This is a nice apartment located in East Harlem, which is around 30 mins from Manhattan. Upon arrival the host was extremely welcoming and explained how to use things and also how to get around. He was also contactable during the stay and responsive to questions and additional things we required.
The positive aspects of this apartment were:
- clean
- spacious bedrooms
- located on 1st floor so easy to get to with luggage
- good location to get to Manhattan- 5 mins from subway and supermarket around the corner
- modern interior
- large beds- more than enough space for 2 people
- sufficient storage space for a short stay
There were a few minor issues which could be fixed in order to make the stay better:
- not all sockets in the bedrooms were working which made charging phones a little tricky
- not all lamps in bedrooms were working
- one of the bedroom main ceiling light stopped working
- TV wasn't working
- there was a loud tapping noise coming from one of the sockets
- shower pressure could be more powerful
- trash cans required in kitchen and bathroom
- more mirrors are required in the apartment such as in the rooms, which would make getting ready easier. The host did provide us with a standing mirror when requested which was helpful. So this should be kept in one of the bedrooms going forward.
- would be nice to have some more pillows of different texture and spare towels
