It is a shared compartment with shared bathroom and kitchen. It is very clean and well-kept. I cooked all my meals there. Sebastian has a high ambition to make one´s stay pleasurable. He usually just take long-time residents, but sometimes, as in my case, for one week. The apartment is on a quite busy street in Harlem. Plenty of shops and restaurants around. It is Harlem and not one of the fancy parts of New York but that was not a problem to my likings. Metro station is nearby. Walking distance to Central Park and alternative Metro-lines apx 10-15 min. I had the room to the back which was quiet. On the frontside it might be a bit more traffic outside. But it´s New York! I had a great stay and highly recommend Sebastian as an Airbnb- host!
