The space is absolutely beautiful and very comfortable. I adore that dining table. Kitchen was stocked with plenty and was always kept clean. Do your part to make sure it's clean too! It was great having breakfast and doing housing research on it. Exactly how it looks in the pictures.

The bedroom was also equally great. The desk inside provided plenty of space to do work. More than enough storage space for your belongings and suitcases. The bed is AMAZING! The shared bathroom is very clean with a nice shower. Didn't see the other housemate at all, so it was like having it all to ourselves. Fair warning- it's on the third floor of a walk up. Beware if you have heavy bags! ;)

The neighborhood of West Harlem was easy to travel when we needed to go to either of the subway stations at 125th (1 or A-B-C-D trains). Be sure to buddy up and be aware of your surrounds. Had zero issues traveling from the station to the apartment while we were there.

Carmel is a gracious host!! She very quickly made you feel at home and answered all of our questions very quickly. One thing in particular that struck me about her, was that she was genuinely in our interactions. She asked about how our search for housing was and left a great impression on me. I wish we had more time to talk, but for the most part didn't cross paths during our stay. Nonetheless we felt welcome every time stepping in.

I highly recommend staying at Carmel's space!! Thanks so much!! Hopefully catch you at a musical sometime soon! ;)
