Stephanie's apartment was fantastic. The room was absolutely comfortable, the bathroom was impecable and we were not bothered at all by anyone in the house the time we were there. The location was perfect, less than 2 minute walk from two metro stations and less than a minute walk from beautiful central park. Would definitely stay here again!
Magnifique séjour de 3 semaines chez Stéphanie ! Le logement est extrêmement confortable, et très bien situé (10 minutes de Times Square avec la ligne 2 de métro/2 minutes à pieds du Nord de Central Park). De plus, la famille de Stéphanie est formidable : très accueillante, elle vous met à l'aise, et est d'une aide précieuse pour les périples New-Yorkais.
Pour un prochain séjour, j'y retournerai sans hésiter ! MERCI POUR TOUT !
La Maison d'Art suite is a sanctuary in a busy city. Comfortable bed, big shower and tub (including clean towels), and even a mini-kitchen equiped with a kettle and fridge. The accommodation is nestled inbetween three subways, the furtherest one being a 10 minute walk away. If you enjoy walking I recommend walking from the room to the south end of Central Park, it's a rewarding walk. I felt safe walking around the area and really enjoyed the more relaxed atmosohere of the neighbourhood.... More »
We had wonderful time while we were staying at Stephanie's place. The place is very nice, clean and comfortable. The location is good, very close to the subway. I love her family! especially the little boy. strongly recommended! :)
Felt very welcome, comfortable and safe since our arrival. The place was very clean, the bathroom was clean and spacious. The room has a useful big closet and it was very quiet. We could use the kitchen any time in the day to make tea and coffee. Being a block from central park was a real treat. The neighborhood was interesting although there were some streets that looked rough but we didn't have any problems at all. There are plenty of good restaurants and bars in Harlem if you want to...

Stephanie made us feel right at home! The week we were there, another couple was renting the room across the hall, but we rarely saw them. My fiance and I spent a week here for multiple different interviews in the city, and we had no problem getting anywhere from this location. There was easy access to multiple subway lines.
Stephanie was a fantastic host and her apartment a wonderful place to rest and recoup after long days of sightseeing! The apartment is in a very handy location, next to a few subway stations and with all facilities within walking distance. We had a great few days in NYC and would recommend Stephanie's place to anyone who wants a cosy, lovely place to visit NYC from. Thank you!!
Très bonne expérience avec Stéphanie et sa famille, accueillante et enthousiaste. L'hébergement est de qualité, et l'environnement agréâble à souhait.
Un plan de la ville, ainsi qu'une liste de toutes adresses utiles était prêts à notre arrivée.
Le lieu est très facile d'accès en métro, taxi et est à deux pas de Central Park Nord.
I.D.É.A.L
Allez-y sans hésiter, très bon rapport qualité/ prix sur l'offre!
La Maison d´Art Suite was very great! Fomos recebidos pela simpática e solicita Ivete . O quarto é perfeito e igualzinho a foto veiculada pelo site. A vizinhança do Harlem foi bastante tranquila e de fácil acessibilidade. Há drogarias, mercadinhos (grocery store), lavanderias estação de metro, a poucos passos da La Maison.
Stephanie is a great host, she is friendly, welcoming and gave us all the information we needed to have a great time in New York city. Her place is in a great location with easy access to the subways and buses. We would defiantly stay here again and would recommend it to others if you are on a budget but want to stay close to the city in a clean and comfortable place.
Stephanie's family and apartment was great, we stayed for a week at her house and it was the best. NY offers a really tiring experience and you need to have a good night's sleep to keep up with its speed, and staying at Stephanie's really made that possible. One of the best things about it was the closeness to 2 subway stations, central park is just one block to the south. Great neighborhood, very calm. Also her family was the best, her husband was really nice to us and we loved her little... More »
STephanie's cozy room was a major godsend for my girlfriend and i . We braved the highways and drove up from D.C. to Harlem for a reading I was a part of at NYC. We knew the hotels were super pricey and we decided to try airbnb on a whim. Best decision ever. Stephanie's friend met us with the keys once we arrived and led us to our small bedroom. Although there were other guests there, we mostly saw Stephanie, her hubby Abulai, and their cute as a button son. Great location to the subway and... More »
I went by Stephanie's place with my mother and she set up everything for us when we arrived, better than a hotel! we didn't spend much more time with her as we were visiting a lot. She make us feel being independant which is nice. We could use the kitchen in the morning. It was simple, clear efficient, close to the metro. The place is quiet, there are not so many bars around, but we went to the bier restaurant nearby which is good and serve quite late, passed 10:30pm!
Good location, good price and nice hosts. Thank you for your hospitality and help throughout the city. We enjoyed our stay! Tip: go to the baptist church on sunday, it's located near the apartment and is truly worth experiencing.
Stephanie is a wonderful host, we were made to feel very welcome and comfortable for our stay in New York. Very convenient location near the subway and central park, close enough to get to Times Square in about 15 minutes but far enough out to escape the tourists when you've had enough. Stephanie has lots of knowledge about where to go and what to see in the local area, more than willing to share information but also gives you space and privacy. Would love to have had the time to explore more... More »
Stephanie and husband were very friendly and gave lots of helpful info about the area when we got there. The room and apt were clean and pleasant. They were available to chat, yet were not intrusive at all. Quiet apt overall. Fellow guest was polite and cooperative too, in regards to sharing the bathroom.
We stayed at the Chez Chic budget room for a week. Stephanie was a great host, she respected our privacy and she provided us with information about the neighbourhood. The room is quite spacious en very clean. The bathroom is shared with other guests, but although the other room was constantly occupied, we practically never had to wait for the bathroom to be free. The wireless internet worked just fine, just as the television with digital channels.
There are two subway stations at... More »
The room was nice and clean and conformed exactly to the description on airbnb. It was calm and the closet offered a lot of space to put away all my belongings. The kitchen and the living room can be used generously. And to have a bathroom of your own, sometimes shared with guests from the other room, is very agreeable. To be so near to Central Park and the Subway is wonderful either. And Harlem has its own special charm: It is a very varied sort of village within the Big Apple.

We did not get to know Stephanie, but her friend Sophie who welcomed us warmly. Stephanie sent indications how to reach the place from the airport. Sophie answered all our questions and gave us a valuable list with restaurants and recommended places in the neigborhood. The neighborhood is friendly and safe and well connected to metro. The appartment very nice and clean, and we had the possibility to use the little yard, too. We were also allowed to leave our luggage for the rest of the day... More »
Stephanie was not in town while I was there, but her husband was present and he was very nice and helpful. Stephanie's friend, Sophie, met us, gave us the keys and a tour of the apartment. She also provided maps, an events brochure and local restaurant ideas. The whole house was clean. My friend and I needed to leave our bags at the apartment after we checked out and they were very accommodating. It was a wonderful experience.
Excellent value for money, a very clean tidy apartment. and plenty of clean linen. Using the kitchen and late checkout a real bonus. Stephanie was away but Sophie was friendly and helpful, Sharing a bathroom could be a problem with inconsiderate other guests. Close to Subway stations
Sophie and Stephanie's husband were very hospitable. The location is good, very close to transportation. It just wasn't that clean, I found some bugs in the kitchen drawer. Other than that it was ok.
Had a nice few days at Stephanie's place. Stephanie was not there, but a friend/partner of hers met me and set up my visit. She was helpful and friendly as was Stephanie's husband. Slight confusion about my check in day, but it worked out with little drama. Room wasn't decorated or anything, but clean with an a/c unit, desk and comfortable bed. Shared clean bathroom with other travelers who were also friendly. I felt comfortable with everyone there. Wifi access worked well. Location... More »
This was a great apartment, very clean and organized. It was very helpful that Sophie had a package ready for me with maps, recommended places and a guide with events happening in NYC. I would have been lost without those guides! Great hospitality. The apartment is located on the northern part of Manhattan which is more residential and less touristy, but very close to the subway station. Great hosts, thank you so much for everything!
Excellent location. The subway and bus were only a block from the apartment. We could get to Museum Mile in less than 20 minutes from the apartment. We arrived from Florida during a heatwave and the window air conditioner in the bedroom was a welcome relief. Sophie checked us in and made sure we were settled with maps and tour books. The apartment was clean, well kept and as advertised.
The host canceled my reservation 8 days before arrival, which for a family with three kids is a catastrophe. Totally irresponsible and inconsiderate host. She didn't respond to our mails prior to us contacting airbnb help line 10 days prior to our stay in N.Y. City and then never excused herself. Airbnb, however, was great and helped. We did find a place in the end which turned out to be the better choice by far!
Although we were unable to meet Stephanie as she was away on business, her husband was very accomodating and helpful. The room and amenities were as described and we had a pleasant stay at their location. Thank you again! :)
Stéphanie et sa famille sont des gens adorables, très accueillants et toujours disponibles. L'appartement est exactement comme dans la description, joliment décoré et bien situé, à deux pas du métro. Stéphanie nous a donné plein de bons conseils durant notre séjour, et c'est sans hésiter que nous choisirons à nouveau de loger chez eux lors de notre prochain voyage à NY ! Merci pour tout...
Stephanie's 112th avenue apartment was a great place to launch our nyc adventure. It is very convenient to the subway ( you could not get any closer) and just an overall great experience. The apartment is in Harlem but it is a safe area. I highly recommend this property and would certainly stay there again.
The apartment is located in Harlem, conveniently one block from the 110th street [A, B, C] and Central Park North [2, 3] subway stations which take you to the more exciting neighborhoods such as Midtown and the Villages. As noted in the description, the apartment is located on the 4th floor and requires you to walk up very narrow flights of stairs. Hence, if you have lots of heavy luggage and/or are physically unable to walk up stairs, it may not be convenient. Note that the bathroom is... More »
Beautiful room with all the amenities (cable tv, nice bathroom, kitchen access and a/c) with the added benefit of little Mr Princeton for entertainment- don't miss out on his Michael Jackson impersonation/dancing. Priceless :D
We had a great stay in the La Maison d'Art suite. The room was as described and pictured. It was very spacious, tastefully decorated with interesting paintings on the walls. There was also A/C which was much needed as there was a heatwave during our stay. Stephanie was a great hostess. She was always prompt in email correspondence. I didn't get to meet her until I checked out but her assistant Josh was always around and gave good recommendations for sights and brunch.
Our stay at Stephanie´s was very nice. She was very nice to us and gave us advice on the city attractions, restaurants, markets and means of transportation. Thanks Stephanie! Cheers
Stephanie is a wonderful and friendly person.Me and my wife stayed in her house and she gave us all support !She made us feel like in our own house.It takes only 10 minutes to Times Square by subway and it is in front of Central Park.Stephanie's house is a great and comfortable place to stay in New York.Go and be hosted by Stephanie ,Princeton and little Princeton,a Beatiful and lovely family!
Beautiful, light & airy room; bed was amazing! Bathroom was great, good strong shower. We ate out but brought leftovers back, & everything was there to enjoy the leftovers. Good-sized closet, adequate drawer space for us.
We were there during a weather transition period, so the A/C was not on, but the windows provided good air & Stephanie gave us a floor fan to use, which was a big help.
Stephanie is a delightful person who genuinely wants her guests to be satisfied. She provides a list... More »
Stephanie and her family were very friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay here, plenty of privacy even though you are in someone's house, very clean and only about a 10-15 minute subway ride into times square.
Amazing host, I ended up becoming sick when arriving in NYC and Stephanie accommodated us for whatever we asked. Couldn't have asked for a better host. A+
Nice family, nice and clean apartment, good location. It takes only twenty minutes to Times Square. Stephanie is very friendly and very helpful. She knows a lot about the city and gives good insider tips. They provided us with maps of the area, the Metro and more. Also, towels, an adapter and an umbrella were present. We felt very welcome and can recommend a stay with Stephanie a lot.
We loved staying with Stephanie, the only down point was that we had to walk up to the 4th floor with our suitcases because there's no lift in the building.
Greetings Joke and Piet
Parfait ! Pour nos amis Français, et pour tous ceux qui comprendront ce message, qui hésitent encore de voyager vers cette ville mystérieuse de New-York, n’hésitez plus en tant que hôte de Stéphanie. Sa gentillesse, sa disponibilité, son attachante petite famille, tout cela en préservant votre intimité vous raviront. Stéphanie n’est point avare de bons conseils et la situation de son hébergement facilite grandement la découverte de la « ville qui ne dort jamais » : un bloc de Central Park... More »
My friend and i stayed with Stephanie for 4 days back in May. She was an excellent host and made us feel so welcome. The location was great and very close walking distance to the metro!! Would definitely stay there again if i went back to New York.
We had a great stay with Stephanie and her family : very welcome, good times shared together....The location is very well situated in a quiet neighborhood, close to public transport and Central park
A strongly advise !!

Very conveniently located just North of Central Park,out of the " hussle and bussle " and affordable, close to the subways,good for joggers and walkers in the park.Great hospitality, clean and neat. Coming from South Africa where there is little or no public transport, we found it so easy and accessible and we felt totally safe.Stephanie and her family made us feel so welcome and at home and we recommend this accommodation to those who are looking for a short or long stay.

Great accomodation in great location. The flat is clean and comfortable, Harlem is pictoresque and full of life, Central Park is next door.
Stephanie and her little family are warm and welcoming.

Nous sommes restés 5 nuits chez stephanie et sa petite famille. l'expérience était trés enrichissante et le logement était pratique, proche de toute commodité (2 stations de métro à proximité). Le quartier est trés sécurisant dans la partie rénové de harlem à deux pas de central park. Il y a de super resto dans le quartier.
Le rapport qualité/prix est très correct et Stéphanie à des bons tuyaux pour vous.
We, my son and me, had lovely days at the home of Stephanie, she and her husband where very helpfull and nice. we enjoyed of not beeing in a standard unpersonal hotel but in a private environment. Clean bathroom, room for two a bit small (it was a room with one big bed, but i asked for a additional bed), nice place. so near to he central park (jogging every morning). great area (near to appollo theater, subway etc) thanks Stephanie and family!
We had a wonderful time staying at Stephanie's and her family. To room was clean and provided anything we needed for our stay. We had our own shared bathroom and could also use the kitchen supplies.
Stephanie and her family were very open to our questions and offered suggestions on things to see in New York.
The area was perfectly located near two subway stations and close to the Harlem nightlife as well as Central Park. We can only recommend Stephanie's for any New York visitor.
Even thought I got the trouble in staying at Stephanie’s suite, I am so lucky to meet her. She put a lot of effort to let me understand the situation and help me to move to her friend’s apartment. I have been staying in Brooklyn. Everything is okay. She is an honest and trustful host.
Stephanie's apartment was a great place to NYC for our visit. It's very clean, comfortable and a short walk to Central Park. We highly recommend it for anyone who wants an uptown location! Stephanie was very helpful and easy to reach. We hope to have her as a host again!
Ron & Annika
Vast apartement, closed to many subway lines (Manhattan and even Brooklyn are easy to reach!). Definitely a nice location to discover NY city. We also highly appreciated the surroundings (Harlem, central Park, Columbia Uni) - thanks to Stephanie's advice (in French, please, so eaaasy for us!). We'll come back at Central Park North Apt. Thank you Stephanie.
It was very nice staying at Stephanie's place with her and her family. The room is confortable and the shared spaces as the kitchen and the bathroom were clean.
The communication was excellent, very close to Central Park, the subway and buses. A perfect location to visit the museums: Guggenheim and MET are very close with the M4, M2 and M3 buses that take you through the 5th avenue, it’s a beautiful ride.
Thanks!
I had an extremely comfortable stay in "chez chic guest room #1." Stephanie and her family are very nice and hospitable folks. It was nice to feel at "home" while in NYC.
Best host I ever had - Stefanie and her family are very kind, helpful and accommodating - you will feel at home here immediately. The place is very nice, clean and you can't beat the access to both the B and C as well as the 2 and 3 subway lines, both each 1.5 blocks away! Will definitely come back!
It was a great week at Central Park North apartment.
A friendly welcome, good advice to explore Harlem and Manhattan, Central Park to run ... an ideal apartment. Acces to Newark airport is fast and easy.
We thank our host.
Come put your bags!!

It was the firts time we used airbnb and we are very happy of this experience. Stephanie really made us feel welcome from the first second.The house is clean, warm, very quiet and the bed is extremely comfortable. Stephanie is a very helpful and informative host. As this was our first trip to NYC we were not sure which neighborhoods would be safe to stay in. Stephanie's home is in a quiet building and my boyfriend and I both felt very safe. We highly recommend staying in Stephanie's home.... More »
We had a great time at Stephanies apartment - everything was perfect. The apartment is very well located. The subway is just around the corner and you can get fast to the Times Square. Stephanie and her family are very friendly and helpful. We recommend you this place for a stay in NY.
Myself and three friends stayed in 112th West appartment in December 2010. Very nice place in a very convenient place. Close to the subway, close to Central Park.
The place was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We had a great time.
I highly recommend.
Thanks Stephanie!!
Our trip was really amazing and wonderful. And it's also thanks to Stephanie who gave us a warm welcome : she gave us good adresses in NYC and she stayed available at all moments. It was nice she speaks several languages which was very helpful for us in our first exchanges.
As regards the apartment, we can say that was very clean, spacious and functional. The borough was very calm and the subway was nearby.

Stephanie and her family are friendly. They respected my privacy and the room was as I expected. The location of the apartment is very good for public transportation and the apartment is clean. I had a calm and pleasant stay there.
We would highly recommend staying in Stephanies place. It was a beautiful, well kept building with a superb room and bathroom. extremely clean and the bed was sooooooooo comfortable. Stephanie was really welcoming and gave us a very useful guide of where to eat, drink etc close by which proved invaluable. The house is in Harlem with may be intimidating to some people, but we embraced it as experience and never saw any problems with people. I would definately stay in one of Stephanies... More »
We stayed at the 111th Street apartment with Stephanie and her family. As an alternative to staying in an "Overpriced" New York tourist hotel, I'd recommend it to anyone. I'd stayed in NY a few times before and while this was the furthest Uptown I'd stayed, the access to transport is so easy (Ensure you buy an unlimited travel card) so no matter where we wanted to go it didn't take too long. If it's your first time in NY, Stephanie is able to advise on places to go and see.
Stephanie was lovely and welcoming and the Maison D'art Victorian is beautifully decorated. The room we stayed in was quite small but well equipped (tea and coffee provided) and we had a great time in the area.
excellente location, bon rapport qualité prix mais n'oubliez pas que ce n'est qu'une location entre particuliers avec les risques que cela comporte. Comme d'autres clients avant nous (voir avis) nous avons eu la désagréable surprise de ne pas avoir la chambre retenue et l'ultime arrangement convenu ne s'est pas réalisé.
Stephanie is a wonderful hostess with an amazing sense of style. The space was comfortable with everything we needed. It was a great help to have a list of nearby resturants and entertainment venues with a note of what they offered.
The house was beautiful and the rental a great value. I will be sure to stay again.

We loved our stay in the Central Park North Apartment. Very close to the subway and Central Park (lovely for a run in the morning). Stephanie was helpful and a lovely host!
Stayed in the La Maison Suite. Quiet, spacious, well equipped and maintained, and stylishly decorated room - with great bathroom. Relatively conveniently located: a 5-10 minute walk to the subway and then 10 minutes to midtown. Stephanie was efficient, friendly, and helpful. A couple of drawbacks: the bed wasn't the most comfortable and if there are noisy guests in the apartment above (which happened during my stay) the wooden landings, stairs and floors can make quite a racket. All in all a... More »
Stephanie was a very genuine lady who did her best to help as much as she could. She is a very busy person so it was sometimes a bit difficult to touch base with her.
Her maison d'art appartment was very quiet, private and well appointed with a classy private bathroom.It is well located to the subway and a variety of good eateries.
She recommended the nearby jazz place and I was very glad she told me because I thought it was a terrific New york experience.
We spent a very pleasant stay at Stephanie's apartment. Everything was just perfect: the room, the bathroom and her welcoming family! The location of the apartment is also a strength (5-min walk from the subway - main lines and from Central Park). My sister and myself recommend you this place for your future stay in NY, you won't regret it ! =) Thanks again to Stephanie !!!
We truly enjoyed our stay at Stephanie's property. The building was easy to find and for the most part the neighborhood felt safe. Stephanie was really flexible with our check-in and check-out, and the people who were staying in the other rooms were very friendly and helpful. The room was beautifully decorated, clean, and came with its own bathroom with towels, air conditioning, mini fridge, microwave, internet etc. We didn't need all those amenities for our brief one night stay, but it...

The apartment was just as described. A perfect spot, close to the subway and Central Park. Stephanie was very accomadating and everything went well. I would recommend Stephanie and the apartment.
Great weekend at Stephanie's place, she's amazing and was very helpful! I will be going there again, and would definitely recommend anyone visiting NYC to stay at her place!
The apartment at Maison d'Art was perfect for us and very well stocked with essentials - eg every kitchen utensil you need should you want to cook (we didn't!) We loved the paintings. The A/C was a lifesaver during the hottest days NY has known for many years. Stephanie provided a long list of useful restaurants, shops etc. in the area and information re transport. The apartment was quiet, even on Saturday night and the neighborhood was fine. The M10 bus - which stops at the end of the street... More »
stephanie is a great host who gave us a warm welcoming. she provided us with maps of around Harlem and of nyc to help guide us with transportation and with finding nice places to eat and etc. The rooms we stayed in were very chic, comfortable and clean.

We had a very nice time in Stephanie 's appartement.
Stephanie lives in a nice and cosy appartment.

We really enjoyed our stay with Stephanie and her family. Nice room in a quiet neighbourhood in Harlem. Located only one block from Central Park and Subway station.
Stephanie and her family was very friendly and helpful.

Stephanie, Abdoulaye y el pequeño Princeton conforman una familia muy linda, multilingüe. Nos dieron consejos y recomendaciones apenas llegamos y nos trataron muy bien.
El barrio es muy recomendable, cerca de varias líneas de subte y de buses.
Stephanie's Wohnung ist verkehrsgünstig gelegen und gemütlich. Der Central Park befindet sich grad um die Ecke. Wir hatten als Familie zu fünft genügend Raum. Stephanie ist eine sympathische zuverlässige Vermieterin. Wir können die Wohnung empfehlen!
I recently stayed in La Maison D'art apt 2 with 3 friends. Stephanie was a wonderful hostess. She was very gracious in accomodating our needs and preferences by providing an extra bed!

Everything went more than smoothly. Stephanie was wonderful and made us feel welcome. I would recommend the Apt. Central Park North to my closest friends!
Stephanie and her family are warm and welcoming, offering assistance and advice without being at all intrusive. The place is clean, in a dynamic neighborhood and close to central park and transport. People who have difficulties with stairs might wish to avoid this place as there are five floors to be negotiated to reach the front door.
A friend and I stayed in the Central Park North apartment, which is a HUGE one bedroom with two beds in the living room and a queen bed in the bedroom. It is so clean and in an amazing community in Harlem, only two blocks from the park and a two minute walk from the subway.
When we arrived, Stephanie shared with us all of the great areas to see and nice restaurants/stores in the area. She provides subway and bus maps and gave us directions to a friends' house in Midtown. When it came time... More »
We stayed at W 132nd st NY and Stephanie is a wonderful host. We enjoyed the apartment very much and not least the wonderful friendship of Stephanie. Highly recommended to live NY as a New Yorker and experience the Harlem Renaissance (design+music+food). Very close to the subway system and safe. Well done Stephanie.
The apartment was perfect for us--clean, pleasant, decent-sized (for NYC!), close to the subway and Central Park, with TV, wifi, cooking utensils, everything you could need. As described and photographed. Stephanie was a very gracious, welcoming and helpful host, and always available if you needed anything (as we did when we locked ourselves out--beware that the door to the apartment closes very quickly behind you if you step out into the hallway for a moment!). Overall, a great experience.
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Chez Chic and it was absolutely fantastic! Stephanie is a very welcoming, open, and accommodating host. The neighborhood is lovely and picturesque. Stephanie has a sophisticated taste for interior design and art. (She also has the cutest kids!)

Our experience at the apartment on 112th street was very mixed, the apartment itself is clean and functional. The location is super convenient to the subway to get anywhere in Manhattan. We loved walking through the North of Central Park, the lake, the conservatory and the flowers are all stunning.
The noise of the neighbors and the loud music blasting at completely random times was disturbing to our sleep. I would recommend earplugs and i-pods if you are at

really enjoyed one of stephanie's apt. her husband helped us out and he was really informative. even though we arrived real late on a thursday, they were able to accommodate us. thanks!
Nice, clean and comfortable (thin-walled) room. Friendly host. Great place to discover and enjoy Harlem. Nearby metro station, it takes ±30 min to get to the centre of Manhattan. Thanks a lot!
We loved our stay in NYC and that's partly due to Stephanie's and Sophie's help and kindness! The apartment was as promised, perfect for our needs. And they were helpful, available and always had a smile for us.
Hope we'll meet back in the city that never sleeps, or somewhere else!
¡Gracias y hasta pronto! / Merci et à bientôt! / Danke & bis bald!
We really enjoyed our stay in Stephanie's place. Everything was perfect!! The appartment is clean, sweet, and equiped of everything we needed. Sophie was very nice!! She cared about us and really wanted to be sure that we were fine. I definitely recommend Stephanie's places!!!
What a wonderful apartment and room! We stayed for two nights at the Chez Chic and it was lovely! Stephanie and her family were away on a trip so we had the whole apartment to ourselves -- which was incredible! Her wonderful friend Sophie helped us get all set up and keys and gave us a warm welcome. We will totally stay here again next time we are in the Big Apple and hopefully we'll get to meet Stephanie and her lovely family.
The experience was very good. The apartment was very clean, and fully outfitted with dishware, towels, etc. Sophie, Stephanie's friend, could not have been nicer, and worked very hard to make sure everything was right, including rushing over with the blowup bed. The whole transaction was very good. Parking was available on the street saving us a lot of money and two subway lines were within easy walking distance as well as restaurants and stores. We enjoyed the stay very much.
Beautiful room...and the whirlpool tub was a great way to end the day after walking about the city... Sophie was a sweet host while Stephanie was on Holiday... Will definitely book another stay when back in The City...thankyou for a lovely stay!!!!
Stephanie was such a wonderful host! We were familiar with the NYC area but she went out of her way to make sure we knew how to get around her area in particular and had tons of suggestions for things to do and places to go. Everyone there was wonderful and she made us feel right at home. We had a great time and would consider her again when visiting New York City.
Wow..It was one of my best trip ever. My husband and I had an amazing time in Stephanie's Place. We stayed 3 days at her place. It was a super clean apartment and we had whatever we need in the apartment, like TV,Telephone,Internet,the clean towels and well equipped kitchen. I would definitely recommend the place and the Stephanie as a host. She is so nice and very helpful. Stephanie gave us a map of NYC and great tips on where to go.
Thanks a lot dear Stephanie! You made our trip!
The place itself was beautiful. Lots of light. Very comfortable. There were 3 of us and we loved it. All the amenities were there, lots of extra pillows and blankets. We ran info a lot of problems with the internet not connecting but if you are not there for work thats not a big trade-off for the great space you get. There are 3 subways in walking distance but I would only recommend walking to the one on 135th st considering the fact that its the closest safest route. I would not recommend... More »
Stephanie was nothing but hospitable and amazing during my 2 week stay in La Maison d'Art Suite. The room is amazing and the bed is absolutely the best bed over. It was more than I ever could have imagined. Thanks again Stephanie you were amazing!
Thanks for your help! The place was lovely and much cheaper than a YMCA or other prison like setting place to stay. Very nice art, clean place, and a relaxing interior. The pizza was quite good too! See you next visit.
Everything went very smoothly and I loved staying in the Maison d'Art. Very quiet and easy to access. I would definitely book a place with Stephanie again.
Stephanie was a very courteous host. We enjoyed our stay at Central Park North, but the apartment we stayed in was not the same one as in the picture. It was very similar, but not the same. The wifi didn't work very well and the cable did not work at all. The area was a little sketchy, but this was also our first trip to NY so it took a little getting used to. Stephanie gave us lots of tips on restaurants, things to do, and getting around on the subway. The experience overall was a pretty... More »
Our stay at La Maison d'Art apt 2 was very good. The apartment is on a quiet street and near a main subway line. Neighborhood has a low shade factor. Apartment was clean quiet and just what was needed. I would stay again. Stephanie was very helpful as a guide to the neighborhood and very accomodating our our schedule.
Staying chez Stephanie at the artist apt was the greatest, even though we actually didn't get to meet her she seems incredibly laid back and welcoming, the apt is a charm and the area although it can appear a bit sketchy at first is full of very very live and welcoming people like the host. We had a blast and would return to the artist apt and any other place where Stephanie is the host in a heartbeat... Thanks for a great experience!
Me & my boyfriend spent 10 days/9 nights in the Artist House, Master Suite. There's nothing else to say but : it was fabulous ! The place is big (20m² for the bedroom !!), quiet, nice. The surroundings are really safe, subway stations 5 min walk till every Manhattan places & Brooklyn, and the bed is just... Soooooo comfortable !! I loved it !
Thanks a lot for this lovely room and this nice staying, it gave our trip a "PLUS" ! :)
We rented the Master Suite and it was just that. SWEET! Everything was immaculate. the room was exactly as pictured and stephanie was very attentive and provided us with everything we needed. The house was on a very quiet street full of working professionals. You'll love it. Much, Much Better than staying in a hotel.
What a great location and welcome from Stephanie and her family! We arrived late on Friday night and Stephanie was there to welcome us. She provided excellent local information and also directions to downtown, which proved vital on the day of the marathon. The room was excellent and the bed was very comfortable, was also great to come home to a warm house very night! Living with Stephanie and her family added to our New York experience and we would recommend it to anyone.
Thanks Stpehanie!
Stephanie is great, she gives a lot of useful tips to enjoy NYC and her place (the Master Suite for us) is absolutely lovely! We'll definitely come back to hers! Huge hugs from France!!!
I stayed in the Master Suite of the W 132nd St, New York, NY 10027 and enjoyed my stay immensely. Stephanie is easygoing and the accommodations were hassle-free. As a New York resident who did not want to make the trek back to my outer-borough apt after a concert, I found the location incredibly convenient and the the room and its amenities to be well worth it. Convenient to the 135th St. A-B-C and 1-2-3 subway lines, you can get to virtually any location in Manhattan with ease. Thanks... More »
I was pleasantly surprised to see a clean room, elegantly decorated in a quiet flat within walking distance from Central Park. Stephanie is very helpful and her house deserves the title Chez Chic.
Stephanie was the perfect host... welcoming and generous with her time. She clued me in to some terrific local cafes and restaurants offering delicious food at reasonable prices and venues for jazz as well. She even helped my son find the best and safest route to an event he had planned on attending with his college friends. Overall very professional and accommodating.
I booked to stay in Stephanie's apartment 1-2 months in advance, 3 days before leaving for NYC I sent a message to her to make sure everything was ok, this is the reply I got:
"Thanks for your message. I had to move your rental next door to my neighbor an friend Bert because of double booking issues. I am really sorry about that. . Bert and I work together and are both Airbnb hosts of two great places:) He has the exact same brownstone building as I have with very nice private apartment... More »
I literally just returned from a 6 day girl's get away to NYC, and the first thing I wanted to do was write this review. Both Stephanie and her Artist's Apt on W 132nd are fantastic. Though our room wasn't ready upon our arrival due to a late departure, Stephanie's orientation more than made up for it. She sat us down and provided maps, marked them with notable points in the neighborhood, and gave us a crash course in how to navigate the city. Had we not been visiting a native friend, I'm... More »
Before I arrived in NYC, I was a little worried about the apartment arrangements because I haven't heard from Stephanie until the day I went to the airport. But as soon as I arrived she was there to give us a warm welcome. During the stay she was always available and ready to offer help. The apartment really looks like on the pictures and I felt truly at home. It is nicely decorated, clean and cozy. I would definitely suggest friends to stay at Stephanie's apartments. I love the brownstone,... More »
We stayed recently at the Central Park North apartment, we highly recommend this apartment, Stephanie was a wonderful host a very genuine person. She took the time to explain things to us and was always available to answer any questions or concerns we might have had. I fell sick during my stay and Stephanie went above and beyond to assist me, she was fantastic. We were also fortunate to meet her beautiful children and lovely friend. And if that wasn't enough the apartment was great, close to... More »
Wonderful hostess, kind, willing to help and offer advice. We stayed at Chez Chic and enjoyed the premises and felt safe. Great value as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone. The site is close to the subway and you can move about the city very easily.
Dave and Denise
This was our first Airbnb experience staying at someone's place. It was better than we expected! The apartment was exactly how it was described along with other's reviews. We briefly met Stephanie who was very friendly and offered to help us with anything we needed. If we come back to NYC we will definitely would like to stay at one of Stephanie's places.
My friend and I stayed at the Chez Chic for ten days. Stephanie was a great host and has such a cute family! She was very easygoing and gave us nice advices going out in harlem so that we loved this place! Her apartment was nice, so that we really enjoyed our sojourn time and would come back any time. tahnks!
Sheer thoughtfulness was so appreciated. The unit at Central Park Nth was well appointed and so close to everything, tho the neighbours in the building were very noisy - there was a couple who argued long and loud at night time. Felt very safe apart from this.
Stephanie was a wonderful host. We stayed for a week and if you are okay with staying in Harlem, the Master Suite is just about perfect. Everything is as described. After a busy day in the city, we usually couldn't wait to get back to our room.
Stephanie was wonderful host and my experience with her was more than I expected. I stayed at the chic apartment which it's a very nice place, quiet and clean. On my next visit to NYC I'll stay with her again.I recommend her highly!
Stephanie was a wonderful host. We spent 4 nights at "Artist's apt" and i can't tell how great it was. Stephanie was very helpful and gave us lots of advices to really enjoy our stay in New York. The place was clean, well equipped and not far from the subway. We definitely recommend her to anyone.
It was a great week at "chez chic". Stephanie and her family were really friendly and she gave us some advices to visit the town. The room was comfortable and the flat was really well situated (5 minutes from subway). We would recommend this place to anyone!
Our experience at Stephanie's Central Park North apartment was amazing! Super clean and comfortable, well-equipped kitchen, great location with grocery stores and restaurants nearby; it had everything we needed! It was our first time using airbnb and we couldn't be happier to have chosen Stephanie as a host. She is such a nice woman. She's always helpful and knows her way around. We would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Stephanie was extremely helpful, and very welcoming. This was the first time we had utilised Air BnB, Stephanie ensured our first impression was of a top standard.
Location isn't too bad, apartment was clean and tidy and handy enough to subway stations for Midtown. Overall the apartment was good value for money!!
I'm so glad I crossed paths with the airbnb website on Time magazine this summer. Very useful for my family's trip this past week to NY. What a perfect place was Stephanie's Chic Apt! Very clean and had everything we needed. Since we were using the subway to move around it did not matter the we were a bit more uptown than I had intended because subway stops were very close to our apartment. Stephanie was very helpful in suggesting breakfast places. Can't wait to travel to NY again. I hope one... More »
Stephanie's Central Park Northview apartment definitely rates 5 stars for its size, convenient location, modern tasteful furnishings and the help Stephanie provides NY visitors. This 73 year old Brooklyn-born grandmother and her 13 year old granddaughter from Luxembourg had a great stay. Central Park with its big pond is right around the corner as are subway and bus stops everywhere. The neighborhood is safe, has good restaurants that deliver and the first floor apartment is blissfully... More »
stephanie is great! we were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay at the 'central park north apt'. having a/c was an absolute life saver because the weekend was a scorcher. stephanie was very helpful and getting to downtown/midtown was really a breeze....10 min on the express to times square. fabulous! we had a blast and definitely recommend her!!!! enjoy your stay in new york....
Our experience at Victorian room was just what could be expected from the information given on line.
Fine accomodation & superior welcome. We certainly recommend it.
Please, read the previous as an understatement.
When I first arrived at Stephanie's, she was very welcoming! I had no problem finding my way from the subway at Central Park North and I never felt unsafe walking from the subway to the apartment (a 5 min walk)When I got to the apartment complex at 7th ave (Chez Chic)there was no elevator but there was a really friendly neighbor that helped me carry my luggage up the stairs. I met Stephanie's very nice husband and her two beautiful children and they were never a bother! And she even let me... More »
Mon long séjour avec airBnB chez Stéphanie a été extraordinaire. Son accueil chaleureux, ses conseils précieux, sa serviabilité constante et sa parfaite connaissance du quartier et de la ville font de Stéphanie une hôtesse d'accueil taillée sur mesure pour tout francophone désireux de passer ses vacances à New York.
Quant à la chambre, c'est peu dire que la "Master Suite" porte bien son nom. Très spacieuse, décorée et aménagée avec goût, dotée d'un frigo, d'un micro-ondes, d'une machine à... More »
We stayed at the Central Park North location and had a great time. Stephanie was very friendly, she showed and described a map she gave us of NYC and gave great tips on where to go. We would consider Stephanie as a host without a doubt on another trip to NYC, and reccommend her to anyone!
Stayed two weeks at Central Park North apt in the budget room. The apartment is really near Subway and buses. Central Park is 1 minute far!. STepahnie is very nice ans just want help you want you need. Very good price for New York and beautiful apartment. Highly recommended.See you for my next time in NYC!
The room (Victorian room)is really incredible! And Stephanie is a lovely hostees who gives you a lot of advices and famous places to go!!! Near to home, we had gospel, jazz, and a lot of stores, ... it was wonderfull! You can choose this place without hesitation!

Stephanie is an amazing hostess! she stayed up until 3 a.m. to buzz us into the apartment on our first night, as our flight didn't arrive until 1 a.m.
we had a wonderful stay at Central Park North- the place was spotless and the air-conditioner was a life saver! the kitchen has everything you need from the coffee pot to extra virgin olive oil.
Stephanie is a GREAT host! Beautiful apartments, conveniently located, completely furnished and spotless, and she was always helpful.
Definitely the place to stay in NYC!
Stephanie was as resourceful and helpful as her website suggested. Her artist's suite was large and quieter than expected. The neighborhood around is friendly and welcoming. Two small issues -- first, the level of cleanliness was not very high. I had to clean some of the shelves in the bathroom and the floor in the living room so we could use it. Secondly, Stephanie overcharged us for the crib: initially, she agreed to rent it out to us for 30 dollars for the entire stay, but instead she... More »
My trip to New York started off really badly I had gone with another host from another site (don't think I can mention the name so won't)in the first instance only to get to the 'apartment' to find it did not exist...Homeless in New York (I live in London). I managed to find a hotel to stay the night ($200! I was in the Times Square area) and got on my laptop searching for a new place. Luckily for me Stephanie was up (about 2am) and responded straight away.
It was so good to connect a... More »
Stephanie's B&B is absolutely 5-star. She has amazingly and artistically decorated places that are spotless and comfortable. Stephanie was so accommodating and kind; she had tons of great recommendations for us and was nice enough to upgrade us to the master suite due to other circumstances for free. She went above and beyond in everything! Her spaces are fantastic, clean, beautiful and comfortable. It was a lovely experience all around. We will definitely be coming back to stay with Stephanie.
Stéphanie was a wonderful host. She helped us getting started on our arrival in NYC: What's around the neighborhood, tips on where to go and restaurants in the area.
The room was top notch: confortable bed, beautiful house decorated with style and a nice backyard garden to relax. We loved it there!
Stephanie's house is beautiful!We stayed in the Victorian room for 3 nights and loved it. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom is nice and big and there's a garden where you can have your breakfast if the weather's nice (there are lots of food stores around where you can get bagels and stuff, and Stephanie kindly provides tea and coffee). Stephanie is a lovely person, happy to answer questions and give her guests tips about where to go and what to do. Will definitely be back!
my husband and i had such a great time staying with stephanie! we stayed at chez chic for 3 nights and felt right at home the minute we walked in. the room is a perfect size, plenty of room for the two of us and a good sized closet for our suitcases, everything was immaculate, clean towels and linens, and the location is great. not only is stephanie a great hostess, she is also a great resource for things to do in the city which made our stay even better. i would recommend stephanie to...

Stephanie's apt was great. Very convenient to anywhere in NYC you would want to go. Subway stop a block away. I would highly recommend staying there if you get a chance.
I was pleasantly surprised with my whole stay at Stepahnie's place. She is the most warm hearted and interesting person and her family is the same.
The whole place is clean aand as described in the ad. I'd go there again any time and thank Stph again for the wonderful stay.
Thanx
Déjà excellent ce magnifique b&b est en constance amélioration! Stéphanie passe son temps à vouloir faire mieux et à rendre votre séjour agréable. Le fait qu'elle soit francophone est un plus pour nous (pour les conseils entre autres).
Que dire de la chambre (Mester suite)parfaitement décorée avec gout! Le lit est un nuage et la salle de bain (jacuzi, injection d'air chaud venant du plafond, et VMC silencieuse!) et parfaite! On oublie la tv tcd avec cable, petit frigo avec quelques boissons... More »
Stephanie was THE BEST host ever! It seemed like everything we needed she had ready. Not only was the place wonderful, clean, and felt like home, but we adopted Stephanie as our "big sister". She has the warmest personality, the greatest smile. We already know who to call when we go back to visit NYC!
Stephanie is wonderful and the Master Suite is beautiful! The pictures truly captures the room but there is so much more offered at the Maisondart. If your planning a stay make sure to check out some of the local areas that Stephanie suggests. I truly felt like a local for my week in NYC.
Nous venons de rentrer de New York , où nous étions logés chez Stéphanie . C'était vraiment formidable : la localisation est parfaite : métro tout proche ,quartier très calme , beaucoup de petits restaurants tout autour ,sans compter les églises ....(magnifique messe de Pâques avec gospels juste à côté de notre logement ).
L'accueil est très agréable , et j'ai eu tout de suite l'impression avec Stephanie d'être reçue par "la cousine d'Amérique ", qui fait tout ce qu'elle peut pour rendre... More »
Stephanie is a really great host, she deserves the best rating !
The place is nice and clean, very well furnished with a lot of amenities, very well connected (step away from the subway).
I'll suggest Stephanie's place to all my friends visiting NY and hope to came back soon.
You can't ask more to enjoy your stay in NYC.
Stephanie's offered all the most important things: a warm welcome into a comfortable home; a comfortable bed in a quiet room; fresh & clean towels & blankets; and easy access to Manhattan. Finding myself travelling to NYC in the future I feel I already have a open invitation to make home away from home through Stephanie's generousity.
I just got back from a trip to NYC during which I stayed at Stephanie's appartment. The bedroom and private bathroom that comes with it were both kept very clean and are spacious so that I could unpack my stuff and put my clothes away in the closet. I didn't have to live out of my rucksack for ten days which made me already feel comfortable.
The appartment is situated right at the north end of Central Park in Harlem and very close to different subway stations. I could either start my day... More »
Such a wonderful place and very close to the metro station on the line 1 2 3. She was awesome with us, it was a pleasure to stay in her appt. she's french, so last word ...
Merci encore stephanie pour ton hospitalité. On a passé un super séjour avec toi. Très disponible pour nous avec pleins de conseils, je vous recommande particulierement cette adresse qui plus est pour un prix raisonnable. Le metro est juste a 1 bloc de l'appartement et la ligne 1-2-3 est la plus centrale et la plus... More »
It was such a marvelous stay! Stephanie is a great host, and she provides private rooms that are beautiful, quiet, clean and fully-equiped (coffee machine, plasma screen, museum entries, jacuzzi bath). For this price, this is really an excellent opportunity for a pleasant trip in NYC.

Stephanie was a wonderful host! Her apartment was beautiful and extremely clean. We had a very nice (and affordable!) stay in the city with private room and own bathroom.
Stephanie is fantastic! When she has overflow, she contacts me. If I have room, I'm happy to host her guests. She's always available, a great communicator, and she's always willing to go the extra mile for her guests. I highly recommend staying with Stephanie when you're in NYC!
Being new to the B&B business, one thing I didn't really expect to be doing was to be helping out stranded travelers. I expected to be hosting people on vacation. But this past week showed me that helping people in need of a place to stay is part of it all. Stephanie put out a message looking for hosts for the overload of people stuck here because of the volcanic cloud. My place was vacant so she sent over some guests. Her professionalism and friendliness gave me a quick lesson in... More »
Stephanie est "THE" host !!!!! Nous avons séjourné une semaine dans la magnifique suite, tout y est parfait !!! Un véritable petit nid où l'on se sent comme chez soi, mais en mieux !!!
Un excellent rapport qualité prix bien sûre, mais surtout Stephanie illumine votre séjour avec son sourire, sa disponibilité et ses bons conseils...
De plus Harlem est
Stephanie is one of the best and most sophisticated hosts on our site. Each apartment is individually designed and furnished, very clean, and of course, very Chic! She is a wonderful hosts and a very reasonable and flexible person. I am so happy to have Stephanie as a host on our site. I highly recommend staying with her in one of her pristine apartments.
Stephanie's rooms are spotless and beautifully hip. A true downtown vibe; uptown and conveniently located. Great price, and the host couldn't be more amenable. I highly recommend a stay.
