Situated on the same city block on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, our two apartment buildings are located at 1471 Second Avenue and 252 East 77th Street. The buildings are nearly identical, with Studios and 1-Bedroom apartments available at 1471 Second Avenue, and 1-Bedroom and 2-Bedroom apartments available at 252 East 77th Street. Our apartments are conveniently located just two blocks from the subway station in a wonderful world-class neighborhood with endless things to do, places to see and foods to eat.

Our management office is on the ground floor of the apartment building at 1471 Second Avenue. From here, we handle inquiries and bookings, and manage day-to-day operations. We spend a good portion of our time here, and there’s no place we’d rather be! Well, except for when we get hit with one of those infamous New York snow storms...then we’d rather be in Tahiti.

Monthly rates vary depending on the size of the apartment, current availability, length of stay and time of year. Please email us for up-to-date pricing. Average monthly rates are as follows:

1-Bedroom Studio: $3,000

1-Bedroom Suite: $3,500

2-Bedroom Suite: $4,400

All of our apartments can be rented for a minimum of 30 days. AFI Property Management offers flexible leases ranging from one month to one year.

All of our apartments feature flat screen TVs, satellite TV service, wireless internet access, fresh bed linens and bath towels, fully-equipped modern kitchens, coffeemakers, and irons with boards

First, send us an inquiry or contact us to find out about availability and pricing. Once you’re ready to book an apartment, we will send you a rental application, for you to fill it out and send it back to us along with Personal documentation such as Passport or ID so we can prepare the lease and send it over to you along with forms of payments. At least 24 hours prior to your arrival, we will send you the codes to enter the building andcode to enter the apartment so when you arrive here you can go in and make yourself at home. Throughout the entire process, a single member our team will be serving you so that things run smoothly.

We accept all major credit cards, cashier’s checks/bank checks, and electronic wire transfers. Fees may apply for certain payment methods.

Heat and hot water are inlcuded and unlimited. Our apartments are fitted with radiators and are heated using the New York City steam system.

We offer an allowance of $20 for utilitites which is Gas and Electricity. Tenants pays the remaining balance at the end of the stay.

We love kids (really, we do!), but not all of our apartments are suited for children. We think that families with kids will be most comfortable in our 2-bedroom units, some of which feature a kid-size Twin bed. Additionally, because the building does not have an elevator, strollers would have to be carried up the stairs. There is no place to store strollers on the ground level.

We are not a hotel, so regular housekeeping services are not offered. However, we can offer you cleaning services at an additional charge, which cost $125 to $175 per cleaning depending on the apartment size. The service is a full, thorough cleaning and includes laundering of your bed linens and towels.

The one-time cleaning fee is due upon move-in and covers the cost of cleaning and refurbishing the apartment after you leave. Cleaning fees vary according to apartment size. If you would like to have the apartment cleaned during your stay, we offer cleaning services at an additional charge.

Sorry, no dogs, cats, birds or any other non-human species allowed. Service animals may be accommodated, but documentation of disability & need for the animal must be provided ahead of your arrival.

Like many pre-war apartment buildings in New York City, our properties do not have on-site laundry facilities. In this city, you are considered a very lucky person if you have washing machines in the building where you live, let alone inside your apartment. That being said, this is just one of the many seemingly necessary/normal things that so many New Yorkers do without in exchange for living in the greatest city in the world, and there are plenty of conveniently located Laundromats and full-service cleaners who are happy to pick-up, clean, fold, and deliver your laundry for you. Wouldn’t you rather spend your time doing other things, anyway?

Our properties are historic pre-war apartment buildings and do NOT have elevators. Apartments are available on floors 2-6, so you can choose how high up you are willing to hike. In most cases, our staff will be on hand to help you with your luggage when you arrive. Disclaimer: We are not responsible for any weight you might lose as a result of living in a 6th floor apartment.

Move-in time is after 4pm, and move-out time is by 11am. If you need to make special arrangements, please let us know ahead of time and we‘ll do our best to accommodate your requests.

Prior to your departure, we will inspect the apartment for any damages. In most cases, we will be able to return your security deposit to you on the last day of your stay. Otherwise, we will return your security deposit to you within 10 days of the end of your lease term.

If you need to reach us during your stay for ANY reason, you can do so by sending an email, calling one of our team members directly, or by sending a text message. In the case of an emergency, call 9-1-1 for help, and then try contacting the Owner or the Property Manager directly. During business hours, you can find us in our office on the ground floor of the building at 1471 Second Avenue…come say Hi!
