Ephraim is a super host. He is welcoming, yet maintains good communication and is easy to reach if needed. The studio is as described, located in the front of a brownstone overlooking the street. I liked the fact that the windows opened allowing for fresh air. I also appreciated the amenities - quality bedding and bath towels makes for a pleasant visit, as well as the large screen TV. I'm a fan of Harlem so I enjoyed the neighborhood; as others have noted, the subway is only a couple of blocks away. Overall, one of my better AirBnB experiences.
