I stayed at Halima's studio for a month.
The location is excellent; you are very close to Central Park, the 86th St subway station, and tons of restaurants.
Though I enjoyed my time outside, most other factors about the stay were unfortunately quite difficult.
I was unable to check-in for my first night due to the host being unavailable to let me into the building and having not left a key with the doorman prior. As a result, I ended up having to spend the night in a hotel, with all of my boxes and my cat (I had just gotten out of a break-up so I had several boxes and suitcases with me). I am grateful that the host apologized and agreed to pay the majority of the cost for that night, but this was an extremely stressful and exhausting experience for me, especially given it was the middle of the workweek and the host could not let me in until well into the work day on the following day.
Once inside, the studio was tiny, and was already full of the host's belongings. The tiny amount of closet space I would have had was almost entirely unusable due to the host having piled many boxes and suitcases within it. I had to reorganize significantly in order to get any space for my stuff at all.
Many surfaces in the home were covered or full of other things, such as fake plants on almost every available surface.
Basic items such as dish-soap and a coffee machine were not present in the apartment.
The bed is essentially a mattress on the floor -- which of course means even less available surface area for your items.
There were several concerns with cleanliness as well which I will not get into here.
The host was frequently unresponsive to messages. Several times I could not reach her on iMessage, Whatsapp, or Airbnb message.
Overall, I am grateful to have had a place to stay at that time, and in a lovely location, but I would only recommend this if you are on a really tight budget, don't have a lot of belongings with you, and are only planning a very short stay.
