Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Upper East Side, 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!!

Mark is an extremely responsive host. The cottage was quaint and had exactly what we needed for our stay. It was clean, and he was proactive about communication with us as well as responsive when we had questions. The area has lots of great restaurants but is still safe and quiet. We will absolutely be back as I visit the area often. Five star review!

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!

Location, location, location... Can't beat it. Endless opportunities for food, drinks, parks and more. The unit was clean, well thought out and fairly large for Brooklyn standards. It was exactly what we were hoping for.

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!

Jian's place is clean, comfortable, and a good value for a short stay. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, the apt is a 15 minute bus ride to downtown Flushing, and 5 minutes by uber from LGA. The neighborhood is quiet, and I felt very safe walking late at night. However you will hear the planes taking off from LGA. Check-in is via a keypad and Jian responds quickly to any questions. There was a glitch at the beginning of the stay which Jian resolved quickly. The nearest subway into Manhattan is from downtown Flushing, so traveling into Manhattan can take 90 minutes, or even longer if returning late at night as the buses from Flushing run less frequently. The bed and linens are comfortable and of good quality, the bathroom has a large step-in shower with great water pressure and instant hot water. Flushing is a great destination for authentic Chinese food with more variety and better prices than Chinatown. I definitely recommend Jian's place.

We really enjoyed our stay - the unit was absolutely perfect for what we needed and acted as the perfect base for all things New York being a one minute walk from the station! Krystal was extremely friendly, responsive and helpful - would highly recommend !

Excellent home in a fabulous neighborhood! Sara was incredibly responsive and friendly throughout our stay. There wasn't any air-conditioning to ease the heat of the really hot days, but the location and cleanliness of the unit was worth the steamy moments. Also - it is very easy to find parking on this street! What an unexpected surprise!

Milton's home was perfect for our New York trip. It was just the right size, with the right amenities. It was easy to get downtown on the express A train, and we also were able to walk to historic sites in Harlem. Milton was so friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to meet him. Thank you!

Henri’s place has an excellent location in Manhattan with walking distance to many places and short commute by bus or subway to most attractions. Super quick check-in and check-out process. It’s right next to Korea town so plenty of good Korean/Asian options restaurants and bars that open til midnight or 24/7. The room itself is big enough for four of us since we spent most of the days outside. Great experience overall!

Great place but probably not the best if your 5’10 or taller

Heather was immensely helpful and got us settled in no time. Flexible with checking and checkout and it was all that we had hoped for in terms of comfort and convenience. Loved it. Will come again.

We drove in from NC and found a near by parking garage (booked months in advanced) to store our car for the week. We're honked and yelled at driving...best experience (was on our bucket list). Location is perfect.. walkable to Central park, Broadway shows, times square, places to eat and drink, Hudsen river, and the subway. The place itself is perfect and gives the feel as if you were a New Yorker, which was exactly what we wanted to experience. Enjoy the leg burn going up the stairs every night after an all day walk-athon in Manhattan, to a cozy studio with a hot shower. Elena's place was perfect and allowed us to scratch off everything on our Manhattan bucket list. Highly recommend, coming from a farming NC couple.

Mira is a wonderful host. Very helpful and responsive. The location is, for New York, surprisingly quite. Also no noise from the neighbours at all. We always felt safe in the area where the appartment is located. As a matter of fact we were quite happy to walk back from Timesquare to the appartment after midnight. The appartment is well appointed with all the amenities to make it a most comfortable stay. It was excellent value for money! Thank you so much Mira to make us feel so welcome.

This place is hands down, one of the best Airbnbs that I’ve ever stayed in. The apartment was easy to find and looked just like the pictures. The unit is ground level however it is very quiet and you feel very safe. Everything was spotless and you can tell that Elgha takes great care of her property. Elgha is extremely responsive and very friendly. I highly recommend this place. I can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful place with great views. Highly recommended for people visiting NY for the first time.

Great place! Amazing views and walkable to broadway area and Chelsea!

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.

I felt home at once in this beautifully furnished place. Antony was friendly and welcoming, and I could not have been more comfortable. The neighborhood felt very safe and was not noisy, and I found everything I needed within a short walk. I would not hesitate to stay here again, and although 6 stars is not a rating, I was more comfortable here than at many other places I have rated with a 5. I recommend it without reservation.

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.

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

Our family had a wonderful stay at Hugo’s! The apartment was beautiful, very clean and the location was excellent!

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!
