Andre's Airbnb provides unsurpassed value for a stay in Manhattan. We stayed in an apartment on a quiet side street near 145th St. The location is perfect for access to the subway system, and there is also lots to see and do in Harlem. Sugar Hill is a quiet (for NY!) neighborhood; we did not feel at all uncomfortable there.
The apartment is in an old brownstone house; as such, the rooms and hallways are small! However, Andre mentioned this both in the listing and in his communication to us, so we were not surprised. I found the house quite charming and appreciated the chance to be inside a New York brownstone!
The bed is comfortable, a refrigerator and TV are provided, and the air conditioning worked like a charm in August with temperatures outside in the 90s. I would certainly stay here again when I return to New York.
