Shared the house with another family during a business trip that turned into a mini-vacation. Loved the design and quietness despite being in Midtown. Kids loved the little library nook. Us adults appreciated the wine fridge 😉

Stayed here with 3 coworkers during a conference. Place is quiet, stylish, and super close to everything. Not your typical hotel felt like we rented a private townhouse. Will book again!

Stayed with my small team for a company retreat. The space is beautiful, and we really liked having the whole place to ourselves. Only downside was that check-in felt a bit rushed — maybe because we arrived early. Still, great value and perfect setup for group travel.

We were 6 friends in town for a long weekend and booked the whole property. Felt like a private house in the middle of Midtown. Cozy common areas, super comfy beds, and everything was walkable. Highly recommend for groups.

Maison Rouge was a great base for our 5-day trip to NYC. We were 7 friends, and the layout made it easy to hang out without stepping on each other’s toes. The decor is lovely and the location is unbeatable walking distance to Grand Central and Times Square. Only thing we found tricky was figuring out the AC controls in one of the rooms, but once we sorted it, everything else was smooth. Would definitely come back.
