From the street, you would never know it was there. Lovely large rooms. Tasteful furnishings. Only issue is no elevator, and even the third floor can be an interesting walk-up on a twisty staircase. Quiet, except for the squeaking floors, ever footstep overhead resounds. A bit overpriced unless you stay in the off-season.

I suspect that most people stay at the 1871 house because they want something a bit different to the normal tourist trap; you certainly will get that.
The location is fantastic. You are close to Central Park, the subway and the vibrancy of 5th Avenue. The neighbourhood is remarkably quiet given the activity just a block and a half away....

1871 House is in a lovely neighborhood, just around the corner from the subway (but not on top of it!), near some restaurants and shops, but not a busy shopping area, and also just a couple blocks from central park. My wife and I were here to celebrate a friends wedding, but resting at the 1871 House after all the...

I have travelled extensively for business and pleasure and probably stayed at every 5 star hotel in Manhatten at some point. 1871 house was asolutely charming. I own a house that is very similar in age, size and style in Chelsea in London so i felt very at home. I know New York well so i dont need all the...

We stayed in the newly renovated Mission Studio last summer. True, the steps down are very steep, but once you arrive you find yourself in a beautiful, quiet, and very private retreat. I'd had doubts about being in the basement, but on the hottest night of the summer we really appreciated the cool stone floors. The only drawback to this...

We spent four days here in one of the larger suites which worked brilliantly for a family of four and seemed a very good cost effective way of staying in Manhattan. It had the feel of someone's home so it was very welcoming after a day out in the City. It also gave us the flexibility to eat in when...

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Mission Studio for five nights. It was absolutely perfect for our stay in New York. It was spacious, cosy and spotless. The hotel is situated on a leafy street a few minutes from the subway and Central Park. The owners were incredibly helpful and efficient. I would highly recommend this hidden gem and...

We stayed in the Garden Room. The room itself is beautiful, spacious and clean, and the terrace is nice. Too bad it was raining a lot! Bed was perhaps a bit hard, but not terrible. The room was quiet (especially when we you took the AC off), so I slept well. The location is great, and I did not mind...

My husband and I stayed in the Garden Room for 7 nights. The room is very high ceiling-ed, large and beautifully decorated. It's also dark and gets no direct sunlight - great for when it's hot. There was an a/c unit which we needed during the day & into the evening.
The garden is also beautiful and well-tended. We found...
