    My mom and I stayed 5 nights in Apartment 5 at Country Inn The City and loved it! It's in a great location on the Upper West Side and having the kitchen was a real bonus. There's a market just around the corner where you can buy nearly anything you need during your stay and it was nice to have coffee and a light breakfast in the room before heading out for the day. We enjoyed having the setting area to watch TV and relax after coming back from a long day in the city. Rob keeps the place immaculate. The bathroom was the cleanest I've ever seen for a Hotel or Inn. The rooms are very well furnished and so cozy. It feels like you're a guest in someone's home. Very unlike anything else we've ever stayed in while visiting NYC. We will definitely stay here again!

    Country Inn the City is a great place to stay if you want to pretend you are really living in NYC and not just another tourist! Apartment 6 with its outdoor terrace is cosy, charming & spacious with a kitchen and very comfortable bed with a firm & supportive mattress. I'll definitely be staying here again.

    Country Inn the City is beautifully located in the southern part of the Upper West Side, two blocks from Zabar's for the best deli food in New York, one block from the Riverside Park, five minutes walk from Central Park. It is not a hotel but a fine old nineteenth-century house with a small number of rooms. We were in Apartment 5, a spacious room with a very comfortable bed, good sitting area, excellently-equipped kitchen, and an en-suite bathroom that may not have been of smart hotel standard but was clean and efficient, with an excellent shower. There aren't the normal hotel services but Rob, the on-site person responsible, was friendly and helpful and responded quickly when any problems arose. The sitting area and kitchen make it a great place to stay. We could buy bagels round the corner and have breakfast in the apartment, and buy really good food from Zabar's for an occasional dinner in. And Upper West Side is our favourite part of NYC to stay - after a hectic day further south in Manhattan one can return to the calm of UWS, with its good restaurants, bookshops, delis and parks. Yet it is only 10 minutes on the subway from midtown or Chelsea, or longer if one walks and enjoys the changing urban neighbourhoods. This was our first stay in Country Inn the City but it will now be our number one choice whenever we come to NYC. A great, comfortable and relaxing place to stay.

    We spent four days in Country Inn the City and were very pleased with everything: location, apartment, equipment, and staff. We would recommend the B&B to everyone who looks for a charming place to stay and appreciate being able to make his/her own breakfast and perhaps other meals.
