ABOUT THE SPACE:
-Spacious bedroom suite housed within a classic Upper East Side Townhouse located on East 62nd Street between Park & Lexington in the historic Upper East Side Lenox Hill neighborhood.
-There is no kitchen or access to a kitchen in the apartment. Provided is a small fridge and electric kettle.
-The comfortable suite is accessed via a private keyed entrance.
-Bedding and towels are provided including sheet sets (fitted and flat sheet), cotton blankets, down pillows, down quilts (winter months), a mattress pad. 1x monthly cleaning includes laundering of sheets and towels.
-A grand original marble fireplace mantle, parquet floors, and a nearly 10' ceiling form the backdrop for this wonderfully decorated, approximately 345 square foot suite.
-A handsome Ralph Lauren leather settee sits at the foot of a gracious carved-wood four poster queen bed with rolling-pin headboard, both of which give way to a small marble bistro table and bistro chair.
-Two more marble-topped items - a Victorian washstand and Victorian dresser complete the bedroom's primary furnishings.
-The prints of 18th and 19th century ante-rooms and throne-rooms along the North wall remind one of the kind of luxury that the bedroom itself hearkens back to and perhaps makes it apparent why Country Living Magazine chose to photograph the Front Library for their "Inn of the Month" feature back in the day when 1871 House operated as a NYC-Style B&B.
-Other furnishings include a rectangular marble table overlooking east 62nd Street (a perfect work perch), coffee table and wool rug. The narrow vintage bathroom is composed of a tub/shower, pedestal sink and toilet.

Other info

Thank you for considering a stay with us. We are a small family-run business located in the heart of one of the largest cities in the world, offering guests a unique experience that blends the intimacy of a small town with the excitement of New York City. To help ensure a pleasant stay for all our guests, we have developed some policies that we ask guests to familiarize themselves with before booking.

We typically don't offer discounts for monthly or annual stays as our pricing is already priced for extended stays and is competitively priced compared to short-term stays at hotels or hotel alternatives in the area.

Our historic townhouse was built in the late 1800s and retains much of its original structure, which may not be suited for all accessibility needs. Please also keep in mind that this is not a modern structure and there may be signs of wear and tear.

The suites are not provided with a buzzer or intercom system so guests will need to coordinate with delivery services and meet them at the front door of the house. Additionally, as we are located in a bustling city, guests should expect some street noise from construction or traffic.

While we love pets, unfortunately, we cannot accommodate them at our property.

Please note that there is no laundry facility in the building, but guests have access to a multitude of nearby laundry and dry-cleaning merchants that offer laundry service by the pound with free pick-up and delivery.

Finally, please note that the host resides on the premises.

We hope you have a pleasant experience with us and look forward to welcoming you.
