The hostess and her friend who organized check in with us are really o.k. and the communication was very friendly. The house is in a cool area of Harlem, in my opinion a little less elegant than described, but o.k and near great restaurants with a good value, great atmosphere and prices that are still affordable. The Metro station is a few minutes away. The appartment has a good kitchen with everything you need and 4 sleeping rooms with suitable furniture.
The bathroom is small, but if you organise well, it can be used one after another. The only problem we had during the stay was loud music, so when you are a bad sleeper, this might not be the right place. I think the appartment is good for a family with kids from 8-16 and a group of young people.
You should know that the area has a few coffee shops and there is a lot of grass smoking around (honestly in the whole city). It was unfamiliar for us, but we could live with it, because in general the area was o.k. and we felt absolutely safe there. But if this a problem, stay away from that city ;-).
