My cousins' house is a formula adopted by Italian guys who rent to tourists in New York. My cousins' home in New York offers affordable apartments, seeing is believing.
Update 2017, the structure appears to be closed
My Cousins' House in NY it's a apartment for rent run by friends / cousins between Spain, Italy and the USA, the idea is to make our guests feel at home even in the middle of the big apple.
La history is this: a few years ago a couple of Spanish friends (Blanca physiotherapist and Javier architect) moved to New York in search of fortune, they found work and a home, then they started leaving their home to friends when they they went on vacation. Between one word of mouth and another, not only requests from friends began to arrive to use their apartment so they decided to start rent it moving to a downstairs accommodation.
Last year they moved to San Francisco and left everything to Alberto - their cousin - who created a blog and a web page in collaboration with two Spanish cousins (Raul and Maria). Things have gone, and are going, very well so they decide to expand and give me (Allegra) the responsibility of creating and making known "lacasedeimieicuginia NY" in Italy.
The idea is to have a cousin in every part of Europe-world to be able to send you to your cousins in NY (one day we would like to other places too but we are at the beginning;). We try to make you feel at home, giving you valuable advice on your trip, making you a guide if you want, and offering you special services.
Alberto lives in a small house in the same building and is always available.
Prices range from 150 € per couple per night to 230 € for 4. It all depends on the house you choose and how many people there are, if there are children, how long you stay and in what period. All apartments are equipped with every comfort: heating / air conditioning, wifi, hairdryer, iron. On each floor there is Laundry for tenants available, 24h concierge, lift.
In addition we offer various services: in good weather bicycles, iphone with US number to stay in touch with us without having to spend, contacts for tours, museums, shows, etc. There is also a taxi-minibus-car service from / to the airport. Upon their arrival, cousin Alberto will always be ready to wait for them. Before departure, we send useful updates on weather, change, special events not to be missed during your stay to each guest, etc.
