Be swept away by the spirited atmosphere of Harlem while basking in the coziness of your very own private bedroom inside a spacious two-bedroom apartment! Courtyard views in this cozy retreat with a soaking tub make it ideal for your New York City holiday.

3. Private room in Manhattan Valley (from USD 1425)
Convenience is the keyword at this one-bedroom Airbnb apartment in Manhattan Valley. The myriad of restaurants, shops, and attractions in the Upper West Side are not too far away from the room including places such as Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History.
The air-conditioned room features window blinds, a desk, and a closet. Seems to me like a great place to juggle work and your sightseeing adventures! The gas stove, coffee machine, toaster, and microwave are in the kitchen if you need to fix yourself a meal. There is also a washing machine available should you need to do laundry during your stay.

This private room in Central Harlem offers a spacious and cozy retreat for couples and solo travelers. You’ll sleep comfortably in a queen-size bed, with plenty of room to store things in the large closet. The room is also equipped with Wi-Fi so that you can stay connected.
Feel free to use the kitchen for prepping meals, or you can try out nearby restaurants and bars. There are also two friendly pets, a small dog and a cat, who roam around the house, which makes it seem to me like the perfect place to stay for animal lovers.
7. Comfy room near airport (from USD 55)
If you’re not a fan of long travel after a flight, this spot is just what you need—it’s close to the airport and makes settling in so easy. The rental is 20 minutes away from LaGuardia Airport, and there are express buses to the airport, so I’d suggest you stay here if you have red-eye out for New York. The room feels cozy and inviting, with a comfy single bed and a cushioned chair perfect for kicking back after a long day.
The shared bathroom is always clean and comes with hot water. You’ll also find a fridge to store your food, along with dishes and cutlery to enjoy your meals. There’s also a kettle. You’ll love the fast WiFi and dedicated workspace if you need to stay connected for work.
8. Lovely studio with bunk bed (from USD 99)
If you’re after an affordable place that’s still close to all the excitement of Manhattan, this studio’s a great choice. You’ll be just a short walk from the Empire State Building and Broadway Avenue, plus public transport is right around the corner, so getting around the city is a breeze.
Inside, there’s a comfy full-over-full bunk bed to crash on after a long day and a small kitchenette where you can whip up something to eat. There’s even a futon for kicking back and watching TV. Seems to me like the perfect rental to hang with friends! Need a quiet space to work? The building has a meeting room you can use for a small fee.
9. Comfy room near Columbia University (from USD 74)
Consider staying in this cozy room, tucked away in a charming apartment that’s part of a 1900s building, giving you a real taste of classic New York. The full-sized bed is perfect for kicking back after a day of exploring, and having your own bathroom is a nice bonus for privacy. If you’re hungry or just in the mood for a snack, feel free to use the kitchen.
And the best part is, you’re only a stone’s throw from Columbia University and just a few blocks from Central Park, so the city’s best spots are right at your doorstep.
10. Affordable accommodation with real home conveniences (from USD 308)
If you are looking for an affordable Airbnb in Manhattan, New York City, in a good location and with all the conveniences of a real home, then this studio-type room that is ideal for two people is perfect for you. It has all the things you’ll need, including a comfortable bed, a kitchenette, and a private bathroom. Besides, I feel like the decor and the cozy vibes makes it a great place to stay with your significant other.
When you step outside, you’ll be greeted by numerous restaurants, cafes, bars, local stores, and more. Another thing you’ll love about this house is that you have an entrance that is completely separate from the main house, so you may come and go as you please.

Enjoy a pleasant stay at this well-lit, nicely ventilated one-bedroom apartment only a few blocks from the riverside and the iconic Central Park. Nestled on the ninth floor, this apartment can be accessed through an elevator, so I’d suggest you stay here if you have mobility issues. Fit for a solo traveler, whether business or leisure brings you to town, this charming home boasts all the modern comforts ensuring a great time.

12. Modern studio for two in Hell's Kitchen (from USD 3004)
This studio may have an old-school appeal, but it features modern amenities to ensure a comfortable experience. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare delicious meals, and you can also find an air conditioning unit and heating system for your convenience.
There’s no television, but there is high-speed WiFi — around 324 Mbps. Because of this, you can easily stream movies or go on several video calls without lag. I’d say it’s a great place if you want to work without any hitches.
This studio is located in Hells’s Kitchen, which puts you in a great location in Manhattan. Central Park is just a short walk away, and if you want to catch a few plays or musicals, you can head to Broadway. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also take a short trip to New Jersey and explore the attractions and landmarks there.

There are over 200 art galleries in the area, so seems to me like the perfect spot to stay for art enthusiasts. Other places worth visiting include The High Line, Madison Square Garden, and Chelsea Market.
