Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Midtown East, Manhattan

So there are apparently not enough characters allowed in the review to fully express our pleasure staying at this wonderful place. We have stayed in multiple Airbnbs with our business the past five years and this particular one is in the top three. Upon approach, take in the charming brownstones and tree lined streets. Once you open the door, you are greeted with natural light filled space with a chefs kitchen. The decor is modern, yet not stark. The added elements, such as the exposed brick and wood, emanate a warmth and coziness. The outdoor back space is just right, but sitting on the front steps is the best because you meet all kinds of charming characters around the neighborhood. Upstairs are two bedrooms, each with dream bathrooms, right down to the showerheads. beds were SO comfortable and perfect for melting into a deep sleep after a day in Manhattan. Favs:bathrooms, kitchen island, neighborhood shops and cafes, argh there’s not enough room left just book it already!!

Abi was an exceptional host! The location was ideal, with convenient free street parking. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and unwind.

The house is very charming and well preserved. Lovingly decorated with attention to detail. The room had a nice view of the garden. The area is green with many historic buildings and cafes. Jordan is very friendly. I look forward to coming back!

It was a quiet, clean, and reliable environment. We were comfortable for three days. We had our tea and coffee as if we were in our own home. It’s within walking distance to the metro, so going out and coming back wasn’t a problem. We recommend it to those who want to see New York.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience during my stay at this Airbnb. The place was exactly as described — cozy, clean, and beautifully maintained. The host was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and quick to respond to any questions I had. The location was perfect, close to local attractions and amenities, making it easy to explore the area. The space was well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay (there were even hair styling tools 🙂), and I especially enjoyed the thoughtful touches that made it feel like a home away from home. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable, hassle-free place to stay. I would definitely love to return in the future! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Very cozy, clean room with a mini-fridge and filtered water. They just put a new memory foam mattress on the bed, which was very comfortable. Stella was quick to respond to messages and very kind and accommodating. It was so nice to come back to this very private and quiet room after a long day out in the city! Within walking distance of several metro stations.

Great hospitality. Clearnly environment. Stored luggage early before check in. Very quiet and calm.

The place was very cozy and homey. It was renovated very recently, so everything felt new. The living room and kitchen were spacious and well equipped. It was evident that Karla the host thought about all the small details to make this a great stay. The house is a walkable distance from bus routes to NYC. Karla is super responsive and addressed all the questions we had quickly and efficiently!

Very cool place. Loved it. Will definitely go back.

Louise's place is very easy to find and access. It is very close to bus stops and metros, and very close to Times Square and Broadway shows. There are several restaurants around. We like the bagel shops right across the street. There is an Amish Market nearby where we can get grocery and food to cook ourselves. The rooms are clean and quiet. Although the apartment is right on the 9th Avenue, we hardly could hear any noise inside the house. It is on the 3rd floor and we were a bit worried about bringing up our luggage but then Louise sent a friend to help us bringing up our stuff when we checked in, and it was at midnight!! We were so comfortable in the house, and had great fun during our trips. I definitely recommend the place.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay as a family of 5 with a 6 & 4 year old and 6 month old. There were plenty of blankets and pillows available. Having the washer and dryer there was very nice, although I struggled a bit with the dryer-it repeatedly stopped before it should have. Maybe user error? The cordless vacuum was appreciated to keep the floor clean. The listing showed salt & pepper available, but all I could find was pourable Morton's salt. Also, only instant coffee, which doesn't work in a coffee maker. Unlike another reviewer, I appreciated the scripture verses on the living room walls! The bedroom is very sparsely decorated, and the a/c unit in that room had a rattle when it was running that kept me awake until I got used to it. We loved the beautiful views(minus my husband who fears heights), and watching all the traffic below, especially the bus traffic at the station! The apartment stayed fairly quiet, and has a great location with lots to do close by! Thanks for hosting us!

Nice location, good to the museums and Central Park.

Adele’s place was lovely! It fit our needs and was very charming. Kate was a perfect host as well. She shared several local restaurants and bakeries and coffee shops that were wonderful. We would love to stay here again if we make it back to New York! Highly recommend!!

Great place to stay in Harlem, good deal and the host was really friendly

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in NYC! One of the best parts was how incredibly easy it was to get around the city—public transportation was right at my doorstep. Whether I was hopping on the subway or catching a bus, I never had to walk far or wait long. The location made it super convenient to explore all the major attractions, and I was able to get to downtown, uptown, and even Brooklyn without any hassle.

I enjoyed my stay at this place, it was cute and comfortable, very close to my conference. The host was very quick to respond to all my questions and kindly let me drop my suitcase off at about 1:30 pm on move in day. Move in was intuitive, as was move out. I would note for people who take shoes off in the house that since it’s a garden level/basement area, it’s a good idea to bring some house slippers, because the floors are somewhat cold (even for socks).

Location Location Location! Very hard to find a neat place to stay on UWS. This apartment has great restaurant selection right at the door step. Either for a cozy dinner or kids crazy morning routine. Keep in mind this is NYC so not elevator access if you need but it was ok for us even with stroller. Overall recommend this place if you budget allows.

Benjamin was a great host and very responsive. We have 3 dogs that travel with us and sometimes finding an Airbnb can be difficult. With a dedicated parking spot and grassy fenced in back yard this Airbnb was perfect for us. The space looked just like the photos, clean and everything we needed. The location was great, a quick walk to the light rail and we were able to get over to the city quickly. Will definitely be looking to book here again when we travel this way in the future.

This is the best air bnb experience I have ever had. The place itself was absolutely beautiful, curated thoughtfully, attention to detail, every comfort you could want and more. I was best man for a wedding, and this served as home base for the wedding party. They all also got air bnbs in NYC and it was just an onslaught on complaints - this air bnb was nothing but rave review. A big part of that was the host, Anthony. Anthony was extremely accomodating, responsive, generous, thoughtful, proactive - and kind. I am 100% going to be looking to stay here every time I come to NYC, I feel no desire to go anywhere else or even consider a hotel. If you're thinking about it, just do it - you will not regret it. 10/10!!!!

Our family of 4 stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect. We were able to walk to the path in 5 min to connect to the NYC subways. On the walk, you pass multiple cafes and coffee shops. Great craft beer and wine shop on the corner. Pizza shop, Basile’s, right next to the PATH is perfect for a late night snack. The beds were comfortable, and even though there was some street noise heard at night, a sound machine was provided to help lull you to sleep. The only thing you have to be aware of is the unit is located on the 2nd floor, and you have to go up a narrow set of stairs which can be hard with multiple suitcases. Other than that, a comfortable and convenient place to stay with everything within walking distance!

Great location. Easy access to Manhattan. Very helpful host. Clean apartment. Will definitely stay here again when visiting NY. Very enjoyable experience.

This Airbnb was perfect for our needs! It was clean, comfortable, and close to public transit. AJ was easy to get a hold of and he even brought us chargers twice. It's in a beautiful neighborhood, too. There are lots of options to eat around the place.

Being welcomed by the entire family to getting end to end support during the stay, it was a great experience staying at this bnb .. amazing view , kitchen fully stacked , very prompt response , extremely helpful attitude… would recommend stay here if you want to be just around NYC but don’t want the hustle bustle of the city

My partner and I really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is just like the photos, and in a lovely neighborhood with grocery, coffee, restaurants, subway, etc. nearby. The bed is super comfortable...amazing water pressure...all located in a quiet building. I would definitely stay here again!
