I am an artist who recently stayed in New York at 1871 House for two months during the run of a solo exhibition in Chelsea.
With two subway stations within a short one or two block distance, the location was incredibly convenient and made getting around NY very easy. With the Upper East Side being a somewhat quiet area in comparison to other areas I have stayed, I never experienced loud noises that might affect sleep during the night. There are many good restaurants and grocery stores very close by. As a woman alone in Manhattan, I always felt safe in the area and the house.
The hosts of 1871 House are lovely people, very friendly and helpful. Though they live on the main floor of the house, I rarely saw them, unless we made arrangements to meet. Any questions I had were answered promptly by email. The whole house is very quiet and only once ran into other tenants in the hall.
I stayed in two suites- the front parlour and the rear library. Both were very comfortable for an extended stay with kitchen facilities, sitting and work areas. Both suites have big windows with lots of light and high ceilings, making it feel quite spacious.Decor is very fitting for the time period of the house. Housekeeping came once a week, arranged at my convenience.
I highly recommend an extended stay at 1871 House. Great landlords, great brownstone, great area, and the best deal in Manhattan!
