Quiet, very small one bedroom apartment in Murray Hill. Empire State Building, Chrysler Building and Grand Central are all within walking distance. Grocery stores, drugstores, restaurants, bars and boutiques nearby.

In the apartment, there's a welcome packet in English, Spanish and French loaded with specifics and maps and such.

The bedroom is roomy at 10x12 and has a new, queen-sized, memory foam bed. Awesome hotel-grade pillows and high thread count sheets. There is drawer space and closet space for your clothes.

The living/dining space is very small. Full kitchen with new appliances. Fully stocked with pots, dishes and flatware. Coffee in the freezer, dry milk and sugar (and tea) in the cupboard, eggs in the fridge.

I keep the price low because there's a bit of self-service involved: You strip the bed of your used sheets and used towels so my amazing cleaning lady knows which is which. Then the linens will be ready for the next guests!

A note on temperature:
SUMMER: There's a new AC unit in the bedroom. I ask that you use it only when you are in the apt and not run it when you are out. I suggest keeping the bedroom door closed to cool down the room quickly for a good night's sleep.

WINTER: Being New York City, we have radiator heat. There's no thermostat but it's plenty warm in here. I usually keep a window open.

There is a QUIK PARK lot across the street; $36 for a 24-hour period. Street parking is available during NON rush hours; this street is the outbound entrance to the Midtown Tunnel. Despite being so close to this traffic, the apartment is really quiet!
Easy access to M15 (2nd Ave), M(phone number hidden)rd Ave) and M34/16 (34th St crosstown) buses and 6 train (Park Ave at 33rd St).

  • Fun little apartment in great location! Bed was super comfy and the apt was remarkably quiet. I had a great stay and would love to stay here again.

  • Adrienne's apartment was a pleasure to stay in. The bed is incredibly comfortable, the apartment is quiet, clean, centrally located, and the neighbors are friendly. Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to meet her but she was easy to reach and very helpful. Good vibes all around, I will definitely stay here again!

  • Adrienne's apartment is right in the middle of NYC, great location with convenient subway stops at 33rd and Grand Central. When we arrived a friend of Adrienne's met us at the apartment and showed us how to use the keys. The apartment is exactly as you see in the photos, with perhaps a couple extra pieces of furniture added. The radiator seems to be automatically on, so it does get a bit warm. We were able to regulate the temperatuer by opening the windows and, if needed, turning on the AC. The bathroom was clean and a good size for the city, the only comment is the pole in the corner gets really hot and it nearly burned me once. The water for the matter also gets VERY VERY hot very quickly. Adrienne was very helpful while we were in NYC despite not being in town herself; she responded quickly to emails asking for help (i.e. we couldn't find the log-in information for the wifi). There was a nice welcome package on the kitchen table with little bits of information about the city. The kitchen was a good size as well (for the city) and we were able to use the fridge. Overall it was a perfect place for our trip to NYC and we will DEFINITELY try to use Adrienne's place next time!!

  • if you want someone bothering you about using too many towels then stay here .

  • This place is centrally located, was able to walk most places that I needed to go. Very comfy bed (memory foam mattress). Great shower. Very clean. What else can you ask for?

  • We had an excellent stay at Adrienne's. She is very friendly and her place is great. Would definitely stay there again.

  • To begin with, this was my first time using the Airbnb Service and my first time in NYC. Adrienne's placed looked very warm and cozy in her photos and was priced the most economical for my budget. Setting up this reservation was very easy. Adrienne replied to my email and accepted my reservation. She called before my arrival to NY to confirm and went over the procedure for our stay. She was very helpful with information on how to get to her apartment from the airport and where to pick up her keys. Her apartment was located in the most welcoming area (to my experience) in New York. Her Murray Hill apartment was close to the metro station, markets, restaurants and bars. What you see in her photos is exactly what you see in her apartment. It is a cozy and welcoming apartment that it you never want to leave. I truly enjoyed my first experience with Airbnb and in NY because I was able to experience it like a local. In the mornings I cooked breakfast, made lunch for my outings, enjoyed a cup of coffee (which was complimentary on her behave) in the evenings. Adrienne left us a package of helpful information with maps, books, things to do in NYC etc. My boyfriend and enjoyed our stay in her apartment and look forward to returning to Murray Hill soon. Thank you Adrienne!

  • everithig was like Adrianne wrote. it is a small apartment but perfect for a couple (like us) or two good friends. perfect location! very old building but in a good and safe neighborhood. she was a perfect and very kind host, even we did not meet her. also her friend Maria, who was charged for the key exchange, was wery kind. we kindly recommend Adrianne as your host!

  • Adrienne's place was perfect! Small as she describes but very well organised and very good vibes to it! The bed was indeed very comfortable which is a definite plus when you have exhausting days around Manhattan (yes, shopping). I didn't get to meet Adrienne personnally since she was away (which is logical if you are renting her place), but picking up the keys and giving them back went smoothly and her friend Maria was very nice and helpful. Would definitely try to book her place next time I come!

  • Perfect host - ideal location, very quiet apt. close to everything. Would definitely stay again.
