Can I cancel a booking?

Your reservation might be cancel 1 month before arrival for full refund (excluding fees related to deposit payment). 15 days before arrival for refund of half of your security deposit. Otherwise, we will keep your security deposit.

Why is there a security deposit?

The security deposit is mandatory, whatever the duration of your stay. The amount is $500 if you book one bedroom, or 1 month rent if you book the entire apartment.
This allows us to confirm and block the apartment for you at your dates. The security deposit also will serve as a guaranty to cover any accident or broken furniture in the apartment during the stay.

The security deposit is not a part of the rent and cannot be used at anytime to pay the rent. The last month rent is due on time.

What to do when my plane has landed?

You have to call Max at (347) 300 7600 to announce your arrival, as soon as you leave the airport (after immigration, and collecting your luggage).
If your arrival is between 1 and 5PM you have to get your keys at our agency. If your arrival is after 5PM we will welcome you at the apartment. See : Is there any additionnal fee?

Our agent will give you the keys. You will then have to pay by cash 1 month rent, as specified in your contract, and eventually occasional fees (late check-in). If the security deposit has not been paid online, you will have to pay it the same way.

Be advised that if you don’t pay, we could cancel your booking or charge you with $100 additional fees.

Check-in / out dates

Right now we only offer 2 move in dates: the 1st and the 15th of each month.
The same principle applies to the move out date: your contract will end either the 14th or the last day of the month (30th or 31th ...).

For example if your arrival in New York is schedule the 7th you have 2 options:
- Rent the bedroom from the 1st of the month and pay the rent from the 1st to the 7th even if you do not occupy the room,
- You might prefer to rent from the 15th and find another accommodation from the seven til your contract starts the 15th.
