Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Upper East Side, Manhattan

So there are apparently not enough characters allowed in the review to fully express our pleasure staying at this wonderful place. We have stayed in multiple Airbnbs with our business the past five years and this particular one is in the top three. Upon approach, take in the charming brownstones and tree lined streets. Once you open the door, you are greeted with natural light filled space with a chefs kitchen. The decor is modern, yet not stark. The added elements, such as the exposed brick and wood, emanate a warmth and coziness. The outdoor back space is just right, but sitting on the front steps is the best because you meet all kinds of charming characters around the neighborhood. Upstairs are two bedrooms, each with dream bathrooms, right down to the showerheads. beds were SO comfortable and perfect for melting into a deep sleep after a day in Manhattan. Favs:bathrooms, kitchen island, neighborhood shops and cafes, argh there’s not enough room left just book it already!!

Abi was an exceptional host! The location was ideal, with convenient free street parking. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and unwind.

Mark is an extremely responsive host. The cottage was quaint and had exactly what we needed for our stay. It was clean, and he was proactive about communication with us as well as responsive when we had questions. The area has lots of great restaurants but is still safe and quiet. We will absolutely be back as I visit the area often. Five star review!

It was a quiet, clean, and reliable environment. We were comfortable for three days. We had our tea and coffee as if we were in our own home. It’s within walking distance to the metro, so going out and coming back wasn’t a problem. We recommend it to those who want to see New York.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience during my stay at this Airbnb. The place was exactly as described — cozy, clean, and beautifully maintained. The host was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and quick to respond to any questions I had. The location was perfect, close to local attractions and amenities, making it easy to explore the area. The space was well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay (there were even hair styling tools 🙂), and I especially enjoyed the thoughtful touches that made it feel like a home away from home. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable, hassle-free place to stay. I would definitely love to return in the future! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Great hospitality. Clearnly environment. Stored luggage early before check in. Very quiet and calm.

The place was very cozy and homey. It was renovated very recently, so everything felt new. The living room and kitchen were spacious and well equipped. It was evident that Karla the host thought about all the small details to make this a great stay. The house is a walkable distance from bus routes to NYC. Karla is super responsive and addressed all the questions we had quickly and efficiently!

Jian's place is clean, comfortable, and a good value for a short stay. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, the apt is a 15 minute bus ride to downtown Flushing, and 5 minutes by uber from LGA. The neighborhood is quiet, and I felt very safe walking late at night. However you will hear the planes taking off from LGA. Check-in is via a keypad and Jian responds quickly to any questions. There was a glitch at the beginning of the stay which Jian resolved quickly. The nearest subway into Manhattan is from downtown Flushing, so traveling into Manhattan can take 90 minutes, or even longer if returning late at night as the buses from Flushing run less frequently. The bed and linens are comfortable and of good quality, the bathroom has a large step-in shower with great water pressure and instant hot water. Flushing is a great destination for authentic Chinese food with more variety and better prices than Chinatown. I definitely recommend Jian's place.

Great stay in New York at Milton's place. The latter is very friendly and responsive to various questions. The accommodation is conveniently located opposite the metro stations (10 min walk), and the lines serve the south of Manhattan to Brooklyn. The listing is very well equipped, as described. Although New York City is known for never sleeping, we managed to find some peace in this quiet accommodation. I therefore recommend the accommodation offered by Milton.

Very cool place. Loved it. Will definitely go back.

Beautiful apartment in a lovely quiet neighbourhood. Gorgeous restaurant downstairs, Patsys pizzeria. Short stroll to subway. Apartment was well equipped, spotlessly clean and catered for all our needs. Yue was a very responsive host and allowed us leave our baggage at the apartment both before check in and also after check out. Would highly recommend.

Henri’s place has an excellent location in Manhattan with walking distance to many places and short commute by bus or subway to most attractions. Super quick check-in and check-out process. It’s right next to Korea town so plenty of good Korean/Asian options restaurants and bars that open til midnight or 24/7. The room itself is big enough for four of us since we spent most of the days outside. Great experience overall!

Great place but probably not the best if your 5’10 or taller

What a great spot in NYC! There was plenty of room for me, my daughter, and her friend to stay while celebrating her college graduation. Geo’s place was clean, safe, and on a surprisingly quiet street for the city! The beds were super comfy, and it was nice to have the convenience of 2 separate bedrooms, a kitchen, and washer/dryer in the apt. It’s also only a 10 min walk to the 59th/Lexington station. We had a great time and would definitely stay again!

Adele’s place was lovely! It fit our needs and was very charming. Kate was a perfect host as well. She shared several local restaurants and bakeries and coffee shops that were wonderful. We would love to stay here again if we make it back to New York! Highly recommend!!

It was our first time in Manhattan and it was a wonderful experience to stay at this airbnb. The place is very clean, quiet, and in a fantastic location.

Location Location Location! Very hard to find a neat place to stay on UWS. This apartment has great restaurant selection right at the door step. Either for a cozy dinner or kids crazy morning routine. Keep in mind this is NYC so not elevator access if you need but it was ok for us even with stroller. Overall recommend this place if you budget allows.

Great place to stay while visiting family. As I grew up in the area I know my way around, but easy to get around for anyone! The bay is a beautiful site when you walk up the block. There are many places to visit in walking distance as well as plenty of transportation choices withing walking distance. Plenty of places to eat as well, with many different choices of food. Nice private quite apartment, I will be staying again in the Fall.

Benjamin was a great host and very responsive. We have 3 dogs that travel with us and sometimes finding an Airbnb can be difficult. With a dedicated parking spot and grassy fenced in back yard this Airbnb was perfect for us. The space looked just like the photos, clean and everything we needed. The location was great, a quick walk to the light rail and we were able to get over to the city quickly. Will definitely be looking to book here again when we travel this way in the future.

I felt home at once in this beautifully furnished place. Antony was friendly and welcoming, and I could not have been more comfortable. The neighborhood felt very safe and was not noisy, and I found everything I needed within a short walk. I would not hesitate to stay here again, and although 6 stars is not a rating, I was more comfortable here than at many other places I have rated with a 5. I recommend it without reservation.

Our family of 4 stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect. We were able to walk to the path in 5 min to connect to the NYC subways. On the walk, you pass multiple cafes and coffee shops. Great craft beer and wine shop on the corner. Pizza shop, Basile’s, right next to the PATH is perfect for a late night snack. The beds were comfortable, and even though there was some street noise heard at night, a sound machine was provided to help lull you to sleep. The only thing you have to be aware of is the unit is located on the 2nd floor, and you have to go up a narrow set of stairs which can be hard with multiple suitcases. Other than that, a comfortable and convenient place to stay with everything within walking distance!

Great location. Easy access to Manhattan. Very helpful host. Clean apartment. Will definitely stay here again when visiting NY. Very enjoyable experience.

This Airbnb was perfect for our needs! It was clean, comfortable, and close to public transit. AJ was easy to get a hold of and he even brought us chargers twice. It's in a beautiful neighborhood, too. There are lots of options to eat around the place.

Being welcomed by the entire family to getting end to end support during the stay, it was a great experience staying at this bnb .. amazing view , kitchen fully stacked , very prompt response , extremely helpful attitude… would recommend stay here if you want to be just around NYC but don’t want the hustle bustle of the city
