Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Upper West Side, Manhattan

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 a great stay at this Airbnb in New Jersey! The location is perfect if you’re planning to visit New York—it’s only a 10-minute drive to the Weehawken water ferry. From there, you can take the ferry straight into the city and hop on the free bus that takes you right to Times Square. Super convenient and scenic! The house itself was spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated. It felt cozy and welcoming, and there were plenty of games to keep us entertained during downtime. The host was also very responsive and helpful throughout the stay, which made everything even smoother. The only downside was the parking. Street parking was tough, so for my trip, I ended up using the parking garage at Port Imperial by the Envue Hotel, which cost $22 overnight. We then took an Uber back to the Airbnb—about $7–$12 depending on the time. It was a bit of a hassle, but honestly, totally worth it for the incredible view of the NYC skyline just down the street. Absolutely breathtaking!

Very cozy, clean room with a mini-fridge and filtered water. They just put a new memory foam mattress on the bed, which was very comfortable. Stella was quick to respond to messages and very kind and accommodating. It was so nice to come back to this very private and quiet room after a long day out in the city! Within walking distance of several metro stations.

The location is perfect to visit NY, Victoria is a really kind host and the flat is perfect !

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!

We had a great time at Abby and Mary's apartment. The location is great! Quiet but still super fast by bus to Midtown Manhattan. We will be happy to come back.

Matt was great and welcoming! A sweet person and I was thankful for him on my solo trip. ❤️🫂

Young was easily one of the best Airbnb Hosts I’ve had, he was super easy to communicate with, left snacks and plenty of amenities for us, and even gave us some extra space. Young describes the Airbnb perfectly in his description. I would 1000% book again with young. Super amazing host

Solid place for two to three people on a budget that want to be relatively close to Manhattan. Melissa did a good job describing transit options. There is a bus stop down the block that goes to Port Auth Bus Terminal in ~30 minutes. There is free street parking but it is very scarce! Overall, enjoyed staying there.

Wonderful overnight stay! This was perfect for our group of 5. Will come again! Do note it's a walk up to the third floor with no elevator. We had dinner at the Italian restaurant right downstairs, which was also very convenient.

We spent the weekend in NYC for my mom’s birthday! Everything was a walkable distance or a quick subway ride away. The airbnb was easy to find and was just the right size for us. It was clean and very comfortable. If given the chance we would definitely stay here again. ☺️ thank you henri!

Louise's place is very easy to find and access. It is very close to bus stops and metros, and very close to Times Square and Broadway shows. There are several restaurants around. We like the bagel shops right across the street. There is an Amish Market nearby where we can get grocery and food to cook ourselves. The rooms are clean and quiet. Although the apartment is right on the 9th Avenue, we hardly could hear any noise inside the house. It is on the 3rd floor and we were a bit worried about bringing up our luggage but then Louise sent a friend to help us bringing up our stuff when we checked in, and it was at midnight!! We were so comfortable in the house, and had great fun during our trips. I definitely recommend the place.

We really enjoyed our stay at Adel’s place. The apartment was cozy and comfortable, and the location in Hell’s Kitchen was ideal , and super walkable to Broadway and a lot of other must-see spots in Manhattan, but still quiet enough to feel like a nice escape from the city buzz. The small balcony was a great touch — perfect for morning coffee. Overall, it was a great base for our trip, and we’d definitely recommend it.

Monica is a very responsive and easy-to-reach host. She's also incredibly kind and caring. We had a red-eye flight from Phoenix and asked if we could store our luggage until check-in. Not only did she say yes, but since she didn’t have a guest that morning, she generously offered us an early check-in. She didn’t have to do that, but she did—and it made a big difference. After a long night of travel, being able to rest was a huge relief. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated, clean, and has a warm, welcoming vibe. Staying in a well-kept space really enhances the whole experience. It’s also quite spacious—perfect for three people, with enough room for everyone to have privacy when needed. One thing to note: you can hear some noise from the apartment above (like footsteps or chairs moving). It’s clearly mentioned in the listing, and it didn’t bother us at all, but if you're sensitive to noise, you may want to keep that in mind. We had a great stay and definitely stay here again!

The brownstone was exactly as it was described. Jak was super helpful and even allowed us early check in so we could start our tour of the city. The location was perfect, walking distance to many restaurants and sights. Very clean. The two flights of stairs were not an issue at all for my husband and I or our 2 teenage children. There is a bar below the unit so there was music playing into the night. You could not hear it back in the bedroom though. But, was a great place to end the day with a drink!

Great stay! Super close to the subway and a very easy check in process!

This is the best air bnb experience I have ever had. The place itself was absolutely beautiful, curated thoughtfully, attention to detail, every comfort you could want and more. I was best man for a wedding, and this served as home base for the wedding party. They all also got air bnbs in NYC and it was just an onslaught on complaints - this air bnb was nothing but rave review. A big part of that was the host, Anthony. Anthony was extremely accomodating, responsive, generous, thoughtful, proactive - and kind. I am 100% going to be looking to stay here every time I come to NYC, I feel no desire to go anywhere else or even consider a hotel. If you're thinking about it, just do it - you will not regret it. 10/10!!!!

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.

Beautiful place, functional. clear and efficiently laid out. Easy to access with Subway and buses, many shop and restaurants within a short walking distance. Ann was very responsive and helpful before, and during the stay. Only challenge was to find a nearby parking stop when arriving late at night but this is to be expected in NYC.

We loved our stay in Helen’s apartment. Location - just far enough away from Times Square - but within walking distance. Lots of amenities close by. The apartment is so very comfortable.

Stayed at this space for a combo trip of business and pleasure. It was SO well suited for both! The back patio is literally incredible and was so appreciated. The warm welcome and small but very appreciated personal touches for guests were so thoughtful, and the place itself was stunning (high ceilings, cozy blankets, the BEST pillows I've experienced at an airbnb) and the hosts themselves were incredible responsive. The location is ideal and super close to LGA, and within walking distance of fab restaurants, bodegas, and coffee shops.

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

Great location on a quiet part of Hoboken. Everything was as described and the amenities are top notch. I would definitely book it again.
