Best in NYC! Urban feel private garden, easy access to all of NYC,NJ, LI & Conn.

“Old school” New York City urban style combined with modern amenities, relaxing exterior grounds including a private tranquil back yard garden, As our guest, you will enjoy the smell of a gentle sea breeze from the nearby long island sound mixed with the occasional “clickity clack” sound of our subway train pulling into Pelham Station off in the distance.

There are 2 separate apartments available for you in this home. This apartment "which we call the garden apartment" is the first floor apartment and is slightly lower cost than the upstairs apartment, and the upstairs apartment "which we call the Urban Suite" . Both have a similar appearance and decor but the upstairs has even more upgrades and a better living room/second bedroom arrangement for groups with more than 2 adults (search property ID 1368909) , or you may rent the entire home and connect both apartments to make 1 large home for a large group or family (search property ID 1453361). The home has been completely renovated in 2018 and everything is brand new.

Nestled in a quiet relaxing neighborhood. Just a 5 minute walk to the subway station and an MTA bus terminal, which connects you to the entire city for $2.75. Why stay “cooked up” in a tiny expensive Manhattan room? When you stay at NYC hideaway in the “Pelham Bay” area of the Bronx, you get the best New York has to offer by Coming home each night to spacious apartment including relaxing exterior grounds in a quiet area with a lot to offer. You will be surprised that in minutes you can enjoy “City Island” (A colonial New England island) with its quaint shops and bistros, to Little Italy of the Bronx “Arthur Avenue”, Orchard Beach, and even beautiful modern shopping malls and Movie theaters. Manhattan is just a short trip by Subway or bus saving you a frustrating drive and expensive parking in Manhattan. Access here from Laguardia or Kennedy airports in 15-30 min (depending on traffic). In the fall, you have quick access to the apple orchards “upstate”, and we are located just off I95 and just a short drive to Connecticut, Long Island and New Jersey. It won’t be long before you’re telling everyone about your NYC Hideaway.

Your “NYC Hideaway” features a Brand new Gourmet Kitchen with everything you’ll need to prepare fresh meals or to entertain guests. The spacious living room features a 65” flat screen smart TV with plenty of room to stretch out and relax, this living room doubles as a 2nd bedroom with its “ultra-comfy” bedding and roomy closet space (if there are any questions about this room please feel free to contact us for clarification). The master bedroom features a Brand new Queen size bed with a memory foam mattress, 49” flat screen smart TV, Business desk, Printer, dressing table, and plenty of room to store lots of clothing and personal items. You have full access to share our fully maintained vegetable garden featuring several variations of fresh Lettuce, Tomatoes, Peppers, Herbs, eggplant, cucumber, watermelon, and even Pumpkins in the Fall. Before harvesting your vegetables you may want to enjoy sitting under our shady grape vine where you can enjoy fresh grapes as you relax ****When fruits and vegetables are in season!**** . We are prepared to assist you with other travel assistance; such as private car service, local attractions, entertainment planning, and . We look forward to having you as our guest while truly enjoying a better way of staying and appreciating your time in New York City.

Property worked well for our stay, but we had to depart early due to Covid-19 concerns. Chris has been very responsive and I would recommend utilizing the properties he manages.

This place is awesome for someone who likes to cook their own food while on holiday. The train is 2 blocks away as well as the bus which makes getting into the city or around the Bronx a breeze. Chris is very helpful sending you recommendation texts as well as being on hand if you ever have questions or concerns. It was overall a great experience and I would highly recommend checking this place out! Thanks again!

I cannot say enough good things about this property and this experience. I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Bronx. My daughter is a student at Fordham Univ. and it worked out perfectly. Apartment was spotless and the host was more attentive than a newlywed husband:)

The place was immaculately clean and added advantage was the prestine vegetable garden. Chris keeps us informed on the places to go and restaurants to eat. Parking is a bit tricky but there is a print out on the kitchen on parking site suggestions. Will definitely recommend this.

NYC HIDEAWAY IN THE BRONX
I have been using vrbo for 12 years and this is the most incredible place I have every stayed. Chris is truly an innkeeper; anticipates all your needs and provides them. He was in contact every day and gave us fantastic recommendations on where to eat, what do see, places to go, things to do. The location is a short walk to the 6 train and the subways were very easy to navigate. They took us everywhere we wanted to go within reason. Chris has a group of drivers that are available to pick you up and return you to the airport or anywhere else you need to go downtown. Their rates are competitive with taxis and Uber and they were prompt and friendly. The best feature of the NYC Hideaway is the beautifully tended garden; we picked fresh strawberries and vegetables for salads and side dishes. Everything was fresh and delicious! If you are visiting NYC, this is definitely the place to stay.

Highly recommend NYC Hideaway!
Highly recommend NYC Hideaway! Beautiful historic home with high end updates. A place of peace and daily rejuvenation in the busy city. We rented the downstairs garden apartment (back yard space is gorgeous. With grapes, tomatoes, fresh lettuce just to name a few - which you are encouraged to eat and enjoy when in season). It was great for the 3 of us and our small dog. Chris and his staff that help manage the property are the best and truly want to make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. I short walk (2 blocks) to the 6 train and you are in Time Square in 45 minutes. The service here is nothing short of 5 star resorts. Fresh fruit, breakfast treats, and coffee in the entry way in the morning and freshly made ice cold lemon water and goodies in the afternoon was our experience, with daily text messages to make sure all was good, and recommendations on restaurants and events going on in the area. AC kept the place cool and the bedding was clean and comfortable. Extremely affordable for a trip to NYC.

Amazing place!!
I can't say enough about how great this place is! Super clean and great location - only 2 blocks from the transit station. Located in a quiet neighborhood, it was perfect to sit in the beautiful back yard and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. Chris would send ideas each day of things to see and do, and was quick to respond when we had questions. The beds were very comfortable. Fresh coffee and breakfast treats were in the entryway each morning, and hot water for packaged drinks and more treats in the evening! Everything you could possibly need was provided in the kitchen. There is absolutely nothing negative to say about NYC Hideaway!! We couldn't have picked a better place to stay, and will certainly stay there again the next time we're in NYC!

Awesome last minute get away!
We booked this last minute as a get away for our 18 yr anniversary! We had a wonderful experience and are so grateful for Chris and ALL he provides through his home! We were given everything we needed to able to enjoy a few nights in NY--and enjoy both the quiet of the neighborhood and the fun of the city! We walked every where we went--except when we used the car service that works with Chris's customers! It was an amazing space and we never once had to wonder where to go or what to do!! Highly Recommend!
