Other info

Thank you for considering a stay with us. We are a small family-run business located in the heart of one of the largest cities in the world, offering guests a unique experience that blends the intimacy of a small town with the excitement of New York City. To help ensure a pleasant stay for all our guests, we have developed some policies that we ask guests to familiarize themselves with before booking.

Please note that our apartments and suites are only available for a minimum stay of 30-90-180 nights, and we cannot make exceptions to this policy. We don't offer discounts for monthly stays as our pricing is already priced for monthly stays and is competitively priced compared to short-term stays at hotels or hotel alternatives in the area.

Our historic townhouse was built in the late 1800s and retains much of its original structure, which may not be suited for all accessibility needs. Please also keep in mind that this is not a modern structure and there may be signs of wear and tear.

We do not have a buzzer or intercom system in the suites, so guests will need to coordinate with delivery services and meet them at the front door of the house. Additionally, as we are located in a bustling city, guests should expect some street noise from construction or traffic.

While we love pets, unfortunately, we cannot accommodate them at our property. We do provide guests with a set of sheets, towels, down pillows, and a down duvet or cotton blanket, and one additional sheet set may be provided upon request.

Please note that there is no laundry facility in the building, but guests have access to many nearby laundry and dry cleaning merchants that offer laundry service by the pound with free pick-up and delivery.

Finally, please note that the host resides on the premises and is available to assist guests as needed during their stay. We hope you have a pleasant experience with us and look forward to welcoming you.
