Things I found good:
-The bed is extremely comfortable, the linen very clean, which makes sleeping cosy.
-The place is fully equipped with wifi, books about Harlem, cooking facilities, towels, soap...
-The subway station is only a five minutes walk and you are two minutes away (walking distance) from Bill's Place, one of NYC best jazz clubs, as well as from some nice restaurants and bars.
-Julia always promptly replied when texted/emailed, so communicating was easy
Things I found not quite so good:
-Never met Julia, although she lives in the building! This was a pity, as I like the social side of AirBnb
-The apartment is much smaller than I expected; in fact, you don't have the whole garden level floor, but a section of it, which, in terms of size, makes a room with kitchenette and private bathroom, rather than a real apartment.
-inside the wardrobe is a door, and behind the door are the neighbours. This means that the separation is very thin, hence not much privacy and lots of noise. You can hear family-life sounds (kids screaming included) since 7am even on Saturdays and Sundays. This is ok for one day, but when it happens every morning it tends to become annoying, especially if you are jet-lagged.
-The refrigerator is an old model making quite some noise as well
- The shower could have been cleaner.
