Due to unforeseen circumstances I never got the chance to stay at this Airbnb - though I did pay in full for the month of May.
However, because my host was very understanding and patient while I was trying to figure out whether to stay in NY or move back to Pa, I feel compelled to give them a favorable review.
The apartment itself is located on the top floor of a small-ish apartment building on Riverside Drive in Hamilton Heights. There’s an elevator and Chip offered to help me with my suitcase if I needed it. You will be situated right across from the Hudson River and the one time I visited the park I found it to be one of the few quiet places in the city where you can actually relax and enjoy nature for a few minutes.
Chip and his wife Kathy go out of their way to make you feel at home. I was given a set of keys (which I never used) to the downstairs front door and the mailbox, and was told to make myself at home in the kitchen. There were two other Airbnb guests along with the hosts and their two young adult children. Kathy cooks every night and this Airbnb has much more of an inclusive family vibe than any other ones that I’ve stayed at!
The room itself is small, but clean and cozy. You’ll have plenty of room for clothing and Kathy even put the bed on risers for me to create some additional storage underneath. If you’re looking to stay in the Hamilton Heights area, I completely recommend this room! There’s also parking nearby and tons of stores and restaurants on Broadway!
