New York, New York
Be prepared to have your most extraordinary New York experience in this magnificent, luxuious townhouse in the Historic East Village! What once was one of the city's last tenement Shuls is now an impeccably-redesigned landmarked building, artfully transformed in 2005 by world-famous designers from the Ian Shrager Hotels. Featured in Architectural Record and other press, and enjoyed by the likes of entertainment figures, athletes, rock stars, executives and politicians, this absolutely exquisite 3/4 bedroom, 2.5 bath fourplex is a rare and coveted gem.
Elegance, top to bottom.

One of the especially unique features are the custom-made windows that are exact replicas from when the building was a synagogue (including the Star of David!)

We had such an amazing time staying at this beautiful home in Alphabet City! House was clean and staff incredibly helpful. Martin was a delightful host and answered all our questions before and during our stay. We will book again ! Thank you, Martin!!
I love Martin the owner! I have rented several properties on homeaway.com, and this is by far the best home we ever rented! The house is clean, Modern, and every room is just amazing! The layout is perfect for groups, and its a great place for families! The design, the location, the owner, and the Kitchen is everything you could want in the perfect NYC stay!
The townhouse offered more than enough room and luxurious comforts for our group of four. Although we ate pretty much every meal out (there are many good walking-distance dining options nearby), the kitchen provides plenty of prep and spread-out space. Baths are first rate and beds very comfortable. We enjoyed the neighborhood, which provided lots to see while walking around, but was calm and peaceful in the evenings. Martin, Anton, and Rosa were a pleasure to work with; we’d gladly return!
Martin and Anton both were easy to work with- the house was great for our group of 10. The location was great, a little far from subway station but not bad at all (10-15 min walk). We have stayed in midtown but wanted a neighborhood feel and this was exactly that. We felt safe with teenage girls walking around alone. Great restaurants in the area. Overall this provided us a great “home base” for our time in NYC. If you are looking at this property- JUST DO IT!
Enjoyed our stay, place is roomy and elegant. Special thanks to the house manager who was around for all our needs almost instantly. Great hospitality!
Gorgeous home, even more dramatic than in the photos. Apartment was immaculate and very spacious. Quiet in bedrooms at night and comfortable bedding. Bathrooms were large and well stocked and had good water pressure. The hot tub worked well. Used office as fourth bedroom which was very comfortable and quiet. Hosted mother’s 79th birthday – kitchen/dinning level is incredible - great party space. The caretaker was very helpful. Highly recommend, can’t say enough about this place and looking forward to coming back!
The house has only 2 bathrooms and if you have guests staying in the 4 “bedrooms”. Then one guest has no bathroom. If that guest is staying in the converted office bedroom, they must go down 20 steps (& up), each time for the toilets. The house also has steep staircases that were a challenge for our elderly guests. On the other hand it’s an amazing house for entertaining. The first floor is very special and we loved the kitchen & diningroom areas. The house is very much “smart electric”, which made heating specific areas more difficult, and many of the appliances constantly beeped. We told the care taker about problems w the refrigerators, dishwashers & some appliances. The care taker Anton was very helpful is solving many of our problems. Overall, our objective was to spend time together as a family and we fulfilled that objective.
Absolutely loved this house. It is a truly stunning residence, and absolutely perfect for our weekend in the city. In a great location, close to restaurants and plenty to do. The house is fantastic. Wonderfully comfortable with plenty of space, and great architecture and design. Can't wait to head back, and cannot recommend it enough!
Perfect
The home is gorgeous and dramatic, clean and well kept, and very user friendly. Also, the assistance provided by the owner and the on-site caretaker was perfect: prompt, thorough, friendly, and flexible. If you want a great home for your new york stay, this is it!
