Monthly Rentals in Randalls and Wards Islands

This room is a great deal for what you’re getting. You have your own room, shared kitchen and bathroom. The house has two floors but you live only in your own floor because there is a kitchen and bathroom in each floor. You’ll be sharing the spaces with 3 more people. There is a cleaning person coming multiple times a week if not everyday to take care of the shared amenities. You can hear people outside of your room so if you’re a light sleeper it might be a problem but personally I had no issues with that. It’s very close to the Yellow subway line (N and W), Trade Fair (groceries), and multiple restaurants. Lolita is polite and responds within a couple hours. It’s pretty good, especially if you’re relocating to NYC and needs a temporary place to settle in the city.

This place is in a great location - it is basically on the border of upper Manhattan and East (Spanish) Harlem. It is an easy commute to and from Manhattan, with short walks from the M15 north -bound (2nd Ave) and south-bound (1st Ave - 3 min walk) bus lines. The subway walk to 116th and Lexington is a bit longer, but doable at 15 min of leisure strolling. Other reviewers have commented on the walk to the train station as "sketchy". As in all things New York, you should be on the alert after 9 PM on any street. I did not feel in any particular danger that I had felt in parts of other boroughs, to include Brooklyn and the Bronx. Jillian is a very proactive and communicative host - she usually responded to us within minutes. The apartment is wonderful and very modernistic. The closet could use a few more hangers. My only wish would be a more solid mattress, but compared to all the positives of this place, I'll still stay there again.

Eliot was an amazing host we stayed 2.5 months with my friend he helped us with everything we needed! We felt like home since day one. Super close to the train station. Our overall experience was amazing and I definitely recommend the place to stay!

I had a delightful stay. The room really is spacious! Kathy and Chip were immensely helpful. The apartment is clean and tastefully decorated. The view from the room is amazing. The building and neighborhood feel safe. Much recommended.
