We 3 spent 4 nights here in April.
What we liked: the host responds immediately, allowed us to leave our luggage early, was thoughtful to let us know when our food order arrived (they live upstairs), washer and dryer was great, having a garden outlook for our morning coffee, the jar filled with coffee, water and snacks on arrival.
What didn't suit us:
Like various others have reviewed we didn't like the area, we have stayed in Harlem before but this area was different, lots of trash on the streets, we saw rats because of it, 4-5 block walk to subway didn't feel comfortable, like others we have our preferences and this area wasn't for us. We didn't realise that this ground floor apartment has a corridor that you share with the owners for their storage so we were woken at 5am one morning. Like others have mentioned the bathroom needs lighting and a fan, toilet very close to wall, 1 towel each only isn't ideal, as someone else suggested the glass back door needs a curtain, the kitchen curtains fall down on touch, not enough bedding for the pull out couches, we had to wash dishes on arrival as some were dirty. The kitchen tap runs hot for a minute or 2 before you get cold water. There have been updates with kitchen and bathroom but the flooring needs work in dining, kitchen & bathroom where there are areas where tiles are not there (toilet especially). Overall we understand NYC is expensive but we stayed elsewhere and felt happier. Everyone is different this just wasn't for us.
