Perhaps it was my mistake, but I expected something cleaner and nicer from the listing. It was a very tiny studio, with the smallest kitchen I've ever seen. It wasn't exactly dirty, but there were dirty towels in the hampers and it had a strong scent of some type of perfume or air freshener. It is on the ground floor, meaning you can't open the blinds or you're very visible. The windows also don't open in front. Everything just felt shabby. The entryway and hallway outside the apartment are filthy. Probably the worst part was the roaches everywhere. Now, I've lived in Harlem so I know this type of apartment well, I just didn't really think it would be like this from the listing. Somehow I expected something clean and recently updated/in good repair. I'm not sure if that's my mistake but you should be aware. Now, Gina we perfectly friendly and communicative so I feel bad but this is the true state of the apartment.
