We stayed in The West Townhouse for 8 days and just loved it. Close to 2 subway stations, cafes, restaurants, the Central Park and many other places... Nice, tidy, clean, that's a pretty special place to stay. Monica and Larry, the owners, are very nice people and made we very comfortable We highly recommend this place!

It was a perfect stay from our first contact with Monica via email to our checkout. Monica welcomed us and showed us around our room, gave us keys and assured us that she was there if we needed anything. The studio with its ten foot high ceilings, tasteful decor and comfortable bed was spacious, bright and fully equipped with modern... More

We stayed in August for 5 nights and enjoyed every one of them. The location is excellent, a quick 2 blocks to the subway, right near Central Park and the Natural History, and a pleasant stroll straight across Central Park to the Metropolitan (not to mention a Joe's Coffee a short block away - excellent!). The subway line is a... More

We had a fantastic 4-night stay in June for our honeymoon. We couldn't have asked for a better home base for our visit. We stayed in the beautiful Suite 4R, which had a super comfy bed, a great little kitchen and charming furniture (and fresh flowers!). We just loved the character of the place; so much better than an impersonal... More

We had a terrific stay at The West Townhouse April 14-21, the week the blossoms all came out!. We hit NYC that spring week in April when temperatures ranged from the low 70's to almost 90. And the week after I had badly twisted my ankle. But despite that problem it was a great week. Everything seemed to come to... More

We enjoyed our recent 6 night stay at Monica and Larry's brownstone on the UWS. 2 blocks from Central Park and 1 block in the other direction to the subway it is a perfect location for a NY visit. Monica went out of her way to ensure that we were comfortable and well informed of the local shops and necessary... More

My wife and I stayed here for 6 nights, and loved every minute. The place is beautiful - very spacious, original artworks, high ceilings and a great kitchen. The bathroom, although small, was everything you needed and very clean. We could not fault the place in any way. Monica took extremely good care of us, and was able to help... More

My wife and I recently stayed for one week in a studio apt. Our studio (No 6) was a delight: spacious living/sleeping area with a luxuriously comfortable bed, adequate kitchen and stylish (albeit compact) bathroom. The whole ambience was enhanced by the inclusion of flowers and fresh fruit The whole place was scrupulously clean throughout. Monica is a charming hostess... More

As an ex-New Yorker, who still loves New York, staying here was glorious! Right in my old 'hood, of the Upper West Side, and within a block of a great yoga place, I couldn't have been happier. The darling couple who own this brownstone, have turned apartments into long-stay rentals, and it's great. Full kitchen, nice bathroom, lots of space.... More
