Here's the thing - times are tough, and we know how to turn lemons into Mike's Hard Lemonade.
We have a beautiful and spacious first-floor 2-bedroom apt. in Harlem, one room in which we're looking to rent out on a nightly basis to responsible, mature adults who want a gorgeous place to stay while visiting Manhattan but think that paying $350 a night for a shoddy hotel is insane.
We're non-discriminating kind of people - we don't care what you look like - but we do expect you to be polite, clean and easygoing. We'd also prefer it if you didn't steal our stuff.
One thing you should know - we're a young, professional gay couple (both 27 years old). Not that that has any bearing on your stay with us, but we'd hate to have to turn someone away for being a bigot. If you're open-minded enough to accept that gays, in fact, do exist, then get in touch.
Also, we have a little puppy named Jaxon. He's super fun and lovable - and he'll expect you to treat him the same.
During your stay you can enjoy an air-conditioned/heated private room, fresh (and super soft) Ralph Lauren towels, access to our in-unit washer/dryer (no charge), flat-screen LCD TVs, and all the cereal you can eat (until we run out).
We have a Wii that you can play, too. But we'll warn you - you might get schooled in Mario Kart. Just sayin'.
Our apt. is only a few blocks away from the 1 local subway train and just up the hill from the A/C & B/D express trains. We're just minutes away from Yankee Stadium and Columbia University, and you can be in Times Square in 20 minutes by subway. The apartment is easy to get to by subway from Grand Central, Penn Station and Port Authority. A cab ride from LaGuardia is relatively inexpensive (about $40).
Any other questions, just send an e-mail and we'll reply as quickly (and honestly) as possible. $85 per night is valid for up to two people.
P.S. We will be home during your stay. This will be a shared-space situation. But a fun, inexpensive one nonetheless. We've already met some pretty fantastic people from all over the world, so the bar is high. Don't bring it down.
Out-of-Towners Only. No deposit necessary; pay upon arrival.
Testimonials:
We had a great time in New York which was made possible by staying with [the hosts] in their nice, awesome apartment in Morningside near Harlem. Both the bedroom and washroom are clean and immaculate. The apartment is cozy and gives you a bonus feel and experience of what everyday living in New York is like. Great location with express subway to downtown and a direct bus to LaGuardia close by. [They] are great hosts. Easy-going and friendly. Definitely next time we visit we will give them a shout. A definite recommend for those of you looking for a more real New York experience."
-Donald and Hannah, Vancouver, B.C.
"My friend Jeremy and I recently stayed for two nights and loved every
second of it. I have to compliment our hosts for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I found the room very warm and welcoming. I would extremely recommend this and I would certainly stay
again!!!"
-Daryl, San Francisco
"Thanks for letting us stay at your place. You guys were great... can't find two nicer guys in all of New York. The apartment was SPOTLESS... and very well decorated. Considering that hotels are around $350 a night this was a killer deal! We paid less for three nights than it would have cost for one night in a hotel. There was a washer and dryer... lots of towels, a comfortable bed and the subway is only a few blocks away. The neighborhood was nice and peaceful. Next time we go to New York you guys are the first ones we call! Thanks guys!!"
-Ivan, South Dakota
"It was great staying with you guys; you made me feel so welcome and your place was just fabulous. I had no idea what to expect, as Craigslist can be daunting, but your place was extremely clean, modern and spacious. The apartment is in a great uptown location, near a subway that can get you to Times Square in 15 minutes, and is also close to all the Central Park Museums and Galleries (D Train- faster and cheaper than a NY cab). I was not able to find a decent hotel in NY for love or money and via Craiglist I found not just a great place to stay but also gained two life long friends who I will definitely stay in contact with."
-Mark, London
"I was very glad I decided to stay in this cozy apartment in Harlem. It was my first time responding to an ad on Craigslist, and I really didn't know what to expect. Both of you were so welcoming & friendly and the room was very comfortable. It certainly beats staying in a $250-$500/night room in the heart of Manhattan. I was even able to use the washer/dryer when my luggage had not shown up the second day I was there. Will definitely look you up when my travel plans take me to NYC again."
-Mike, Bermuda
My boyfriend and I were skeptical about staying with someone off of craigslist but we had a blast. A big thanks to our wonderful hosts. The apartment was lovely and so were they. So much better then any hotel stay.
-Ashley and Alan, Maryland
