The Park Row apartment was perfect for our group of 4 women. Having 2 bathrooms AND a kitchen was a major plus. We were won over by the 2 bedrooms with queen, king, and sofa bed options as so many rentals only offered full-size beds (which can be tight if sharing).

While the neighborhood isn't as quaint as we had initially hoped for, the apartment was very close to subway stations, coffee shops, and several restaurants. The view from this 26th floor apartment was fantastic, and will be even better when the scaffolding is removed from the front of the building.

There were 4 of us on this week long vacation for Christmas in New York! All were very happy with the apartment-it was beautiful,clean, comfortable and roomy. Balcony was an added bonus, and please don't leave until you have visited the roof top for the view. You can almost touch the Empire State building!

It is not a small child friendly apartment due to many decorative accents. Teens would be no problem with adults.The beds were comfortable. In fact,I would have brought the fold out bed home with me if possible. Firm but comfortable. The staff of the building were friendly and helpful in every way. They assisted us with hailing cabs and directions.

The apartment was in a great location, cabs easily accessible at front door, subway close.

We were very impressed with every aspect of our lodging and with all the help we received if we needed any. Don't hesitate to book this apartment if you want to visit Manhattan.

The apartment was lovely.

Erin was prompt and met as there with a big smile and lots of helpful information.

The apartment was a great place to stay, the location was fantastic and it had everything we needed. The view from the roof was awesome.

I give 5 stars and would love to stay in an apartment like this everywhere I go.

Our family had a fabulous stay in NYC and the location and quality of the apartment contributed positively to our experience - particularly the views from the roof! phil berczuk

Erin was fabulous. She provided some fruit, milk, bagles and flowers that added a very nice touch upon our arrival. This property is exceptionally well maintained and in a great physical location. Just a few short steps to the train, beautiful view of ground zero, and a historical landmark to boot. You simply can't go wrong with this rental. Shawn R. Athay
(Property ref: YPAR15 October 2011) 


Leaving starter food for us was a nice touch, as was the notebook in the apartment filled with info. My two friends and I stayed here to attend a meeting nearby. This apartment has a lot of knick-knacks and a lot of chrome, but it was spacious, comfortable, and in an awesome location. It was quiet but close to everything exciting. Loved the place. Great location and the rooftop was amazing. We had a blast and will definitely return. Barbara Smalley

Wonderfully located, safe and spacious apartment with a great view, which was unfortunately blocked in part during our stay. Martin Bruetsch
(Property ref: YPAR 15 October 2011) 


We were greeted by Erin and she took us to the flat, showed us around. She was very helpful and nice. She gave us all the necessary information we needed. We had a great time in New York and this was partly because of the property we stayed in. The location was perfect, we had an amazing view, the flat had everything you could need. It was comfortable and pretty. The complimentary food and drinks were some of the good surprises we encountered. Thank you. Erkin Gozutok
(Property ref: YE2910 October 2011) 


We had a great time in New York. We got to experience how real New Yorkers live, and eat, and that is what we whant out of a holiday. The service is very professional and the site makes you feel at home, people you can trust. A name to a face.! It was very difficult to suss out which site are for real and which are fly by night. Your site was great, just as your site says, a home away from home. I will recommend you guys to everyone wanting to visit New York. Charlotte Botha
(Property ref: YPAR15 September 2011) 


This unit is amazing. It is huge based on New York standards. The view is amazing and the location is amazing as well. There are 3 subway stations all within a two minute or less walk so no matter where you are or where you need to go, you can catch a train to take you there.

As for the staff at CHS, everyone is so nice, and communication is top notch which helps ease the anxiety during the booking process. I would definitely stay at this location again or any other one in NYC. As well the next time I go to London or Paris, they will be the first people I call.

Excellent location.....all and more than we expected. So much more comfortable, than the small hotel rooms we have used in the past. The kitchen made a great difference too for morning coffee. Hope to come again. Sincerely jgray Jennifer Gray

I enjoyed my dealings with Erin and while it may be part of your routine to check in with your guests just before they are to arrive it was still a nice touch. First time I used Coach House in NYC and I hope to use them again in NYC and anywhere else they operate in. It is such a relief to deal with Coach House's professionalism while still having the caring of a small business. David Yee
(Property ref: YE40305 August 2011) 


Very impressed with Erin and her follow-up both before and during the rental. She promptly resolved the couple of glitches that occured.

This property was a great find - top location, Large enough to entertain 12 people for brunch in the huge living room, very clean, a helpful doorman - all at a very reasonable price for anyone needing 3 bedrooms & 2 baths. Would definitely recommend to our friends.

We will definitely use your service again. Frank Farbenbloom

(Property ref: YE40305 August 2011) 


The apartment was ideal for all our needs with 5 bedrooms apartment and 2 bathrooms, close to central park, subway, taxis, restaurants, bars and a great supermarket just around the corner. The neighbourhood was safe and friendly.

Erin was great to do business with and I have passed your website on to people who are travelling overseas from Australia.

We will be back to New York in one of your apartments. Bob Hughes

We would recommend this place to friends and would rent it again. Marie Herzog
(Property ref: YMER300 June 2011) 


Erin was amazing and very accommodating to our slightly odd schedule.

This apartment is fabulous! I stayed there with 3 girlfriends and we had a wonderful time. The apartment has beautiful views of the Hudson river and downtown from the 32nd floor. We were all comfortable in the apartment, plenty of space, nice linens on the beds. The rooftop terrace is by far the best thing about this apartment. We spent many afternoons and evenings sipping wine and enjoying the unobstructed views of the river, Statue of Liberty, Ellis, Governor's and Staten Islands.

The location is great, steps to the subway, across the street from a park and all ferries. It is very quiet at night, which is a treat in the city. There are several nice restaurants you can walk to, and there is a wonderful little market a few doors down that has delicious gourmet food that we would take with us and eat on the roof top.


We will stay here again. Alethea Bermudes

loved accomodation and where it was, couldn't be better. erin was perfect and helped us with all details. i would recommend to anyone. max de rosa
(Property ref: YPAR15 May 2011) 


Erin was fantastic. Everything as described. Would definitely recommend. Chris de La Torre
(Property ref: YPAR15 May 2011) 


We were greeted at the apartment and given a basket of "goodies" for breakfast snacks, coffee, tea, etc. Very handy! The neighborhood was explained and a list of restaurants, entertainment venues, and even the location of the nearest hospital and pharmacy in case of emergency. Looks like you thought of everything, including subway, train, and taxi info.

Even the photo out of the window was totally accurate!

There is no way 2 couples could have stayed in a hotel anywhere near the wonderful location we enjoyed right there across the street from Battery Park for the price. I checked it out, and we would have spent almost twice the money, not had the "comforts of home" and would have missed the excellent views and fellowship we enjoyed on the roof top patio.

There is no way we could see all of Mahattan in the 5 days we were there, so we will definitely be returning in a year or two to expand our New York experience. I will plan our entire trip around the availability of this very apartment because I know it is just perfect!

Our meeter, Erin, was very kind and explained us all we need, and more. Also, there was a little problem that she solved very quickly. Miss Erin Mara is very kind and your company is very reliable. Be sure we will contact you in our next trip, probably next year, in any of the cities you rent properties. All the best for you all. Oscar.- OSCAR SCHEINFELD

It had a lovely view and was easily accessible on the subway. Michele Yonson
(Property ref: YWES1.2 January 2011) 


We had a great time in New York thanks to your organisation. It took a lot of the worry out of landing in a big new city. The apartment was exactly as promised and everyone was extremely helpful. Special thanks to Erin Mara for her professionalism in dealing with us. Her prompt reply to our emails was much appreciated. Gavin Trundle
(Property ref: YE40305 December 2010) 


The property was amazing...even better than I expected! Loved the place! It was my first time in NYC and I couldn't have asked for anything better. Great location, plenty of space, comfortable and cool design. I would definitely stay there again! Sarah
(Property ref: YE2910 October 2010) 


Erin was wonderful and had so much information on the area we were staying in. She's great. Thank fully she was so thourough that we didn't need to bother her during our stay. Great apartment for the price. Miriam Garcia
(Property ref: YCHR123 October 2010) 


As overseas visitors from Australia we found Erin to be one of the only rental representatives to reply promptly. Very helpful with finding an available property which was right for our budget and needs and ensured we had a great stay in NYC. Thanks Erin. Peita Diamantidis
(Property ref: YE29143.2 October 2010) 


We considered the flat better than it shows in the web site. The pictures don't helped to show how it is agreable. The apartament is nice, well decorated, very confortablewith amazing views from the windows . The location allow easy access through metro or bus and good walks around to Batery area. We really appreciated the helpful support of the agency. Mara Abel
(Property ref: YPAR15 September 2010) 


Our Meeter/Greeter was waiting for us when we arrived. Very personable and helpful. The apartment matched the description and exceeded out expectations. We loved the location and were close to subway stops and bus stops. Everything was within walking distance. Excellent value! Anyone planning on visiting NYC should consider renting an apartment. This was our 6th trip and the first time we stayed in an apartment. We found the extra space and kitchen to be just what we needed. Much nicer than any of the expensive hotels. We will definitely be doing this in the future. Jan
(Property ref: YE29143.2 September 2010) 


Erin was very helpful and friendly. her advice and additional suggestions in the welcome pack were all wonderful and made for a great start to our vacation in New York.

The apartment was actually better than it appeared on the website. We couldn't believe how light and airy it is and what amazing views!

Given the location, condition and amenity of this apartment we considered it to be great value for money.

I would recommend anyone to use Coach House Rentals when looking for accommodation in New York. They are friendly, helpful and reliable and, most importantly, the apartments meet the expectation created by the website description. David Helms

(Property ref: YPAR15 September 2010) 


After staying in vacation rentals in several cities in Europe and the US, we realize that it's not only the apartment, but the rental company that makes the stay. Traveling is stressful enough, and flying in to a city and knowing that someone is going to be at the airport and the apartment to meet you, makes a huge difference. Coach House Rentals has proven their reliability with us and we will use them whenever we can. Joseph Perdigao
(Property ref: YE46225 September 2010) 


The apartment was beautiful and in a great location. Staff was pleasant and very helpful. I've recommended the service to friends and colleagues and would definitely use it again. It was so much nicer than staying in a hotel! karen stevens
(Property ref: YE2910 September 2010) 


My wife met your representative, Erin, and she said she was a real "sweetheart" and offered loads of local info.

What a view from the apartment, and the rooftop has to have one of the best views in NYC. (I'm a view kind of guy.)

We were traveling with another couple, and renting an apartment is definitely the way to go: less expensive and way more fun than a hotel.

We've rented apartments in NYC, London, Paris, and San Francisco, and in each instance found it much better than a hotel. You obviously have more space, and it's much more comfortable, but more important, you're living like the locals--even down to doing a little grocery shopping. It's just way more fun!

We are frequent visitors to NY City. We usually stay in hotels and were a bit apprehensive about staying in an apartment sight unseen. However, the apartment was wonderful, much better than staying in a hotel. It was great to have a real kitchen, and a whole lot more space - a hotel room get cramped after 5 days. jacqueline barnes

CHS deliver a first rate service. Friendly, accommodating and willing to help with any questions. Vinny Moorby
(Property ref: YW10530.2 April 2010) 


Erin was just fantastic greating us with a warm welcome and a superb introduction related to the apartment leaving us with no doubts. She even had a beautifull bunch of flowers for my wife and a punnet of straberrys!

We will sure recommend your company to others and use you again.

Given that there are a lot of scams in the apartment rental business I was very pleased to find Coach House Rentals the real thing. They provide an excellent and reliable service giving the tourist the option to have a genuine local apartment experience in a big city like new york. Thanks - Jenny, Melbourne, Australia.

This property was ideally located in Mid-Town. Great for the long Easter weekend that we spent in NY. Clean, tidy and well appointed. Steve Hamilton

YELD249 might be a little to small to house 7 people. Your service was exellent. Erin did a wonderfull job. Send her my appriciation and thank her once again. Birgitte Drud
(Property ref: YE10223 and YELD 249 March 2010) 


Erin, your New York rep, is one of the best, that's for sure! Very friendly, very efficient, she is exceptionnal!

Thank you for everything thanks to you we had a wonderful stay in New York! I will definitely use CHS rentals in the future!

The Coach House Rentals team provided excellent service and was responsive from beginning to end. I've never rented an apartment for a vacation before so was a little hesitant but I have no regrets and, in fact, will seek Coach House Rentals out next time I visit NYC. Marilyn Larsen
(Property ref: YE10223 December 2009) 


It looked better in real life than on the website; the photos are particularly bad quality, it has to be said. The apartment worked well for our family holiday in NYC. It is in a good, safe area, handy for uptown and downtown sights, good for transport, restaurants, laundry etc. Would use CHS again, and would recommend to friends travelling. Kate Leavey
(Property ref: YE29143 December 2009) 


$250 per night for a 1 bedroom in the heart of NYC - WOW!!!!!

I couldn't have been happier wtih YW55230 for our 6 night Holiday stay in the Big Apple. Our family of 3 had plenty of space -- WAY more than in a hotel room -- and having a kitchen allowed us to cook our own breakfasts and keep our champagne nicely chilled for New Year's Eve!

The location could not be beat -- 55th and Broadway is an easy walk to theaters, tourist attractions and subway stops for several lines are within a couple of blocks. The E line only 2 blocks away made it very easy to get to and from JFK.

We would definitely use Coach House in the future to find accommodations in NYC, London or Paris, and would stay at YW55230 again in a New York minute!

We can not believe the helpfulness, friendliness & all over fabulousness of your service. Both Erin (who unfortunately we did not get to meet) & Heidi were wonderful. It was just like arriving at a freinds house to stay.

Having travelled to New York previously (without a child) we knew that a hotel would not be the right choice this time. Having looked through many websites for apartments it was fantastic to find yours. We knew right away that this was where we wanted to spend our Christmas Holiday. From the initial contact until arriving home everything to do with Coach House Rentals has been faultless. Whether dealing with those in your London office or New York everyone has been so helpful. We felt like we were going to stay with friends. The added extras, Travel cot & highchair, welcome pack & meet & greet made things much easier.

We are telling everyone about you and will hopefully be back ourselves sometime in the future. Thank you so much for everything.

Very nice appartment in a very interesting and busy neighbourhood. We easily felt like we were living there 'for true'. Philippe Grondier
(Property ref: YCHR123 December 2009) 


Very appealing, well equipped apartment. Nice location: views of sunrise over the east river, walking distance to mid-town locations (but 3 blocks to the nearest Subway). Plenty of restaurants and shops in the neighbourhood. Opher Gileadi
(Property ref: YSEC470 December 2009) 


Excellent service. We particularly appreciated Erin's help on the arrival day when all the flights were delayed, due to the weather. We ran into 'technical' difficulties because the blackberry, the cell-phones, all our usual contact technology died on arrival in NYC - but she still managed to help us.

For anyone else who is interested, the apartment is in an excellent location to get around, and the balcony is super - my daughter could see the hospital she was born in!!

We're definitely fans of your company now, having tried it for the first time.

Regards, Jennie Frow

(Property ref: YSEC470 October 2009) 


We thank Erin very much for all her assistance prior to our arrival and during out stay.

The web site was very accurate, but the property was even a little nicer on arrival. The location was terrific, and feeling like we were living in a 'home away from home' was great. A hotel would have cost us a lot more and be much more impersonal.

We would certainly recommend Coach House Rentals. It was definately a case of 'Live like a New Yorker'. The information on the web site was accurate and the information re location, facilities etc was very helpfull. It was our first time to New York and being met by their representative on arrival was terrific. We will definately use Coach House again and recommend them to our friends.

Frank and Maggie Ferrero

(Property ref: YW55230 September 2009) 


Erin was extremely friendly and helpful.Nothing seemed to be a problem for her even when we asked her advice on shops etc, things that were not part of her job.

Booking from the internet is a little daunting but everything was identical to the photos on your website.

The only negative comment we have to make is a little one in that the sofa bed in the other bedroom was very hard. (But I guess that is our opinion).

The apartment was spotlessly clean,just as on your website.The location was tremendous and the views from the rooftop were amazing.Even little things like having an overseas adaptor was very thoughtful and appreciated.

Being in a strange country and knowing we had a contact like Erin also made you feel very comfortable.

The best thing about renting through CH Rentals is (i) you know that you will get a nice place and (ii) the description on the website will be accurate. Also for CHS NYC Rentals -- Erin Mara is fabulous -- a real help and a charming greeter/organizer! Rebecca Cowdery

We hadn't met before but Erin was so nice and helpful that it was as if we were her friends rather than clients! Encarni de la Arada
(Property ref: YW55230 August 2009) 


If you want good value for your money, this might be it. We couldn't think of a better location/apartment in New York. If we come to New York a 2nd time (which we will) we will definitely book with CoachHouse Rentals and, almost certain, book YE 10223 again! Ernst & Anita
(Property ref: YE10223 July 2009) 


We were victims of a scam on CraigsList and lost $2000. It was a refreshing change to deal with such a professional team. Email responses were prompt and you did everything you said you would do. Erin was lovely and made us feel welcome immediately. Rebecca Walker
(Property ref: YREC380 June 2009) 


Erin was very helpful even at 11pm in the evening and gave us a great welcome Bathroom a bit scruffy - but I know that Americans don't do bathrooms. Otherwise ok Very good - overall a very good package with just a few niggles as described above to prevent a top score As above Richard Andrews
(Property ref: YW55230 June 2009) 


It was worth every cent. The flat was astounding and the price affordable. It was like living in the movies and without spending a fortune. Marco Brambilla
(Property ref: YREC380 May 2009) 


Erin met with the other couple we were staying with as they arrived before us but the feedback was excellent. the information she gave us was invaluable and, because of this, we didn't need to call her again. she was extremely friendly and helpful at all encounters and nothing seemed like any trouble.

It was exactly as described, if anything, the description and pics don't do it justice. this apt was an excellent location and probably that could be elaborated on more ie proximity to shopping, etc...

I can't speak highly enough about this property and experience. we are definitely telling all our friends about it and recommending it. we will definitely come back and book this apt or through this service again.

Having never booked an apt rental for a vacation before I wasn't sure of what to expect. well, I certainly wasn't disappointed!! We had the best time ever and a part of that was the excellent accommodation, location of accommodation and service we rec'd from Coach House Rentals.

The apt itself was amazing, plenty of room for two adult couples and beautifully appointed. I really don't think you could get a better location! It was central to most areas of the island and cabs right outside of the building made it simple to go anywhere. the location to Macy's, 34th st W (shopping), 5th Ave (shopping)was fantastic! Walking was so easy, before you knew it you had gone 20 blocks!! Thanks for everything, and esp Erin for your wonderful, cheerful service!!!!

We loved the place. If we could give it a score more than a 5 we would. The apartment was gorgeous, the building beautiful, and the location supreme. The only minuses were that the beds were small (both doubles).

We spent about as much as we would have for a hotel but the apartment was so much nicer. I would definitely stay there again, if we could convince the owner to vacate on the necessary dates.

(Property ref: YE2910 April 2009) 


We really enjoyed this apartment. It was cosy, stylish and beautifully fitted out. We also think the location was great - close to not only the 5th Avenue shops, but also the Empire State Building, Madison Park and Bryant Park.

Erin Mara was most helpful even before we reached NYC. She also arranged for a car to transport two of our party to LaGuardia on their departure day, which was so appreciated. She was delightful.

We were extremely pleased with the service we received from Coach House in London and in NYC. The unit, welcome pack, and our meeter/greeter more than met our expectations. We had a most enjoyable and very comfortable stay in NYC. We will definitely use Coach House in our future travels.

PEG and JIM DAWSON

(Property ref: YE2910 October 2008) 


5+++ service. Erin goes the extra mile, her friendliness and enthusiasm was well received. The apartment was exactly as described, it far exceeded our expectations.

Four of us stayed in this 2 bedroom apartment for one week in Oct 08. It was well decorated, comfortable, and quiet. Extremely clean. We would highly recommend. Very good location for subway and buses.

Derdri Wren

(Property ref: YE2910 October 2008) 


Erin was excellent. Very friendly, upbeat and helpful. We really appreciated the "extras" -- breakfast basket, flowers, info on the neighbourhood restaurants, subway map.

From booking to departure, Coach House Rentals was very efficient and professional. We will definitely book with Coach House Rentals again. Thanks to Angela and Erin for making our stay in New York so enjoyable.
