This space is very clean, orderly, and in a nice area right across from Central Park. The apartment itself is well-maintained and the building lobby is in pristine shape. I enjoyed my stay for the most part, with some key features being the incredibly comfortable bed and high-pressure shower head. It was very convenient how close the apartment is located to a train station, bike station, and within walking distance of Columbia University, Harlem, and the Upper West Side. However, it is important to note that this is not the safest area at night, especially near the train station (2 blocks away), where we experienced verbal harassment from a homeless person nearby. I want to emphasize that this is by no fault of the host, but it was part of my experience that felt necessary to share. While traveling in NYC, I recommend bringing some pepper spray or any self-defense tools to mitigate any risk when using public transportation at night.
My only complaint has to do with the difficulty in unlocking the door to the apartment. The lockboxes to get the apartment keys are hidden in plain site, but the instructions to unlock the apartment door were difficult to follow, as the door handle does not turn and you must push the door forward. It was also unclear whether guests should use the deadbolt, as there is no key provided to unlock it. In both nights that we had stayed, we had to knock on the door and wake up the other guest to unlock the deadbolt, as we could not do it ourselves and there was no clear indication or sign on the door whether we should or should not use it.
In all, I recommend this place if you are staying in New York City and want a convenient place near Central Park and the train station, but the less-than-ideal entry process definitely impacted my stay.
