particular, I would like to thank Gisela for her consistently high service when organising our stay in the apartment. Her constant communication and thoroughness of that communication was impressive and I would not hesitate to recommend your service to others and to use New York Habitat again for when I need to book an apartment in the future.

TEAMS: Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Brooklyn Nets, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder
The Boston Celtics continue their frustrating start to the 2012-'13 season. Through 15 games, the Celtics look like a .500 team and they are just 8-7. They are in fourth place in the Atlantic Division.
The Celtics looked to break through by beating the defending Western Conference champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder. Then they barely escaped in overtime against a young Orlando Magic team who no longer has Dwight Howard and they looked pathetic in a 95-83 loss at home to the Brooklyn Nets. Rajon Rondo got ejected for shoving Nets forward Kris Humphries after Humphries fouled Kevin Garnett in the final minute of the second quarter. Rondo was issued a 2-game suspension. The Celtics looked lifeless throughout the game and Doc Rivers called the team "soft."
These Celtics are not defending, rebounding, or playing with any mental toughness. They look like they are going through the motions and they make silly mistakes.
We're live from the @dunkinboston @csnne and @celtics @avery_bradley...

Gallery of Prime Minister Harper's visit with the pandas in China.
It's official. Two giant pandas named Er Shun and Ji Li will eventually call the Calgary Zoo home, although they aren't set to make their arrival until 2018.
The highly anticipated announcement was made Saturday by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, as he visited a zoo in the Chinese city of Chongqing. Calgary Zoo president and CEO Clément Lanthier was also in China for the official signing of the agreement, and a press conference was held Saturday at the Zoo to confirm the news.
Communications Manager Laurie Skene said zoo officials are not disappointed that they will have to wait to receive the pandas until after the Toronto Zoo has had a turn.

The record, as
And whatever the record means for the team's preseason goals, the veteran defensive tackle says what has happened in the first half of the season is in a sense secondary to the biggest issue facing Jaguars players this week:
Yes, the Jaguars are struggling. And no, the record isn't what they wanted. But there's a game Thursday, and there are eight games remaining in the season. That means it's time – past time, actually – to play as the team expected.
It's just plain time to play better.
"It's time for the players to do their part," Knighton said Tuesday.
Asked the motivation for Thursday's nationally-televised game with the Colts (5-3), a game the Jaguars enter with a 1-7 record, Knighton replied, "It's pride, most importantly."
"We want to represent this city well, the organization," Knighton said.
Middle linebacker
Posluszny said Thursday's the time to start.
"You've got to be the guy who's going to go out and make a play to change the game," Posluszny said. "You've got to be the guy who's going to go out and make something big happen, get your teammates fired up and get everyone involved in the game."
Knighton and Posluszny spoke as the Jaguars prepared for their lone nationally-televised game of the season, a game against a division rival that has surprised many by already winning five games a year after finishing 2-14.
The Jaguars, since beating the Colts 22-17 on a late pass in Indianapolis in Week 3, have lost five consecutive games, and have lost four home games this season by a total of 92 points. Those results are in sharp contrast to an off-season in which players spoke of a new beginning and improvement under new Head Coach Mike Mularkey and new owner Shad Khan.
"Ultimately, as players we're auditioning for our jobs," Knighton said. "We just have to get all on the same page. . . You can go out and play hard and do all that, but ultimately, if you're not getting the job done you don't need to be in there.
"We need guys to make plays – the guys that coaches expect to make plays need to make them."
Players said Tuesday that hasn't happened enough this season. The Jaguars have struggled with dropped passes much of the season, and after improving their tackling for several weeks, Jaguars Head Coach Mike Mularkey said the team struggled there again in a 31-14 loss to Detroit Sunday.
"There's always internal pressure," Gabbert said. "Everybody wants to play well at a high level every week. We're pretty competitive people. We know we didn't play up to our potential last week. We have to go out and do that. Luckily, we have a short week and play right away."
The short week was a topic as players continued preparations Tuesday. Preparation was condensed, and rather than Tuesday being a day off, there was a full day of meetings and practice. The team held an evening walkthrough Monday night.
"Obviously, it's hard," defensive end
And as Knighton and other players see it, there's no reason that team shouldn't be the Jaguars – and not just because they won in Indianapolis in Week 3. Asked if the Jaguars still believed they should be winning, Knighton said, "Absolutely."
"We feel like the record should be different," Knighton said. "We feel like we have the guys in here who can have a winning team here, who can win a division title. Things just haven't been going that way, so we either need to find a way to build some momentum going into the offseason or just have something we can ride on throughout the season."
And with a rare opportunity on a national stage at hand, Knighton said there's no time like now to change a lot of what hasn't gone right in the first half of the season.
"Playing on a national stage, you obviously need to go out there and perform well," Knighton said. "We've had games where it felt bad. We lost to San Diego on national television real bad and we don't want to feel that way again.
"Playing at EverBank should be a place where we want to come and play and have the advantage. It hasn't been that way. We have to find a way to get this going, and the onus is on the players."

A victory for man and muppets alike….
He may no longer be employed by Sesame Street, but at least he's got a few less court dates. Kevin Clash, who won over the hearts of children worldwide as the voice of Sesame Street's Elmo, managed to get three of five suits that claimed he sexually abused minors tossed out by a New York judge. Another lawsuit was dropped by the accuser. And the fifth? Still pending.
Via Bet.com:
Kevin Clash scored a major victory in court yesterday in the multiple sex abuse lawsuits filed against him this year. A judge dismissed three of the five suits that claim Clash, a voice actor best known as the voice of Sesame Street's Elmo, lured minors into having sex with him many years ago. TMZ reports that the New York judge presiding over the cases ruled that the three cases are beyond the statute of limitations.
The suits brought by Cecil Singleton, Kevin Kiadii and a third unnamed accuser won't proceed. In documents, the judge explained that the statute of limitations expires three years after the alleged victim turns 18. All three accusers were already in their mid-twenties when they filed suit, well beyond the age deadline. The fourth of five suits was dropped by its accuser in April. No similar ruling has been made on the single remaining lawsuit, but this has to be a major relief for Clash, whose career crumbled after allegations surfaced that he engaged in sex with minors on more than one occasion. In at least one case, Clash admitted to having a sexual relationship with his accuser, but only after the alleged victim was a legal adult. He has denied any wrongdoing.

RESULTS FOR POST TAG: Iowa Supreme CourtIn a significant victory for Iowa employers, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled on Friday, June 21, 2013 that the Iowa Civil Rights Act does not permit plaintiffs who are suing for employment discrimination to be awarded punitive damages. Iowa Supreme Court says the National Flood Insurance Act does not give borrowers the ability to pursue flood damage claims against lenders. Iowa Court of Appeals ruling asks: Must employers retain a confessed recreational drug user? What is the definition of "gross misconduct" that would justify not providing a soon-to-be-fired individual with the right to continue to participate at his or her own cost in an employer's group health insurance plans through COBRA?

Quoted from Frank Herbert's Dune Reviews:
Check out these quotes from Frank Herbert's Dune reviews & previews"The gameplay is bad, the "adventuring" is boring, the magnificent Dune story is condensed into something dull and lifeless, but it looks pretty enough, if only when showing the massive and frightening giant worms."
"...underneath the awkward combat system and shoddy presentation (the title screen proudly declares this to be "Franck Herbert's Dune") there is a great game trying to get out. There are rare moments of genius and sections which can be a lot of fun, but overall it's a mostly frustrating and disappointing experience."
"It's a poorly designed 3D action-adventure game that actually has precious little to do with the source material and equally little to recommend it."
"Dune fans will really like this game and anyone who hasn't read or watched Dune may find wanting to know more about Paul-Maud'Dib."

I have done some googling but haven't really found the answers that I'm looking for. DS is 4 months and EBF. I am dairy and soy free. I ate a muffin, obviously a baked good, and he did not react. I have heard that being baked causes the milk to change properties which some kids may be less sensitive to. Does anyone know-- does this only pertain to actual baked goods, or does something with maybe cheese in it, that is baked, like lasagna have the changed protein properties too? Would a grilled cheese work too or does it actually have to be baked? I'm just hopeful that I can start eating a little bit more soon!
Thank you!!
