Sebastian and his home are just the right fit for a solo traveler or a quiet pair. He is a kind host, quick to communicate, and helped with any issues. The space is simple, very clean, safe, and comfortable (firm but comfy bed, hot water, ac in room). The apartment's block in East Harlem is vibrant, delicious, safe, and there's almost always parking (my first time having a car in the city and it was no issue). The space was exactly as pictured and Sebastian and the other airbnb guests were so quiet I hardly knew anyone was ever around! Location is central for exploring the city (+laundromat downstairs & bodegas+local stand with fresh fruit literally at your doorstep) and easy access to bus, train, parkways etc. Truly one of the best values I've ever found in NYC and will absolutely be my go to for my solo trips!
