Although I live in the apartment as well, I like my guests to have their own privacy but I am always on hand to help or provide advice. This is a perfect place for those visiting Columbia University, only 10 minutes walking away from the house.
My apartment is a classic Harlem apartment.It is very charming, full of lovely decorations and very elegant.
We walk and use public transportation to go everywhere, the whole network is very well connected. We are very close to public transport links and around from a restaurant row on Frederick Douglas Boulevard. Grocery stores, banks, the post office, playgrounds, the library and public schools are all close by.
Times Square and Bryant Park only 10 minutes away by train and La Guardia airport only 20 minutes.
✓ KITCHEN: only long terms guests will be allowed to cook previous arrangements. Otherwise, they can use the kitchen for breakfast and microwave.
◘ Payment Method: Please note that we require our guests to pay 100% of the booking total to us in advance of the booking to hold your room (on top of the 15% service fee is paid to Homestay.com)

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Taous ! Taous est disponible et de très bons conseils. Son appartement est idéalement situé à NYC. Je recommande sans problème !

I have been to Airbnb and homestays all over the world and this is the most amazing stay I have ever had!
Taous is the perfect host you may have. She is caring, attentive, but also gives you space and privacy. She is extremely accommodating and responsive. Just talk to her!
Room is spacious and apartment is big by the city standard. Location is unbeatable. 5 mins walk to B, C trains or 2, 3 trains, which take you to Times Square in 15 mins. C train there takes you directly to Museum of Natural History in 7 mins. Bus 102 is in front of the house, taking you to East Village and Lower East in 35-45 mins directly. Plus, from the house, 2 mins walk to Central Park.

I had a real great time in NY - thanks Taous who offered a comfortable and homely place to prepare my sightseeings and to relax afterwards. Nicely furnished room, clean bathroom and a cosy kitchen where I loved to stay and talk with most admirable Taous. Thank you so much!

とても素晴らしいホストでした。タオと娘のシェイラはとても陽気でフレンドリー、親切です。
生活する中で顔を合わせる機会が多く、私は滞在中彼女たちとの会話をとても楽しみました。英語の勉強にもなりましたし、陽気な彼女たちはのりが良く笑顔で過ごすことができました。
家の場所はアポロシアターがあるハーレムエリアにあります。電車やバスの駅が徒歩5分程のところにあり、観光をする際にも便利です。
家は清潔で、キッチンや調味料、シャワー、洗濯機など必要なものは全て揃っていました。自炊をしたい方にもおすすめです。
またニューヨークを訪れる際には、ぜひ滞在したいと思っています。
Thank you for amazing Homestay, I will be back to your place!June 2023
Taous has an amazing home, and when you are there, you feel like family. I come to New York for business quite often, and I have stayed in many rooms around the city. Never have I truly felt at home, until now.

I stay at Taous. I felt like I was in an excellent home. And she is a very good person. service. comfortable. I traveled to San Francisco, and I felt that the travel bag would tire me, so she told me to leave it safely with me, and when you return, take it. She is a wonderful person. The location of the house is excellent, close to Central Park in Manhattan, and her reception and farewell are wonderful as well. I will go back to her.. and thank her little family. It deserves 5 stars. hussam

Taous is a wonderful person and an incredible host. She made me feel at home from the moment I walked in. Her communication was the best as well. Her home was the warmest, and best in-stay I have ever had, anywhere. Thank you, Taous!

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
