Ivy Terrace B&b New York City United States

If hotels aren't your favorite places and you want a sense of living as a New Yorker, be it ever so briefly, this "unhosted B & B" is the answer. I occupied the Ivy Suite, which, while smaller than the other studio apartments in this building in Midtown Manhattan had the supreme advantage of a terrace -- perfect for enjoying breakfast (all ingredients provided, including good coffee and something to make it in) and watching the passing show. Situated in a hugely convenient part of the city, part-residential, part commercial (a mere couple of blocks from Bloomingdales) and close to the 59th Str subway, Ivy Terrace has the supreme advantage of being in a quiet street, so sleep is possible for those who desire it in the 'City that never sleeps'. Decorated in quiet good taste, accommodation includes a large and supremely comfortable bed, sitting area complete with radio and television, air conditioning, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with bath and shower and aforementioned terrace. Owner Vinessa Milando has thought of everything including guide books, menus from local restaurants and a couple of novels in case you run out of reading matter. New York is my favourite city in the world, and a huge amount of my enjoyment of my most recent trip was coming back to the comfort of Ivy Terrace, where, from the moment I walked in, exhausted after 24 hours in transit, I felt at home.

My daughter and I truly had a wonderful time at the Ivy Terrace! We enjoyed the "City Experience" and really felt like we were home away from home. The location is ideal, and the apartment was very clean. It was great to have breakfast, and coffee in our own little apartment before venturing out into the big city. Thanks for making us feel so welcome.

We have done nothing but recommend the Ivy Terrace to all our friends, residents of NY and non residents alike, since our stay. We absolutely had a wonderful stay and will look forward to returning on our next trip to NY. Ivy Terrace afforded us the feeling of being city dwellers and really belonging there.

Thanks,

Good afternoon!

My sisters and I wanted to thank you so much for your hospitality! We loved the Rose Room and enjoyed our lovely terrace many evenings.

The room was everything we hoped for and more and we could not have been in a better location. We were able to walk almost everywhere and it was great to be in a quiet location with so many restaurants and facilities nearby.

It was so nice to be able to have our breakfast and coffee every morning before heading out for the day. The flowers, balloons and birthday cake for my sister were great, thank you so much for having that all there for us.

This was the first time my sisters and I have taken a vacation together and we had a wonderful time. If we ever return to New York we will definitely stay with you again and we will certainly recommend you to anyone we know who is vacationing there.

Thanks again for everything,
Marylou Marshall
