326 E 100th St: New York Residence Overview
This four-bedroom apartment at 326 East 100th Street sits in East Harlem, New York City, with a Google rating of 4.8 from 61 reviews. The unit is an entire apartment (4-bedroom) and includes bills and a television in the rent. A security deposit of USD 1,600 is required, and the minimum lease term is six months. Monthly rent is not listed here — indicative pricing must be confirmed directly with the operator. The property is currently marked as unavailable, but may be offered again in 2026 or 2027.
Who This Residence Suits (and Who It Doesn’t)
Suits:
- Groups of four adults or a family looking for a self-contained New York apartment rather than a hotel. The unit is a full apartment, giving residents a private kitchen, living area, and multiple bedrooms.
- Travellers or students who value quiet at night. Multiple reviews mention the surprisingly quiet environment despite being in Manhattan.
- People who want a central East Harlem location with easy access to restaurants and public transport — the address is close to Central Park, the Upper East Side, and subway lines.
- Short-to-medium term stays: the minimum lease is 6 months, which works for a semester or extended visit.
- Guests who appreciate regular cleaning — the reviews note that the room was cleaned every other day.
Does not suit:
- Solo travellers looking for a single room in a shared house. This is a whole apartment, so you need to rent it as a group or be willing to occupy all four bedrooms yourself.
- Budget-conscious individuals who want the absolute lowest price in the city. The city’s from-price for student housing is USD 850 per month (indicative). A four-bedroom apartment in East Harlem will likely cost significantly more per month, and the deposit of USD 1,600 is relatively high.
- Anyone needing immediate availability — as of the data date, the unit is listed as not available. For 2026/2027 plans, you should inquire early.
- Residents who prefer modern, high-rise buildings. This appears to be a smaller lodge-style property (referred to as “Bubba and Bean” in reviews) that may feel more like a homestay.
What Residents Actually Say
All three reviews are from Google and give 5 stars. Here is exactly what they wrote:
Matt Graf (5 stars):
“My wife and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the room we had for our NY visit! The location was perfect for us. The restaurants in the area were all exceptional. The room was well stocked, and cleaned every other day. It was also very quiet at night, and we both slept great!”
Jeff Houston (5 stars):
“Just finished another stay at Bubba and Bean and once again it was great. We lived in the city for decades and still come back often to visit. We always stay here and your place makes us feel like we are back at home. Thank you Jonathan and Clement for your hospitality”
James Croke (5 stars):
“Our family recently stayed with Jonathan and Clement for a full week. The lodge is a brilliant option for anyone visiting New York, clean, perfectly located, surprisingly quiet and amazing value. The guys are natural hosts and the whole experience is much closer to having your own NYC apartment, rather than a typical h”
The common themes: location, cleanliness, quietness, and the host’s hospitality are praised. The “amazing value” comment is notable — but note that these reviews may not refer to the exact same unit type or pricing in 2026-2027.
Price Positioning vs. the City’s From-Price
The city’s lowest published monthly price for student housing on this platform is USD 850 (indicative). That figure typically represents a single room in a shared apartment, often in outer boroughs or less central locations. 326 E 100th St is a whole four-bedroom apartment in East Harlem (Manhattan), so its monthly rent will be considerably higher than the city from-price.
- Deposit: USD 1,600 (indicative — confirm with operator). That is about 1.9 times the city’s minimum monthly price.
- No published monthly rent for this unit. Based on market norms for a 4-bedroom apartment in East Harlem (mid-2020s), a monthly rent range of USD 4,000–6,000 per month would be typical. Divided among four people, that would be roughly USD 1,000–1,500 per person per month — still above the city from-price but in line with Manhattan prices.
- The deposit of USD 1,600 suggests the per-person rent could be around USD 1,600 (one month’s rent as deposit), but this is speculation. Always confirm with the operator.
Recommendation: Compare this apartment against other whole-apartment options in the area, not against single-room listings. If you are a group, the per-person cost may be competitive.
Room-Type Guidance
The unit type is listed as “4b” and “apartment”. This means it is a four-bedroom apartment — you will have four separate bedrooms plus shared living spaces, one or more bathrooms, and a kitchen. Tags include “television” and “bills_included”, which typically covers utilities (electricity, gas, water, internet) in the rent — but again, confirm which bills are included.
- Minimum lease: 6 months. This is shorter than many standard 12-month leases, making it suitable for students on a semester or two-semester programme.
- No indication of individual room locks or en-suite bathrooms. Likely the bathrooms are shared among the four occupants.
- The photos on the platform (not shown in this data) would give a better sense of finishes. The review describes it as well-stocked and cleaned regularly.
Who should rent the whole apartment? A group of four friends or a family. If you are a single person looking for one bedroom, you would need to find three other tenants and sign the lease together — the operator may or may not allow individual room bookings. Check directly.
Booking Timing
The property is currently tagged “not_available”. For a stay in 2026 or 2027, the best approach is:
- Contact the operator as early as possible — at least 6–9 months before your intended move-in. The host (Jonathan and Clement, mentioned in reviews) may reopen availability closer to the date.
- Ask if they have a waiting list or if they expect availability for the academic year 2026-2027.
- Given the high rating and positive reviews, this unit is likely to be in demand. Booking early also helps secure the 6-month minimum lease period you need.
- Because monthly rent is not posted, request a written quote that includes all fees, deposit terms, and what “bills_included” covers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the monthly rent for 326 E 100th St listed anywhere?
No. The data shows only a deposit amount of USD 1,600. You must contact the operator directly to receive an indicative monthly price. The city’s from-price of USD 850 per month is for the cheapest single room in the city, not for this apartment.
Can one person rent a single bedroom in this apartment?
The listing describes a 4-bedroom apartment as a single unit. There is no information about individual room rentals. You should ask the operator whether they allow per-room bookings or require the whole apartment to be leased. Most likely you need a group of four to rent it together.
What is included in “bills_included”?
The tag suggests that utilities such as electricity, heating, water, and internet are included in the rent. However, the exact coverage and any caps should be confirmed in writing. The deposit amount may also be subject to terms — for example, whether it is refundable.
