    The duplex is wonderful - it was better even than the pictures. We were pleasantly surprised to find it quiet considering the busy city, and we slept like babies in comfortable beds. Joris helped us over text to get us settled in and find anything we needed; communication was super easy and effective. We stayed with our two kids, and it was the perfect size for us. The washer and dryer kept us from having to check any luggage, which is always easier when traveling with tiny monsters. We'll be returning next year!

    Great apartment and super neighbourhood. Great restaurants! Joris was very helpful and our stay in New York went well. Clean and well furnished apartment, even a small nice terrace. A quiet area which we appreciate much. I can highly recommend both Joris as a host and his apartment.

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Victor

    Joris was great - friendly and accommodating. The duplex is on a lovely sunny quiet street that is very centrally located. The bright rooms, generous sized 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms made our stay enjoyable, comfortable and easy. A special treat was the direct access to the courtyard and garden. We highly recommend the place, and would like to stay there again during our next visit to NYC.

    The Host was nice and very concerned to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The apartment was nice and comfortable, with plenty of light and a private backyard. Its location is close to the subway station.

    Joris was a great host! Check in was easy. Boris was very helpful with all our questions. The neighborhood is beautiful and location is just perfect. The apartment is pretty but looks better in the pictures. A/C was not working properly, it keeps turning off. The patio is great! Thank you Joris for a great stay!

    Location above all perfect - quiet street yet walking distance to grand central, Central Park, 5th ave Well equipped apartment - good quality furniture / beds. Only 1 airco unit on 1st floor, basement room fairly cool at evening yet could need upgrade with airco too Host punctual and attentive - providing assistance where needed. Recommended for a stay when in NY

  • Anikó

    I agree with an other guest who wrote that the flat looks much better on the pictures. We were a bit unlucky because of the flooding downstairs (it is not a fault of the host - of course - but I would have been appriciate it if the carpeter would have come just after our leaving). The location is great! The arriving and the leaving went very well and easy!

    My friends and I had a great experience at Joris' place. It was a wonderful base of operations, close to good places to eat and to subway transit. The beds were comfortable and clean as expected.

    Everything was as listed. The location of the place is amazing, about a 15 minute walk to times square and we felt very safe as a group of girls. The house was the same as the pictures shown and totally exceeded our expectations. This is a great find and highly recommended!

    Thank you Joris, we had a good time in the middle of Manhattan. Everything is great! Clean , quiet and cozy. We found and enjoyed the first class Ramen just at the corner! Recommend for big family or friends!

  • Diane

    This apartment is in a very good location. 20 minute walk to Times Square. Close to subway. 10 minutes to closest hop on, hop off bus, so really well situated to enjoy the sights of manhattan. May be large by New York standards, but really very small rooms, other than downstairs bedroom. No natural air flow, so very warm for sleeping. Unfortunately hear every footfall of upstairs tenant , which also impacts on sleep. Good outweighs the bad, however.

  • David

    Very easy to get in. I was alone so didn't use the downstairs, but it more than met my needs. Overall, thumbs up, so not much more to say. Perfect place for two couples or a family.

  • Eric

    Would we stay again: YES! What we loved: (1) Location (2) Quietness! (3) Comfortable beds What we didn't: (1) Initially given wrong address. That made arrival stressful. (2) Plumbing issues - that were fixed very quickly after they were reported to Host (3) TV Remote did not work - which was fixed very quickly when reported to host. (4) Initially no curtain on downstairs outside door so morning sun came in. Solved by rigging up a sheet to cover window in door. (5) Lack of aircon downstairs. Fan only. Downstairs bedroom would be too hot in summer.

    After our previous AirBnB was cancelled on the day before our trip to NYC, Joris graciously allowed us to book his flat in Midtown East last minute. He was very responsive to any questions our group had; including being extremely accommodating in allowing us to store our luggage as we arrived/departed before/after check in/out. The apartment was perfect. Located in Midtown East near the UN, in an unbelievably quiet neighborhood. Train stops were accessible within a few short blocks of walking distance. Its close proximity to 5th Avenue, Central Park, & Times Square allowed us to have access to all the touristy NYC sites without any of the noise. I'd highly recommend the flat to anyone. On a side note Joris was in no small way, responsible for salvaging a surprise birthday trip for my girlfriend, which I sincerely appreciate. Thanks again!

    I visited New York with my parents at the beginning of October. I lived in New York before and I travel to New York quite often, therefore, I am quite familiar with city. 1. Joris is a very nice person. He is always willing to assist you and to accommodate to your requests. He answers almost immediately all your messages. I am quite grateful with him as we could agree on an early check-in and a late check-out. In fact, my parents are in their 80s and I needed to make the trip a comfortable experience for them. 2. Ups (i) The apartment is extremely well located (51st and Second Avenue). It is in midtown and you can enjoy the city just walking. The subway is three blocks away from the apartment. (ii) Even though in midtown, the neighbourhood is tranquil, neat, charming and not noisy. (iii) For New York standards, the apartment is big. Please consider -if you have never been in New York- that places size tend to be quite small in Manhattan. Space is a luxury in the city. (iv) The apartment is on a first floor which is quite helpful as New York's buildings sometimes do not have elevator (you should always ask if there is one if you are renting an apartment). (v) The apartment has one living - dining room, a small kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. I will not recommend it for more than 4 people. One bedroom is located on the first floor and the second one is located in the basement. (vi) The apartment is cozy. It looks like in the pictures. (vii) The patio is lovely. It is very unusual to find an apartment with its own access to a patio in New York. (vii) The beds are quite comfortable. I travel a lot and stay in several 4-5 stars hotels. The beds were as comfortable as the ones I find in my trips. 3. Matters to be considered: (i) Being the apartment in an old building you can hear the noise of your neighbours, particularly at night, which may cause troubles for having a restful sleep. My parents, who stayed on the first floor, were awaken some nights for the noise coming from the second floor (around midnight, apparently they move furnitures). (ii) The room located in the basement is particularly noisy at nights. It is next to a corridor where the washing machines are located and which also provides access to the patio. As I slept in that room, I needed to wear ear-plugs for not to be awaken at nights. However, one night not even the ear-plugs helped. I heart people walking and talking in the corridor very late that night. I walked up scared as I thought there was actually somebody in my room! (iii) The door in the basement needs curtains. In fact, there is one door which provides access to the patio with a window which allows people in the patio to see...

    El apartemento era estupendo, super bien ubicado, limpio y cómodo. Joris fue el perfecto anfitrión, muy atento y nos puso las cosas muy fáciles en cuanto a llegada y a salida (que nos dejó salir más tarde sin problemas ya que nuestro vuelo salía por la tarde). Sin duda repetiríamos!!!

    The duplex with ita back yard is lovely. The neigbourhood is great. Joris is a very attentive and helpful host. We found the place Ideal for our extended family: grandfather, grandmother, son and daughter -in -law and three grandchildren. Hope tp come again Prof Tamar Sovran and family.

    O apartamento é muito conveniente, próximo de zonas muito interessantes da cidade (5ª avenida, palácio da ONU e mesmo times square), com estação de metro e de comboio próximas. Restaurantes e lojas próximas e em grande quantidade. É um apartamento grande (nós éramos 5 e estivemos bem, para 7, com 2 a dormir na sala, chega perfeitamente). Recomendo sem dúvida. Como pontos menos positivos, refiro que é um apartamento antigo, com os problemas que isso pode trazer. Além do mais, é um pouco barulhento, especialmente por causa dos vizinhos. Foi sempre fácil comunicar com o Joris e ele resolveu de imediato os pequenos problemas que tivemos.

    Great little place in a very convenient location which we were very lucky to find at the last minute ( after we made a booking on ar B and B which turned out to be a fake. Joris was very responsive and helpful and his place cosy and warm ( although a little drafty at times). We really enjoyed our stay in NYC and being in such a great location

    We really loved the location of this apt. Some great restaurants near by like Ethos and Upsiders oh and the best darn donut shop a block away. The apt. Itself was clean and equipped with everything we needed. It's a lovely place to stay. Communication was very good too. Highly recommend it.

    Great place to stay in NY. The street is quiet, but right around the corner you find everything you need: Great restaurants, pubs, supermarket, pharmacy. Traveled with our little dog and the backyard was wonderful to hang out.

    Joris place was fantastic. It is located in an area that you can be in 10 minutes by walking to Central Park and also very close to the moma. Joris is very helpful when you need something or you have some questions.

    The place is near to a lot a great restaurants and shops, and has several subway stations a few blocks away. The apartment is spacious and nice. My only comment would be you can hear every step from the apartment above, even late at night. But aside from that I would definitely recommend it!

    Very good location, quiet neighborhood in midtown east. You're a few blocks away from the main attractions so be prepared to walk. Everything is accurate, would recommend and would stay again.

    Fantastic space in the middle of Midtown for family or small groups. Patio made the whole difference. The space and amenities were great and location unbeatable specially for someone that is looking to be closer to the United Nations and other landmarks. Looking forward to stay again!

    The apartment is roomy by NYC standards and well located. The accommodations are pleasant without being luxurious. The apartment looks just like in the pictures. Check-in was smooth and as expected. Great location. Note: Being one apartment in a building with other apartments, there was the occasional distraction of footsteps above. Also, there isn't an air conditioner downstairs. In hot weather this could present a challenge, though it was in the 70s when we were there and it was fine.

    L'appartement de Joris est très bien situé, très central, mais calme. Il y a beaucoup d'options de couchage, idéal pour y séjourner avec des amis ou famille étendue. Et il y a 2 salles de bain, ce qui est très confortable. La cuisine est fonctionnelle et le petit jardin derrière, charmant. Nous sommes très contents avec notre séjour dans ce logement et nous y retournerions sans hésitation lors d'un prochain voyage.

    Joris' apartment is a good one. Center in the Manhattan area and the location is convenient and quite. The backyard garden is a shining point. We had garden breakfast and all of us enjoyed very much. Joris is also a good communicator with quick response. The stay was a good one! Thanks!

    Décevant; malgré une situation très pratique, centrale, beaucoup de resto et de commerces dans le voisinage. Appartement relativement calme et arrière cour privée, idéale pour petit déjeuner au soleil mais mauvais entretien général; placard défoncé, chaise cassée, vaisselle incomplète, canapé lit inutilisable car pas de draps, prises électriques HS dans le salon, fuite d'eau des étages supérieurs sur la climatisation occasionnant un goutte a goutte bruyant toute la nuit, et Joris résolument absent malgre plusieurs message.

    Great location and enjoyable place to come home to after working in the city. There's no air conditioning in any rooms than the living room, but the temperature was in the upper 70s so it was quite comfortable throughout. We experienced a fair amount of noise from people walking in adjacent spaces all hours of the night, unfortunately, but enjoyed our visit immensely overall! The outdoor patio is a great amenity, as well.

    This is a great place to stay with a nice neighbourhood and easy access to most attractions. It's quite close to the UN so worth checking if there's a Session on as the roads may be closed to vehicles. The yard is a big plus.

  • Ricki

    spacious apartment in great NYC location. comfortably slept 5 adults with reasonable (but not overly spacious) living room. Joris was great; very responsive and quick to answer any questions or issues I had. One piece of advice: light sleepers should bring ear plugs as the old building creaks and doesn't absorb/block noise from other units or outside. Not a big deal in the scheme of things and hardly uncommon in NY; just something for future guests to be mindful of.

  • Ashley

    We enjoyed our stay at Joris’ place. The location was great and surrounded by many bars and restaurants. It was an easy walk to many of the touristy places. We had family who hasn’t stayed in NYC before so they enjoyed walking to Times square and the tree at Rockefeller center. The only reason this wasn’t 5 out of 5 stars was that there was a huge draft downstairs from the door and non of the space heaters worked. However, i did message Joris about it and he instantly got back to me and apologized that they wouldn’t be able to seal the door until Monday. So unfortunately we froze the first night, but the second night we were able to tuck towels around the door the next night to help significantly. Overall, it’s worth the value, the pictures are true to the rooms, and Joris was accommodating. Would stay again!

    Posizione perfetta per visitare NY, molto carino e utile il giardino (anche se noi non lo abbiamo utilizzato causa neve) , ottime le dotazioni della casa e della cucina. Joris ha risposto immediatamente alle nostre richieste ed è stato molto gentile permettendoci di lasciare le valige nel suo appartamento dopo il ceck out. Perfetti sia il ceck in sia il ceck out. Consiglio vivamente questa casa nel cuore di Manhattan

    It was a great location with easy access to many mid-town attractions within a short walk and subway lines nearby to easily get uptown or downtown quickly. There were lots of restaurants and shop nearby but the block itself was pretty quiet. The apartment was big enough to easily fit all 7 of us. It was nice to have a small kitchen so that we could fix snacks and breakfast. The patio looked great, though it was too cold when we were there to use it. We did have trouble with the hot water, despite trying to take short showers, we only had enough hot water for 4-5 showers (there were 7 of us). I should also note that the host also allowed us to store our bags before check in and after we checked out, which was immensely helpful and made it much easier to take full advantage of our weekend in the city. Overall, it was a great location and minus the hot water issues met our needs as a home base to explore the city.

    Infelizmente eu e minha família tivemos alguns problemas em nossa estadia. O problema começou no check in. Segundo o procedimento padrão do proprietário, me foi fornecido um código de acesso ao prédio e a porta do apartamento estaria destrancada. Ao chegar no local na hora de check in combinada (16:00hs) me deparei com uma pessoa que estava ainda limpando o apartamento. Essa pessoa não sabia fornecer qualquer informação de uso das instalações e foi embora sem deixar a chave do apartamento. Esse foi o primeiro transtorno, pois tive que ficar dentro do apartamento até o dia seguinte às 11:00 am, tendo que cancelar dois compromissos já agendados previamente. No mesmo dia de nossa chegada ao tentar abrir a porta de um armário, a mesma se desprendeu e caiu sobre minha cabeça. No dia seguinte pela manhã, reparamos que haviam cacos de vidro no carpete e minha filha criança quase se cortou. Os incidentes foram imediatamente comunicados ao Joris, mas nada aconteceu, eu mesma tive que limpar o carpete e a porta do armário ficou insegura e nos colocando em risco durante toda a estadia. O horário de meu voo foi modificado pela companhia aérea para tarde da noite e eu solicitei um check out tardio, para evitar que ficássemos com crianças o dia todo na rua. O meu pedido foi negado, sendo alegado que haveriam hospedes chegando. Foi me dada opção de deixar as malas no corredor do prédio. Considerei um insulto essa opção, pois colocaria em risco a segurança de nossa bagagem. Mesmo tendo perdido quase 24 horas de minha estadia por ter que esperar a chave em nossa chegada, o anfitrião não considerou em nada os transtornos que tivemos. Não conheci pessoalmente o Joris, embora ele tenha respondido a todos meus emails, alguns tardiamente, com educação. O apartamento é bom, os colchões não são confortáveis, a cozinha não é muito bem equipada para pessoas que realmente cozinham. Eramos quatro pessoas e haviam somente 4 copos e 4 cobertores (sentimos frio e não haviam instruções sobre como ajustar o aquecedor central); as panelas velhas e encardidas, o forno de microondas e fogão com restos de alimentos. à noite e pela manhã cedo escutávamos passos e barulhos dos vizinhos de cima e o aquecedor central fazia um barulho a noite toda. A localização do apartamento é excelente. Não tenho certeza se voltaria a me hospedar nesse apartamento outra vez.

    This is an excellent, comfortable, reasonably-priced place in a great neighborhood, hosted by a responsive, clear, considerate, and pleasant host. I would absolutely stay here again. The listing is very accurate, and it is easy to tell that Joris is an experienced and capable host.

    The apartment is in an excellent area and centrally located for sightseeing in the city. It was ideal for a family of 5 visiting New York for a long weekend.

Check in was straightforward and we enjoyed or stay.

    This place was so convenient to restaurants, bars and the subway, I would recommend it just for that. It’s in a nice quiet neighbourhood. The place needs a refresh but overall, we were comfortable. The ad says it had two queen beds but it doesn’t. It has one queen and one double. The other beds are single beds and there is a pullout sofa. The beds were all very comfortable though. The host was very responsive.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Boris’s place. The location is great and we could easily walk to the main midtown attractions or take a short Uber ride around the city. Boris was extremely responsive host and let us store our luggage for couple of hours before check in, which was extremely helpful. We would come back.

    We had a great stay at Boris' place. Great location, with a larger living space than I anticipated. As others have noted, though it may need an overall refresh, it was clean, acommodating, well located, and an excellent choice for a group. I would definitely stay again! Thank you Boris!

    Boris’s place is located in secure and quite part of mid-town close to many attractions including very good restaurants. It’s spacious, clean and quiet. Boris himself is also very responsive and accommodated our early check-in with no hassles. Simply, two thumbs up!!

    We were two families with kids and enjoyed the whole aparment pretty much. We used the outdoor area also and it was very nice too. The apartment itself was very quite if you stay in a hotel in Manhattan you know exactly what i mean. Everything was there, also in the kitchen. Boris answeres very fast and friendly. All our questions were answered and he was helpful all the time. We can highly recommend staying in his apartment. Thank you

    Our stay at Boris’s in NYC was great! Boris was extremely communicative, helpful and quick to respond. The location was fantastic, just a few blocks from the subway and on a beautiful and quiet street. The patio was a great addition as well. The door lock was a little tricky and the AC from the apt above leaked but onsite maintenance responded extremely fast and all around a great place to stay especially for a group!

    Great location on upper east side near 2nd Avenue, large enough to accommodate the whole family. Older apartment building, 1st floor apartment, needs some upgrading of furnishings.

    The apartment is spacious by New York city standards with a wonderful back yard patio. We enjoyed spending evenings in this rare private outdoor space. Apartment has a window a/c unit that adequately cools the space when needed. Boris is an attentive host and made our stay most enjoyable.

    Wonderful location, very clean and home-y! Only trouble we had with the place was with the locks on the front door, the keys get stuck sometimes. But everything else was spectacular!

    Great location in turtle bay. Quiet neighbors and the subway is only about 2 blocks away. The switch for the hot water is behind the TV (took a bit to find it). Only streaming TV package, no local / cable. But you are coming to see the sights anyway. Really a great space. The pictures are accurate.

    Amazing, convenient location! Lower level of the apartment is accessed via steep steps, not good for those with mobility issues. The apartment was clean and reasonably well stocked. Boris was a responsive host.

    Great location - easy to walk to the city and there is a 24-hr pharmacy right around the corner. Good size for our group of five. We came from Florida so it took a bit to get used to the cold weather and how to use the furnace, but other than that, we enjoyed our home for the weekend. Boris was quick to respond and even allowed us an early check-in. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Boris!

    Boris was an excellent host. Check in and check in was easy. We arrived earlier than expected and were able to leave our luggage and go out with no hassle. The apartment was just as expected and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked and had a full sized refrigerator. The gas stove worked well and we cooked breakfast for 6 each morning before going out. The neighborhood was quiet but we were within walking distance of excellent restaurants, drug stores, etc. We absolutely loved the location. This is my first time booking through Airbnb and I could not be more pleased. It was a wonderful experience and completely hassle-free.

    This AirBnB is in a NYC central location, and Boris was quick to communicate with us. There are some areas of improvement for this apartment: 1. Bedsheets are stained and the towels are threadbare 2. Baths are moldy where the tub and tile meet 3. AC unit in the window allows the cold air to pour into the unit 4. Electrical plates are missing on outlets 5. Smoke detector is missing downstairs 6. Baseboards throughout the house caked with grit and grime 7. Upstairs chair seat is not connected to the legs - a real hazard 8. Light sockets are missing light bulbs 9. Downstairs drapes are nailed to the wall 10. Hard to sleep with tenant walking upstairs (not sure what you do about that) My wife wiped the steam from mirror in the basement bathroom because there’s no vent, and the towel was black with dirt. Overall we felt the home needs a real deep clean. At the time we checked we were told that the wash and dryer were temporarily inoperable.

    We came with 3 girls between the ages of 8-13 for the holidays. Boris’ place was in an excellent location. The beds were very comfortable. The building was old and historic, but he provided heaters in rooms where winter- time drafts would be an issue. We were very comfortable! If The coffee pot was drip which was fine, but could be updated. Boris was very responsive to our needs! Wonderful trip! If you would like a place close enough to the park and 5th ave, but quiet and away from the crowds, this is perfect!

    Great location, and a good space to have family together. Boris is very easy to communicate with. The apt could use some basic updating (only one towel bar between both bathrooms, broken hooks in the downstairs bath and missing half of towel bar in upstairs bath; door rail on master closet upstairs is broken, so if you the doors it's a trick to get them to rest flat again). Our stay was in December, cold outside. The downstairs room did not heat up well at all. Very cold at night, especially for the person sleeping on the daybed. Even with the addition of the red blanket from the closet and the gray blanket from the upstairs bed, that bed was cold both nights. Somehow addressing the uneven heating or adding a true comforter to that bed would help. Ate out, so didn't use the kitchen except for drinks. Looks well-stocked. Very easy checkin and checkout, place to store luggage before and after trip.

    The apartment was in a great place, quiet but close to many amenities, including a CVS, and many restaurants to try out. Was there for a conference and the location was great to where we needed to be. The apartment was clean, and Boris was great with checking in and making sure that everything was all set for check in and through out our stay. With it being cold in NYC the apartment was nice and warm. Would definitely stay there again. Next time hopefully for fun instead of business. Once again, thank you for a great stay.

    Boris hosted us in NY, we found the duplex to be in a strategic location for the visit. we were able to walk to most destinations and had plenty of food options in the area. The apartment was very clean, and we had all of what was needed for our stay.

    Overall, if you're looking for a private, stress-free place for a quiet escape from the city, Boris's apartment is a great location. The building makes it easy to get around the city and find local offerings. We were able to take a short walk to see some of the sights and get food, and it's convenient for traveling further north and south in the city. The apartment itself is roomy and comfortably fit five people. You won't need to worry about the apartment while you're there - you can just drop your bags off and go enjoy the city. It gets understandably cold in January, but Boris provides plenty of blankets and space heaters to go with the apartment's heating. (Hot water's not an issue.) We'd stay here again given the chance.

    Boris was a GREAT host! She took care of all of our families needs while on our trip to NY. The location of her house was perfect for getting around the city. After we checked out she even allowed us to use her storage space to keep our luggage while we saw the city before our flight that evening. I would definitely recommend and stay at her place again when I come back to NY! Thanks again Boris!
