Why Kids Love it
Great for all ages. Restaurants nearby are child-friendly. The express subway is nearby and has an elevator, making it easy to get downtown with a stroller. The hosts can offer plenty of babycare items if needed: depending on the age of the children, pack n' play, high chair, bathtub, stroller, blankets, toys, and books can be provided. In a quiet residential area with numerous parks within walking distance (including Central Park) and hence lots of playgrounds for little ones.

Bright, airy, clean, and recently renovated. Rooms are tastefully decorated and painted, with house plants, bright colors and cozy furnishings. We love the brownstone exterior and the bamboo floor/ white wall pairing, giving the apartment a light and spacious feel.
Harlem, Manhattan
DJ sets and double dutch
This part of Upper Manhattan runs from the East River to the Hudson and is known for its treelined brownstone blocks and multicultural community. Stop by the Totally Kid Carousel in Riverbank State Park - it’s the only one in the world designed by kids - or enjoy impromptu concerts, DJ sets and plays in the neighborhood's many parks in the summer.
