We stayed in the apartment for a week. The bathroom curtain had mold and the shower barely sprays. The beds are not comfortable. We just dealt with it. However, one night there was a lot of screaming in the apartment next door, lots of cursing and fighting, the whole situation was uncontrollable and scary. Itâs really not a good area if you are traveling with kids. My bad for not checking the address, this apartment is in Harlem.
Would've been good to clarify that there is no door between bedroom and living area and that bathroom is off the bedroom. It was great the two of us though. Communication was excellent. Directions were also perfect. Thanks to the hosts!
The perfect homebase when in NYC. It has everything you need while only being a short sibway ride away from midtown. This room dosen't face the street so it was very quiet. Check in was easy. The owner, Patrick, is so lovely when communicating and makes the whole process seamless. This will always be where I choose as my home away from home when in NYC.
Overall a good stay. Really good location. Plenty of walkable locations. Definitely make time to visit the NYC public libraryđ The space is as described, small yet quaint. Perfect size for me and my teen son. The minor complaint is the show. Itâs an old structure⊠not sure how they can fix the water pressure and the temperature. I made the owners aware⊠they were responsive but it was still kinda whack. Not a deal breaker cause if I go to Harlem for a week next summer, I will stay here. Canât beat the locationđđđđ
Enjoyed Harlem (neighborhood) Cafe, walked to, toured Apollo Theater and shopped downtown. Short distance to Central Park. During week, parking was easy, no problems. Door locks/codes time sensitive. Hosts helped and answered questions as needed. Grateful. Would recommend another chair or sleeper sofa for more comfortable seating in living area. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, the weather was mid 50âs in Jan.!!, people we met friendly and helpful, the area busy during day, quiet at night. Living the NYC apartment lifestyle was on our bucket list â CHECK âïž weâd do it again. Thank you
Clean and comfortable apartment.
Great location, really close to the subway so it was very easy to move around New York.
Check in was easy and the communication with Patrick was great.
Nous n avons pas ete logees dans l appartement que nous avions reserve . il ne correspond absolument pas aux photos du site. Une seule piece avec un lit et un canape lit la cuisine. J ai pris des photos pour preuve. Annonce mensongere. je suis tres decue et c'est bien la premiere fois avec vous. J'attends un geste commerciale de votre part.
J'ai remarque sur ls autres plate formes de reservation que c'est toujours la meme photo qui apparait egalement.
j'attends votre retour

Two friends and I had a great 5-day stay. Could have used extra blankets in that we were a bit chilly inside sometimes - but the location is great, about 2 minutes from the subway on a pretty quiet street. We lucked out with the Schomberg Center on the corner hosting Womenâs Jazz Fest while we were there, got to go to an amazing show. The place was clean and the property manager was responsive when we had questions.
I give 4 stars for âaccuracy of online listingâ only to say that check-in information was conflicting in different emails, which led to some confusion. There is NOT a lockbox with a key that you need to retrieve and leave on the table upon checkout - just the door codes. But again, the property manager answered questions promptly and accurately, so no harm done in the end!
Three of us had a great stay. The apartment is close to the subway, quiet, clean, and well maintained. The digital locks made access easy without having to worry about sharing a key.
We stayed here for six nights. The apartment is really clean. My husband and I slept in the bedroom; my son on the couch, which was very comfortable. Kitchen is supplied with basics. Location and proximity to trains is great. Make sure you go to the Red Rooster - fabulous.
The apartment is quite small but you have everything you need.
It is close to subway station and you can reach the City Center easily
Considering the price the solution is good
The unit was basically as advertised. There were a few small things that could've been better (the bedding seemed worn, clean but worn. And the towel rack in the bathroom was loose and beginning to come out of the wall). However, outside of that everything was great. Check in was easy, great location, great communication.l with landlords. No problems at all
This small apartment in a quiet Harlem neighborhood has a comfortable bed and the basic necessities. Like some other reviewers, I don't feel it would be suitable for four people. Easy walk to Lenox Avenue and the express subway to downtown Manhattan. I enjoyed my stay and would book it again.
Patrick was very responsive and helpful to all questions we had about the property and area. Instructions for check-in were comprehensive and easy to follow. We were three adults, staying for a week of sight seeing. Very close to the subway and easy to get downtown. Felt safe in the neighborhood, close to grocery store and some local restaurants. It was very hot over 30C and aircon unit and fans kept the place cool enough. Aircon was a bit noisy but not enough to be any bother. There is one bedroom with a full bathroom accessed from the bedroom. Bedroom has no door between it and the living area. There is a portable screen you can pull across but limited privacy. There were three adults staying on our trip - a couple in bedroom and my 17 year old son on pull out couch in living area. Worked ok for us, but if privacy is important, this place is probably better for just a couple. Kitchen was well stocked with plates, utensils and cooking pots. It is an older property with only one window in the bedroom, so was a little dark unless you have lights on. Apartment would benefit from updating and renovation but was ok for a place to sleep. Didn't hear any noise from other apartments or outside. Overall very much enjoyed our stay, it was fun to stay in a residential area away from major tourist routes.
Our accommodations were fine for what we needed - a place to stay on the north end of Manhattan to attend a college graduation and get to and from Midtown Manhattan - the 2, 3 and B, C are all short walking distances down brownstone-lined side streets.
The apartment is smaller than what appears in the pictures and is suitable for two adults. The bed is ample but not firm. The kitchen is functional but could use hot pads, a working can opener and good storage containers. Table and standing lamps would be a nice touch to add warmer lighting to the apartment.
Reservation communication was very thorough, prompt and professional.
This was a nice, simple and clean apartment in a great location in Harlem. Easy accessibility via trains, buses, or shared rides to a museums, theaters, research libraries, and other major attractions. I rented it for over a week and it was well worth it.
It was big enough for what we needed it for. Very clean, quiet, easy access to all locations.
It was the perfect first time getaway location to New York. Everyone in the neighbourhood was very friendly. All amenities were close (within a 5 min walk). Staying here was cozy. Highly recommended it. Thanks Patrick and Patricia for being as accommodating as this was a last minute booking. Didnt spend much time at the apartment because I wanted to see New York but for what I was there for it was very nice!
