Great place. Meadow managed to let us stay at her place on the marathon weekend when we arrived very late and left very early. Squeaky clean and well taken care of.
November 2011Great place to come back to at the end of the day. Conveniently located and close to the subway. Meadow was a great host and made me feel very much welcomed. Clean and comfortable place. You can't go wrong!!
Had a great time in nyc ! meadow was very welcoming and friendly. The place is very close to 116th station on line 6 so that's perfect to go downtown quickly. The room is spacious. Worth going!
Meadow's apartment was amazing! The room was so comfortable and she was a fantastic host. Meadow was very easy to talk to and I felt very relaxed in her home. Her apartment was super close to some great little cafes and the subway station, so I never had any problems with getting around the city. Meadow, thankyou so much for your hospitality. It was fantastic to meet you, and next time I'm in NYC I will be in touch! :)

My host Meadow was an instant delight. Immeadiatly created a nice relaxed atmosphere. House rules are very clear and make absolute sence. Having... More »
Meadow gave great recommendations on places to eat, places to see and help with general tips in New York. I also found her very respectful of my space. The room is spacious with two desks, a comfortable double bed and air con. I especially liked the large chair you can sit and relax in if you want to watch some TV or read a book. The location is also very convenient to the subway and also the crosstown bus so don't fret about getting around. I highly recommend Meadow to stay with and... More »
Meadow's place is absolutely adorable and in a great location! The pictures are an exact match and the place is extremely clean and tidy. She offers a lot of helpful information in the form of menus and maps and she is willing to answer any and all questions you may have. This was my first airbnb experience and I don't think it could have been any better. Thanks, Meadow! I'll look you up next time I'm in the city :)
The host canceled my reservation 6 days before arrival.
Staying with Meadow was great. The room was very clean and so was the bathroom. She was understanding of us first-time airbnb users! The best thing was how close her place was to the subway! We would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend this place to someone else! Thanks again Meadow.
My wife and I stayed with Meadow in May for 13 days. Meadow is a perfect host, very helpful to us - first time NY visitors and airbnb users. The apartment is very cosy, clean and spacious with all you need for the fine stay. We loved the location with Harlem magic. We would come back again and recommend the place. Thanks, Meadow!
Meadow was very accommodating to my last minute plans. She had guests before and after me, but she had the room ready right away. The apartment is two blocks from the subway. If you've never been to New York, this is essential. The room is very cute and fully loaded. Ha! There is a bed, a tv, closet space, towels and even a basket of random toiletries. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.
It was cool at Meadows place. A comfortable, clean and nicly decorated room. Its in Spanish Harlem, very close to the Metro station, which brings you in 15mins to downtown Manhattan. Meadow gave many tipps, help whenever help were needed. All in all - very nice stay. All time again!
very nice place, very nice host everything was good except new works across the street. Definitely recommend this place to anyone
The place is clean and tidy and Meadow is friendly and makes you feel confortable. It was a very pleasant experience.
My boyfriend and I stayed with Meadow last week for 8 days, I cannot say enough good things about the trip! Meadows apartment is AWESOME, it's in a great location, close to so many great little spots and super convenient, close to the subway as well. The decor in the place is sweet, Meadow is a cool chick. We had a lot of fun and couldn't have asked for a better host for our stay. We definitely want to stay again if and when we return to the city! THANK YOU MEADOW YOU ROCK!
Super clean, private, and nicely decorated too! Cool art! Way more touches than a hotel! For instance: an iron, travel size items, maps and so on. Good location close to the Metro North and subways! Secure building. Meadow was gracious, communicated all info. well, and was also really nice to talk too! Thanks Meadow!
Meadow was a great host she was -knowledgeable of the area -quiet Her apartment was: -clean -accessible (2 blocks from the subway) -comfy *Thanks again Meadow for the great hospitality, make sure she shows you Patsy's Italian restaurant, they have great fire-oven pizza! Cheese slices are only $1.75!
Meadow's hospitality is great. Meadow is very nice and easy going person. I highly recommend Meadows services to anyone, you'll surely have a good and homelike time in Meadow's apartment.
to stay with meadow is really nice and uncomplicated. the room is quiet and the appartement close to the subway. i felt very well there.
A very enjoyable stay. Meadow is a good host, the apartment is very pleasant with good kitchen facilities. We found the subway close by very convenient for getting to the city in 10-15 mins. We even managed to avoid the snow in NY each side of our stay!
very welcoming person, quiet and lovely, about the place it's clean and very nice room and the sun come in, very nice location, close to the subway and take you to anywhere you want to go! I enjoyed my staying there and will comeback to ask for the room again for sure:). Thank You Airbnb and Thank's to Meadow for Hosting me. Fahad.
Meadow, Thank you for your hospitality during our NYC visit. It was a delight to meet you and your apartment provided us with a nice cozy place to come back to each evening. Thanks for helping us get situated and for recommending some great places to eat in the neighborhood. You help make El Barrio a welcoming place. Bests, Markos and Heather
Meadow is a terrific hostess. The room very large with bed, chair, and desk. The bed was OK, but not great, and that's the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Convenient transportation, nice walk to the park and museums. I would stay with Meadow again.
Meadow's NYComfort is an excellent place to stay for a visit to New York. The room and apartment is comfortable and neat, with good facilities and appliances. The neighbourhood is interesting, with some tasty restaurants in the area. Useful transportation connections are close by. Meadow herself is a warm personality and a fine host.
Meadow is a very sweet host and makes you feel real welcome. The apartment is nice and clean and the room has basically everything you need in it. Having my own set of keys was the icing on the cake that made me able to enjoy the city to the fullest at all times. The location is great and it doesnt take long to get anywhere, by subway or cab. I would definetly stay at her place again and will recommend it to anyone. Feels like I made a new friend :)
I can highly recommend this place. Meadow is a really great and helpful host. When we looked for places to go she helped us searching it on the Internet and gave us some Insider tips. Her apartment is also very clean and you will be fine in the neighborhood as long as you some common sense. The subway station is only one and a half block away which is very convenient. My Mom and me had a great time in NY! Thanks Meadow!!:)
Meadow is the perfect host. There when you need her, unobtrusive when you don't. Meadow had provided everything I needed in my room. Even a really good book or three. I was comfortable, slept well, felt secure, and enjoyed my stay. The subway is nearby, and convenient. IanY
I would stay with Meadow again in a heartbeat. She was such a lovely host and thought of everything we could possibly need. Her place is super cute, clean, and organized. Getting into the city was quick and easy with the subway just a block and a half away. Thanks Meadow!
Meadow is a very accommodating host and her place is really cute and comfy. The subway is only two blks from her place and it takes you directly downtown (or uptown!). It also stops in Grand Central Station and you can connect to virtually any train from there. So very, very convenient. The general area that Meadow lives in is cool to walk around as well, you find some neat little stores where you'd least expect them. I loved exploring!
Meadow is a great host, she thought of everything. You have plugs, xtra shampoo's, and all the maps you need for a well organised visit to the city. The 6 line was 2 minutes from her appartment. The commute was easy. The neighbourhood wonderfull with a breakfast place that makes a fabulous expresso!! The room was very comfortable and clean and Emma and I slept like baby's...A great stay in a great city !!! Thanks Meadow
I had a really positive experience with Meadow. She was so prompt and friendly in her email communications -- and was a wonderful hostess. The room is just as pictured -- bed, as she says, very comfortable for a pull-out -- everything clean and cheerful. The location (very near East Side subway) is ideal and Meadow suggested excellent cheap places for me to eat in the neighborhood.
We really enjoyed our stay in Meadow's Harlem nest. Ms M is a great host and we felt very comfortable. This area was new for us so discovering more of New York was a treat. Meadow has great eating out suggestions too!
Nice and clean apartment. Easy to find and nice surrendings. Close to the subway and to supermarket. Meadow is a warm and generous host and it´s easy to get along with her. If or when we come back to New York we´ll contact Meadow again for accondation.
Meadow is a really nice person,The accomodation was really nice and it was great to come and go as you please.Also public transport was right on your door step and a quick 10mins to time square.So i would recommend meadow's place to future air b&b travellers
This was my first time using airbnb and Meadows place is a great find. The room is beautiful and well kept along with the rest of the apartment. Meadow is a wonderful hostess, very helpful and kind. The apartment is close to the subway though I walked most of the time. I wouldn't hesitate to stay with Meadow again.
Staying at Meadow's was great! She is very clean and kind! Her place gives you peace...is really nice being there. And she is only one block and a half from the METRO, so you are close to everything ! I totally recomend to stay there, you'll see why ! Thanks MEADOW !!
I stayed with Meadow for two nights and her apartment is really nice, clean, the room is very spacious and she's a great host very welcoming. Also, the location is really good with the line 6 you can get everywhere and it only takes 45min from there to get to JFK with the 6 and then the express E train. I will definitely recommend to everyone to stay with her. Thank you :)
Great room, great host! Very smooth stay!
Meadow was a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome from the start. Her apartment is lovely and she's set up the rented room really well. This area of (Spanish) Harlem is quite interesting - we especially recommend the vegetarian burritos at the 24hr Mexican restaurant on the corner :) We enjoyed walking around the area and over to Central Park. Access to the subway and the rest of the city is excellent. We really enjoyed our stay, and a big part of that was having such a good home... More »
Meadow was a really nice hostess. Same applies to her appartment. Great and spacious room and it takes no time to get to the subway station. In a few words: if you are looking for a place to stay in Manhattan, here you have it
Staying with Meadow was an extremely good experience in all sorts of ways. She's a calm and accommodating host, very welcoming and easy to be around. Can't recommend staying at her place more highly -- very enjoyable staying in the area too, lively at all times of day or night. The room is great, spacious and comfortable, looking out on trees -- extremely close to the tube, sorry, the subway! As I said, a really, really good experience, thanks Meadow!
It was also for us our first experience with airbnb and as our forerunner we can say that we like New York and we like meadow and her place very much. The room has everything that you need after a long New York tour. Meadow is a very helpful, nice, funny and - if you want - communicative person. Independent on what questions you have, she can help you and give u insider tips. From the subway which is only some steps away u can reach any place u want in NY. It's a pity that she is already...

This was our first time using AirBnB, we were so lucky to chose Meadow's apt. The apt is very clean and the room is very comfortable and as beautiful as it looks in the pictures :), also very close to the subway. Meadow is very accomodating, funny, lovely and helpful.... thank you very much again. Highly recommended! PS the doorman is the funniest ever, he is also meadow's friend, he is available to help you with everything... a big thank to him tooo
It is the first I use airbnb and I am so lucky to meet Meadow. She is so friendly, warm, and generous that I feel like getting along with family. Her place is also excellent, just like coming back to home that I can really relax after a tired New York City day tour. Meadow and her place make me deeply like New York not only because of Empire state building, Brooklyn bridge, or other well known spots but also because of this lovely New Yorker and her sweet place. Next time when I go to New... More »
Our stay at in NYC was a lovely experience thanks to Meadow. The room was quite spacious and, like the rest of the house, was clean and nicely decorated. To top it off it was right near the subway station. Meadow was also lovely enough to let us disturb her in the morning to store our luggage and was very hospitable throughout. We definitely would stay there again and thoroughly recommend it anyone.
Thank you so much Meadow, we had a really great time in NYC and the room was perfect! When we get back to New York we will certainly check if it is available again :-)
Staying at Meadow was fun and it’s a great person to meet, very friendly and talkative. The room is clean and tidy, (she even made some spots available in her fridge and cupboard for guests) and it’s located just next to the subway in East Harlem. To go downtown by metro, it takes about 30 min. Worth meeting!
A unique experience! Meadow was nice enough to accomodate my early arrival and allow me to leave my bags prior to check in. I had plenty of rest, which was my top priority. I loved the location and was able to visit spanish historical/ cutural sites so close to Meadows place I walked there and enjoyed every minute of it.
Staying at Meadows was great: the room is large and comfortable, the bed (even being a pull-out bed) has a very comfortable matress, the apartment is spot-clean, and Meadow is a very nice and generous hostess! She has thought of all a tourist might need: travel book and tips on what to see, restaurants suggestions in the neighborhood, a plug transformer, and the wifi network and password clearly posted! The building is located just one street away from the metro and there is a large... More »
Great place! Comfy bed! Great Hostess....and it is very close to the subway!
This is a great place to stay. The place is clean, warm and cozy and nicely-decorated, the location is convenient (subway is very close), and meadow is a great host. Much better than staying at a hotel. I stayed for 2 nights on a business trip, and I'm sure I'll be back!
NYComfort WINS! Meadow introduced myself and Nat to Red Velvet cake and that is already a 100% review. Comfy room that was able to fit all of the things we purchased on our trip! Meadow is a great host and she made us feel as though we were at home. I am hoping Meadow doesn't plan on moving out cuz I plan on returning to NYComfort when I come back to NY. If you are coming to NY come to NYComfort, great food in the area, subway is really close and Meadow is really helpful with directions and... More »
My husband and I agree with Nick J. Book it now! Meadow's apartment is perfect, lovely large private room. Great host! Thanks, Meadow!
I stayed with Meadow for a whole month! The room was spacious, private and comfortable. The appartment is literally up the street form the subway station. I was able to get from the appartment to any place in new york in no time! Meadow was an absolutley amazing host. She's really extremely nice and friendly, made me feel at home and very comfortable. She was also very helpful and always ready to answer any questions I had.I highly recommend Meadow's place to anyone planning on visiting NYC!!
My girlfriend and I stayed for a long weekend last week and couldn't have been happier. It's great and really does deserve all these good reviews. Meadow really made us feel at home - balancing perfectly the homely welcome and local advice (she drew us an amazing map of local restaurants) with privacy and our own space etc. Basically, it's a lovely flat with a wonderful host in a great area. Book it now!
Meadow was an amazing host -- I would recommend her to anyone. I had a unique situation and needed a place to sleep during the a.m. hours and she was extremely accommodating. The place is comfortable, immaculate, reasonably priced and close to the subway. I would definitely stay there again!!!
I've been in Meadow place 5 days. She's a great host and a very nice person. The place is very clean and only 50 meters from the subway. I will definitely come here next time, if available ;-)
I had a lovely time at Meadows place. She was a friendly host and provided a lovely, clean and quiet place to stay while I was preparing for my exams. The location was vibrant and convenient and the WIFI and TV made staying in excellent! She is really nice and helpful and the apartment is great and safe with a 24 doorman service. I would definitely recommend Meadows to anyone who wants a home away from home in New York City. Thank you Meadow!
We loved our stay in NYC, without Meadow and her cute place our impression wouldn't be so strong! Looking through all these comments left by Meadows guests (who definitely became her friends)) ) We can say - YES its true. Comfortable, clean, WIFI, subway, and YES we recommend to others and if we stay in NYC next time, now we know where! Thank you Meadow!!!
I really enjoyed my stay at Meadow's place. It greatly exceeded my expectations. Meadow was a gracious hostess and very personable. Her place was clean with a comfortable bed, television, and wireless internet. It was well worth the money. I would definitely recommendit to anyone who plans to spend some time in NYC. Also, the neighborhood that she lives in is lively and diverse.
We were attracted to Meadow’s place by the impressive, 100% positive reviews. (…skipping the whiney guy who was looking for a soul mate…honestly, what’s up with that??) Given all the reasons already noted, it’s small wonder that her place is so popular!! Staying here added a warm and inviting element to our week-long New York experience and we recommend it wholeheartedly. We are already looking forward to a repeat stay with this first-class host.
Hi Folks, You get the gist. Meadow is wonderful. Meadow's place is wonderful. We're already planning our next trip uptown on the 6! Mike
I stayed at Meadow’s for 8 nights …now THAT is a long stay and Meadow’s place was my very first experience with an AIRBNB type of setup. Her place is perfect, right next to the subway, (really right next to it), close to many places to eat (from mexican to your staple American burger king and dominos et al), a wine shop right next door, and a nice first view of new york from the bedroom window..the place is clean, really clean and she is a meticulous very well organised person – very...

Meadow was friendly and helpful. The apartment was extremely clean and well decorated, comparable to a five-star hotel. The building has a tight security and is just two blocks away from the 6 subway station and the 116 bus stop. The room has everything you will need. Staying here made us feel at home.
Meadow's place is great for stay in NYC. Comfortable and close to downtown. Meadow is friendly and helpful. She is art enthusiast and can help you great deal if you wanna know about museums in NYC and Washington!!
Meadow was awesome. Very friendly, happy to answer my never ending questions and really helped out. She is a wonderful, warm host and has great friends to boot. The apartment was excellent and really close to the subway in a safe doorman building. Experience NY as a local, do yourself a favour and stay at Meadows. Cheers from OZ.
I booked Meadow’s place last minute, she was very accommodating and friendly. The room had all the comforts of home, very clean and spacious. Quick walk to the 6 subway line, cool neighbourhood, really good authentic Mexican food! Thanks Meadow for all the shopping tips, made some amazing finds!
We stayed one night with Meadow. The place was lovely, and Meadow was very flexible about our arrival time (which changed due to factors outside our control). Very convenient to the M60 bus if you need to get to/from Laguardia. Sorry we couldn't stay longer; maybe next time!
We stayed at Meadow's for four nights and it was excellent. Great room and view, very comfortable bed, really near the Metro and a very friendly hostess. We wish we could have stayed longer
i had a great time. the place is comfortable and clean. close to the subway. and meadow is an awesome host. wish i could've stayed longer. thanks for all!!!
Don't stay there... because you won't want to leave! you'll feel at home. We stayed 9 nights and all was perfect. Thanks Meadow, maybe next time we could skate, eat popcorn and enjoy some marc's tricks!
We had a great time at Meadow's place. She's a wonderful host - very nice and friendly - and she gave us good tips about where to go. Her apartment is very clean and cozy, the room is spacious and the bed is comfortable. We immediately felt at home. Very convenient location close to the subway. The perfect place to get some rest after a long day of walking around. Thank you Meadow!
Ok, everything has been said already. Just go there and you won't regret it !
Thanks so much Meadow! We enjoyed our stay. It was everything I hoped for and more. Next time Iam in the east, I will definatley look her up. The place was quiet and clean and she was very friendly. She didnt even feel like a host to me, more like a friend I know. :)
Stayed at Meadow's for 4 nights and had a lovely time. The apartment is convenient and cozy. As a single female traveler, safety is a top priority for me, she gave me tips on when would be best to cab it back and when I could take the subway - I always felt safe in the neighborhood. Great host (and great price) and would highly recommend her!
A wonderful holiday in New York, I enjoyed my stay. Meadow is a perfect host, hospitable and friendly. The apartment is very clean and spacious, with free wifi and close to the underground. Thanks so much Meadow, all was perfect!
We stayed 4 nights in Meadows lovely apartment whilst Meadow was away. The apartment is great, with a very convenient location for quickly accessing downtown New York. It was so nice to have an apartment in New York so we could feel like locals instead of tourists and I would recommend the apartment as a great place to stay in New York.
Myself and the missus stayed at Meadow's apartment and it was just perfect. Great location, clean, comfortable and Meadow herself is a delight. Next time I get over to NY, I'll definitely staying their again. Thanks again Meadow, you made our stay!
The last four days of our New York holiday we stayed at Meadow’s place.....We love you Meadow for your hospitality and friendly energy. Your spacy livingroom was changed into our living/ bedroom, in which it was not difficult at all to feel at home. Also we loved the Harlem environment in which your house is located. We had a save feeling througout our stay in this upper right part of Manhattan. Even the coffeshop owners- Coffeshop Spaha- said goodbye to us while we waited for a taxi. Next... More »
Meadow is total sweetheart and her place is amazing: the room is huge with good light, trees right outside the windows, very neat and clean, new wood floors, and 1.5 blocks to a convenient subway stop that goes all the way to the south of Manhattan on a single train, and very quiet compared to where I've stayed previously in NYC. She has maps and magazines to help tourists around and is really friendly. It felt really restful and pleasant to escape the bustle of downtown, but I could... More »

Meadow is a fantastic host and her place is great! You get your own privacy in an enclosed room, real bed, free wifi and the place is right near the subway. Amazing stay overall!
Great place + great host!! I stayed for almost one month and it was great having a comfortable, quiet, and secure place to come back after an exhausting day in the city. The room has wifi and air conditioning, which was amazing. The location was unbeatable, absolutely the nicest part of East Harlem. For the price and the location alone, this is highly recommended. And Meadow? She was a very nice, thoughtful and helpful host. I spend a great time with her!
August 2010Meadow has ALWAYS been able to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for her guests! She is sensitive and respectful to each individual's need of privacy and provides a warm & secure space. Having lived in NYC for many years, Meadow is a great resource of information regarding the best and most cost- effective venues (Museums, bars, hangouts etc..) through out the city to make your stay most enjoyable. She is fun to get to know and to be around. You won't regret your stay at... More »
Meadow is a warm and friendly person, with a cozy apartment in SOHA. Her place is very clean, and the building has a doorman. Just a short walk to Central Park.
Meadow is lovely and her place is sweet! : Big room, private, nice light, eclectically decorated. The sofa bed is super comfy and easy to pull out. The apartment is in doorman building one block away from the subway. Meadow can advise you on where to go, what to do and how to get there-- or you can just use her WiFi to plan things yourself! This place is a great home base to explore the city from-- whether you are staying a few days or a few weeks. You really couldn't ask for anything more!
