What is let
Each apartment is a self-contained home with its own kitchen, its own bathroom and its own front door. Booked separately, they are three private apartments in a shared building — not the whole house, and not a private garden.
The garden apartment, the parlour apartment and the loft apartment are three floors of the same restored house rather than three separate addresses. Each one is complete on its own — its own kitchen, its own bathroom, its own front door and its own key code — and each one can be booked on its own, for as few as its own minimum stay. What a night in any one of them also does, because it is the same building, is take the whole house off the calendar for that night. The diagram below is the whole argument in one picture.
An apartment is not the house. An apartment booking is a private apartment, not a private house: the other two apartments may be let on the same nights, and the garden, the stoop and the stair are shared. The whole-house let is the one that takes the building off sale.
At a glance
Every card links to that apartment's own page, with its own room-by-room description, its own specification table and a worked example of what a stay actually costs.
Garden level
The garden level of the house, and the only apartment you can walk into from the garden without meeting a stair. Two bedrooms, a kitchen that opens onto the sitting room, and a door onto the terrace that people leave open from May until October.
$185 a night from · plus a $95 cleaning fee, once
Parlour floor
The front rooms of the original house, with the bay window, the twelve-foot ceiling and the plaster cornice that the restoration kept. It is the largest of the three and the one people book when they want the house to look like the photographs.
$205 a night from · plus a $105 cleaning fee, once
Top floor
The top of the house, under the roof, with skylights on both slopes and a mezzanine over the sitting room. It is the smallest and the cheapest and it has the best light in the building from about four in the afternoon.
$165 a night from · plus a $85 cleaning fee, once
Compared
Five things that actually decide which apartment suits a given trip, in the order they usually turn out to matter. Budget is last on purpose — it is real, but it is rarely the thing that should decide it.
| By use | Garden | Parlour | Loft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stairs | Three steps down from the pavement to the door. Level inside once you are in. | Five steps up the stoop from the pavement, then level. No lift. | Five steps up the stoop and two flights of internal stairs. The second flight is steep and turns. |
| Light | Level with the garden, windows on the garden side only | Bay window to the street, twelve-foot ceilings | Skylights on both slopes, roofline view to the west |
| Noise | The window onto the terrace means the garden is audible from the sitting room whenever anybody is using it | The bay window is single-glazed on the inner sash, because the restoration kept the original frames — the front bedroom hears Roosevelt Avenue | The quietest apartment in the house — it faces the roofline rather than the avenue |
| Cooking | The everyday one, and the one a caterer uses as the cold side. | The one that makes a whole-house let work. | Small, and honestly described as small. |
| Budget | $185 a night, plus a $95 cleaning fee once per stay | $205 a night, plus a $105 cleaning fee once per stay | $165 a night, plus a $85 cleaning fee once per stay |
The price on the screen is the price. Every rate on this site is per night for the whole apartment, and the cleaning fee is printed beside it. The cleaning fee is charged once for a stay of any length. There is no resort fee, no service charge and no tax added at the end.
The honest answer
Almost never the cheapest one on its own — the right apartment is the one whose stairs, light and kitchen match how the trip actually works.
If the group does not fit inside one apartment, or if being under one roof together is the point of the weekend rather than a side effect of it, none of the three above is the right comparison. The whole house is a different product with its own page: the internal doors unlock, both kitchens work together, and the garden goes to one party rather than being shared between three.
The calendar is live. It shows what is free, it will not sell the same night twice, and it prints the whole total — cleaning fee included — before it asks for a name.
