Oxbridge Carnegie Hill New York

The best thing about it is the fact that is not a hotel - it's an apartment, so you have the feeling of living in the city, which is great! You can have meals at home, like breakfast, and that's always a plus because you can save money and go eat in a better place. And the apartment was very neat and clean! You can find a lot of good and cheap places […] to eat close buy, and a small grocery store next door. The not so good part: the check in, like it was mentioned here, is not in the building - is about 10 blocks from there, so be prepared to walk with your bags or get a cab. The location (upper east side) is not that close to most touristic spots - but there is a subway station two blocks from the apartment, so you can go anywhere easily. Since it's an apartment, you don't get maid service. And the TV is kind of small. But who goes to NYC to watch TV?? For me and my boyfriend was a very good and pleasant experience, exactly what we were looking for! We would definitely stay there again and recommend to our friends! Continua a leggere

The apartments are nice, exposed brick and hardwood floors. But there is no help at all with bags and no elevators. No change in towels or linens either. No TV in the bedroom. But the location is perfect if you have a conference in the Upper east side of Manhattan. Nice little restaurants close by. Very convenient.

Great area and great room for the price. Convenient full kitchen. And very clean. Close to subway and lots of little restaurants/shops. Steps are steep and no elevator. Beds/living room furniture are NOT comfortable. If you have back problems, you'll definitely want to skip. Also, TV is extremely small, but who goes to NY to watch TV???

Affirm most of other reviews. The upper east side location is great, and was perfect for me for this trip, and it feels like having an apt in NY, but the layout, having to go through one bedroom to get to the other is a negative, as is the absence of elevators. I also never got the free wifi to work, and never got an answer when trying to call the […] customer service phone number provided. Continua a leggere

The apartment was adequate for the cost. The location of this apartment was great. We could easily get to several food markets and restaurants. We had no trouble getting a cab, even at 4:30AM. The room was very clean, however, the window in the living room did not lock. ( I did report this to the leasing agent and he made a note). The contact number […] that we got at check-in was answered by the same person each time I called, and the agent was helpful. The location for pick-up of the keys was efficient, and were able to give us the keys immediately. It took less than 2 minutes to pick up the keys. Plates, cups and utensils were provided, but there were no measuring spoons or measuring cups in the kitchen. Although there were ample glasses and plates, there were only 2 cereal bowls. The master bedroom was comfortable, but the second bedroom had two single sized cots which were not comfortable (The beds were mattresses only on a spring frame-no box spring mattress.) There was only one closet in the apartment and that was in the living room. The rooms were set up so that the people in the master bedroom had to go through the second bedroom to reach the bathroom. The doors on the two bedrooms stuck to the floor so it took some effort to get them to open and close. The television worked, but it would have been helpful to have had a channel listing available.The remote turned the set on, but we could not change channels with it. Although the TV had a HD tuning box, we were able to get only 12 or so channels. The wireless internet access was wonderful. Although the description listed a clock radio, I did not see one. As stated in the description, there is no elevator. The steps were quite steep so getting a heavy suitcase up to the 3rd floor was difficult. The apartment building was quiet and felt very safe.

As many reviewers have commented, there is indeed a lot of room in the apartment. (My friend and I stayed in 2A.) The problem is the layout is so awkward that there is a lot of wasted space and the circulation is bordering ridiculous. It feels like a hacked space rather than a functional, purposefully designed space. The bathroom and the bedroom are […] on the opposite ends of the apartment, separated by a longish living/dining area. There is no towel bars or hooks for towels near the shower although there is plenty of space to install one. The closet is at the far end of the bedroom, making it almost unaccessible as it is blocked by two beds. The kitchen is disproportionally large, but the utensils aren't clean. The apartment is also very dark, even on a sunny day. The linens are probably clean, but the beds are terribly uneven. It was depressing to see a place so haphazard, so un-cared for.

This was a great deal for the location and price. Right on Madison Ave. and huge by NYC standards. Enough beds for 6, but watch the extra charges for over 2 people. It is a furnished apartment with a full size kitchen and bath. There are 2 flights of stairs to haul luggage up and the keys have to be picked up from another location, but all in all a […] very nice place to stay. Continua a leggere

Apartment was clean, comfortable and close to subway stop. I stayed with my godson (15) and it was perfect for us. Price was comparable with local hotels and allowed us much more room and a kitchen for meals. Pick up and drop off of keys was easy. The steps up to the apartment are narrow and steep. Apartment was well stocked with dishes and cookware […] and we were provided amble towels and bedding. It would be wise to bring your own washcloths and dishtowels and coffee filters were not provided. We stayed in June and it was stuffy unless the air conditioner was on. We heard very little noise from the street but could occasionally hear noise from neighboring apartments. We were able to find street parking within a couple of blocks (100th & Park St. area) and left our car there safely during our stay and used public transportation. Continua a leggere

Too much $ per person over the 2 person limit. No paper towels or toilet paper. Only enough towels for the # of people staying and they aren't washed during your stay. It was clean and neat. Plenty of bedding. Very hot and stuffy but there is air conditioners.

Everything was great! Overall my friend and I really needed a place to sleep, we were out in the city from morning to late at nights. We loved it that it felt like we were sort of at home. Its an apt, NY Style you can say. I think the price was great for it.

Just as the last reviewed sated: 'The apt was much bigger than any hotel room' yup, could easily house 5 people. Free wireless internet, unexpected at any hotel, however, I suspect the modem needed to be reset, as someone had entered our room one afternoon and left all of the lights on when they left. Good neighborhood, less than a mile from good […] nightlife. As mentioned, its more of an apartment than hotel. Bring your own soap and shampoo, expect to make a trip for TP, paper towels, coffee filters etc. No big deal. I left new travel soaps and shampoo for the next guests, hopefully the cleaning people left them alone. Picking up keys is a bit of a hassle as it's a few blocks away, but checking out couldn't be easier "leave keys on the table and shut the door behind you" Overall, very satisfied, would recommend to anyone. Just read all the reviews like a responsible adult and make sure you will be happy with what you will be getting. Continua a leggere

Great place to stay! Was easy to get the keys (this is an apartment with no doorman- so we went to other building ten blocks north and got keys). We were able to just leave keys on the counter when we left. Good location- easy to get to 6 subway at 96th street. Not much around, but check out Joy Burger Bar on lex and 103rd, or head to 3rd Ave and 86th […] for bars and restaurants. Very clean- full kitchen, dining table for four. Futon and other side chair that folded out into a twin futon mattress. Free wifi! And cable with lots of channels. Lots of bedding for extra guests (it was just us two). Would totally stay there with four or more people- tons of space. Awesome deal. Between our room (2b) and front apartment (2a), there was a deadbolted door (like many hotels). Wasn't very soundproof, which only mattered one morning when the maids were next door, at 10am, which is nothing to complain about anyways). Did have to buy one roll of toilet paper, started off with just half a roll. No big deal. Clean. Nice moldings and hard wood floors. Go for this place.One block from central park and you have to do the subway to get everywhere else no matter where you stay. Continua a leggere
