The common areas of the building positively reeked of marijuana. My wife and I are drug tested for work and this presented a concern for us. Returning with our daughter later in the day (a local college student) she also remarked on the pungent Marijuana smell throughout the building. The wi-fi did not seem to function, we needed this for work, we contacted the host and he was unable to help us with this. Overall this may be a good solution for some, for us it was unusable, we ended up getting a hotel room around the corner as we wanted to be in this neighborhood but these two issues were deal breakers for us. We contacted the gentleman who checked us in and with whom we inquired about the wi-fi not working to let him know we would not be staying in the apartment, and had left it entirely unused. I also sent him a text which read, "If you would choose to give us any consideration for the apartment being unused our address is......" to which no reply was given. Of course he was under no obligation to do so, and I expected nothing, but was hopeful, as the price of the weekend for this apartment and a neighboring hotel room to have an acceptable place to sleep was difficult to stomach. The apartment was clean and the gentleman seemed to make a genuine effort to make the stay pleasant for us. Again, this may be a perfectly desirable situation for some, for us it was an expensive lesson on what not to do when going to Harlem.
