Apartment vacation rentals in Governors Island

Probably the best experience i’ve had with renting an air bnb. Marcell was patient, kind, and an attentive host. The location was perfect- walking distance from small grocery marts, coffee shops, and the metro to get to NYC. I was in town for a concert & it was a quick uber ride to Metlife stadium, even in rainy and high traffic time. Check-in instructions were organized well, clear, direct. Safety concern: Host owns more than one unit in building & upon arrival I went to the wrong unit. I was able to access it with the provided instructions & quickly realized i was on the wrong place after being met with someone else’s belongings. Multiple units having the same code to access the door’s key fobs is extremely concerning, especially if these codes aren’t being changed after each guest. This was addressed with the Host & my concerns were heard and taken seriously. I was assured it would be addressed and resolved.

Had a great experience staying at Jakir’s place. Apartment was beautiful and spotless. Franklin street is filled with restaurants and bars. Remember to bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Otherwise, could not have asked for a better stay. Will recommend this place to visiting friends!

When the first part of our group arrived the place was not cleaned due to a miscommunication with the cleaner, but Jou was reaponsive and the place was cleaned thoroughly. The space is large and comfortable. On Friday nights and weekends there is more noise, but otherwise very quiet and safe. There is one bathroom and surprisingly we were able to manage with a group of 8. Most of the day we were out in NYC because the PATH train station is walking distance away (easy enough for six year old legs so you can do it). I would recommend this home to families.

Risha’s place was great for our long weekend in Brooklyn visiting family. Risha and Josef were very friendly and helpful hosts. It’s a cozy space with the only sitting area being at the kitchen table, but that was fine as we came to NY to explore. The bed is comfy, and the view of the back courtyard is pleasant. Bathing in the clawfoot tub in the kitchen, rather than a typical shower made for a unique experience. Red Hook is an interesting neighborhood with a number of restaurants and breweries and easy access to Manhattan via the ferry. The Food Bazaar store is an easy walk if you need groceries and they have everything!

I feel so lucky to find Andrew/Adriana’s for my stay in Brooklyn! Hosts are very responsive and I really loved the room. It is spacious, cozy and even more well decorated than pictures. Many things that guests (might) need are there and you’d notice right away how experienced and considerate the hosts are! Adriana is so knowledgeable about the neighborhood and I wish I had more time to explore options in the guidebook. It is not right next to tourist places but I loved the chance to look around the neighborhood and there are a lot of good places in walkable distance. And if you are using public transportation, it is so close from station and easy to find! If you have too many late night schedules, then it might not be the best place as the neighborhood is pretty quite but for that reason it was the best place to take quiet rest when you come back from schedule. Highly recommend for those looking for cozy space in this area! Thanks so much Adriana/Andrew:)

Nice place , peaceful neighborhood and close to the metro

The apartment is better in person than the photos. Gorgeous panoramic views of the city. Very comfortable primary bedroom and an old-school pull out in the living room (where my son slept). The apartment was quiet and very clean. Steven was very good at communicating and got back to me right away with any concerns. The apartment is located in Midtown and the area felt safe. I highly recommend Steven’s apartment, especially if you are looking for a room with a view and an excellent host.

The Blue Moon was a real treat, an architectural gem with deep local family roots. It was named one of National Geographic Traveler’s “150 Hotels in the Western Hemisphere to Check Into” and featured in Rizzoli’s Best 100 Little Hotels. The team made our stay even better with their warm hospitality and seamless transportation to and from the airport. Bram, the owner, was the highlight. He’s not just running a hotel, he’s preserving a piece of New York history. Bram personally restored the building, blending original details with his own artistic vision. His artwork lines the walls, and his stories, about the neighborhood, the building, and his family, bring the place to life. You can tell he’s poured his soul into every corner of the Blue Moon. The hotel offers great views and a prime location, just steps from SoHo, Chinatown, and downtown. If you get the chance to stay at the Blue Moon, don’t pass it up.

Fidel’s place was fantastic! He was a wonderful host, going above and beyond by treating our family to breakfast one morning and even surprising us with some goodies. The property itself is lovely, with a peaceful atmosphere and a great BBQ area, which we really enjoyed using. Overall, a great stay – highly recommended!

We had a comfortable stay at Alex's place for 2 nights . The staircase is steep with 13 steps in case you are accompanied by elders . There's no Washing machine , dryyer , dishwasher , weighing scale to weigh luggage if you are headed to Airport All this is mentioned in the instructions Thanks Alex

Amazing location, easily walkable to so many restaurants and right next to Lincoln Park. Perfect amount of space that has everything you would need. The active birdbath in the backyard was a nice touch for a city stay. Samantha was very helpful in allowing us to park in driveway.

Perfect apartment, really good option for people who want to travel to Manhattan, really easy access with PATH train. The area is super nice and green, really good places if you’re traveling with kids. The host is amazing! Super helpful and very kind. Apartment is very clean, everything like on the picture. The area is so clean, pleasant. Many places for walk, shops, park, it is easy to park the car. This place is literally perfect! Truly recommend this apartment, we loved it ❤️

This was a true gem and we hope to come back! Had a great stay with our toddler. Excellent communication and accurate description.

Wow! This was our favorite stay in Brooklyn ever. Yang and Su went above and beyond — they were flexible with check in and the place had incredible amenities. They thought of everything — from games, beverages and snacks to house slippers and phone chargers. We gel right at home and didn’t want to leave. We both felt relaxed and peaceful as well as right in the midst of everything in Park Slope, close to Prospect Park and subway. We’ll definitely stay again when we’re in BK!

Absolutely beautiful apartment, on entry the apartment smelt beautiful, with fresh Lilies in the main living room area and in one of the bedrooms. Spotless apartment and exactly like the photos, great attention to detail and eco friendly! great neighborhood suggestions and so very responsive to any questions, very quiet building and quiet apartment in general. Dominik also reached out a week before us arriving which was very thoughtful! would definitely recommend and go back and stay! we both had lived in NY many years ago so it was lovely to be in a familiar neighborhood and see how things had changed.

Great place!! Stayed 5 nights with my adult daughter as she was starting a summer job nearby. The apartment fully matched the description, was clean & comfortable, & the main room was more spacious than expected. From start to finish, Andrea provided such helpful details about everything, and was friendly and responsive. It was so great that things like coffee filters, sugar, dish soap, canola oil, paper towels etc. were already provided to make settling in so much easier! Neighborhood felt safe & walkable: we walked to a great dinner at Thai Plates & to pick up groceries. Also cooked several meals during our stay with the nice gas stovetop & oven. Parking the car wasn't super-difficult, either: the farthest we had to go was about 2 blocks away to park overnight. We did not go into NYC from here, but agree it would be a good base for this. Do not hesitate to stay here!

An excellent place to stay in Harlem, centrally located near the 125th street subway station. You can easily get anywhere you want to go quick and easy. Lots of good restaurants nearby, along with bodegas and a (albeit expensive) grocery store. Its nice that the owners live on site, and they were very helpful and friendly. Having a big tub with jets in the room is a huge bonus if you aren't used to the amount of walking you are in for in NY. I'll definitely be back!

Everything about this apartment was excellent. Locale, layout, spotless. Couldn't get enough of both the daytime and nighttime views. Steven was an excellent host. Communicative, answered my myriad of questions, provided recommendations for a great nearby grocery and wine store that we frequented several times. Easy to get a taxi and a short walk to the subway. Started to feel like a local after just a day or so! This will for sure be our go-to place next time we visit NYC.

Caesar was very friendly and responsive. He kept a clean place, and we really enjoyed our stay. I would recommend Caesar for your AirBnb needs in the NYC Area. Thanks again!

Nicely renovated basement apartment. Ben was a wonderful host and made our stay comfortable. Kitchen had everything that we needed and having a designated parking spot was great. It is a short walk away from the apartment. Backyard was ideal has we were traveling with our dog. Location was perfect for our event at Liberty State Park. Would recommend if you plan to visit Jersey City.

Wonderful place,enjoyed my stay

Ed was very easy to communicate with, we had questions or wanted clarification and he was fast to respond in a very friendly and welcoming manner. This place was super clean, and comfortable.

My sister and I had a short overnight stay and we absolutely loved it! It’s such a cute place. It was just as described and perfect for the night. The host was very quick and responsive to our inquiries. The building is very easy to find and we felt safe with security in the building. The neighborhood is nice. The day of check out we walked around and ate at a local restaurants. We definitely will be back and recommend!

The view is priceless. By day, by night, anytime. The apartment itself is great, too: spacious, well furnished, a huge kitchen, perfectly equipped. Less than 20 minutes by bus to Times Square, but located in a calm and safe neighborhood across the Hudson River. For some, the steps up to the fifth floor might be an impediment, but that’s really the only issue I could think of. Absolute recommendation!
