Simply, positively, without reservation, one of the
most beautiful, elegant, comfortable and luxurious
apartments in New York City. Add in the fabulous
location on a picture perfect tree-lined street steps
from Central Park (no exaggeration), around the
corner from the subway, and short walking distance
to Lincoln Center and the Museum of Natural
History and you have the perfect deluxe vacation
home in New York City. And I haven't even begun
talking about the delightful, available, considerate
and couldn't-be-friendlier owners, Sheila and Bill.
My husband and I have stayed at this property
several times (and shame on me for not writing
these comments earlier!) and we simply cannot find
anything but positive things to say about our
experience there each and every time. The quality
of the furnishings, design, and amenities are
beyond that of a 5 star hotel...and the layout of this
very friendly home is spacious and cozy at the
same time. We have eaten out, ordered in, and
prepared full gourmet meals (kitchen is a dream for
cooks) while staying here, each an easy and equally
pleasant option. The bedrooms and bathrooms are
gorgeously fitted out and the design elements
throughout the entire apartment could be out of a
magazine, it is truly that beautiful.
Sheila was marvelous from the very first
communication to the last - prompt with email
responses and ever-ready to provide suggestions,
solutions and advice.
We have stayed at VRBO properties for many years
and in many different locations, our stays here at
Sheila and Bill's beautiful Upper West Side home
have been our favorite by far. We highly
recommend this apartment to those looking for a
luxurious, beautiful and affordable alternative to
the highest level hotels in New York City. Thank
you Sheila and Bill for providing such a wonderful
home-away-from-home when we come to your
enchanting city...we look forward to many more
visits in the future. Lisa & Frits

What an experience!
Our heartfelt thanks to Sheila & Bill for helping us enjoy our recent visit to New York city.
Our group of four had been looking for accommodation in a central location, where we could hopefully live like “locals” – and we were certainly not disappointed.
Not only were we in an enviable position in the Upper West Side, less than a minute’s walk to Central Park and the Natural History Museum, and close to a choice of restaurants and great
local shopping including Fairways and Zabars, we also had the good fortune of enjoying your immaculately presented home.
Everything we needed was at hand, including the use of a gourmet kitchen, full sized renovated bathrooms, a large fireplace and central heating. Spacious and well appointed living areas,
tasteful furnishings and warm tones all heightened the appeal of the home, and sometimes, as we heard the envious comments of people passing by, we thought we even looked like
locals; enjoying our beautiful self-contained apartment in a fantastic neighbourhood.
Thanks again for sharing your home with us – it will last in our memory for a lifetime.
Best regards, and warm wishes,
Cheryl, Marjorie, Melissa and Justin |

| Our family enjoyed an amazing vacation, last Thanksgiving weekend, in this beautiful home. Sheila and Bill could not have been nicer to work with and their home is exquisite! It is so beautifully decorated yet very comfortable. As an added bonus, the home is conveniently located near Central Park, subways and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. On Thanksgiving morning, we casually walked to the end of the street to watch the parade with our two eight-year-old children. What a thrill! To then cook dinner in the gourmet kitchen, and later eat together in the elegant dining room, made us feel like we were in a movie. It was a special trip we will never forget. There are also some terrific restaurants nearby. We did a lot of fun sightseeing in NYC and it was comforting and relaxing to "come home" here each night. We have many happy and special memories from this trip! |

| We can say, without a doubt, that this was our most favorite trip ever. Not because it was our first trip to NYC, but because of this apartment, and it's owners. You will find no better location and we've never been more comfortable in any hotel, no we have not. Sheila and Bill made us feel so comfortable, they met us at their apartment on arrival, which has never happened on all of our VRBO rentals. And we've been using VRBO and HomeAway for a couple of years now. I just can't say enough - the trip was perfect, the apartment was perfect, Sheila and Bill are the most perfect hosts. There is no place we know of, of all the places we've stayed, hotels, homes, apartments, none compare with the "Georgian Townhouse" and our New York experience. No regrets, lovely, lovely, lovely! |
