Summary...A very good Airbnb...worth staying at.
Pros.
Location...more east Harlem/Carnegie hill than ues but the location is very good.
Subway...very close to both yellow and green lines with expresses. Huge plus.
Size...this is a extremely large apartment by NY standards. You don’t feel boxed in like you do in a lot of places. Space to stretch out and relax.
Beds...the main bed is very very comfortable...soft and luxurious. A delight to sleep in. The other double was firmer but still very good. The two singles were also very good.
Noise...very little street noise. Must be one of the quietest streets in NYC. I was very surprised how good this was.
Supermarket...there is a whole foods within walking distance, and smaller stores closer by.
Restaurants...there are lots within walking distance and the subway is so close you can be downtown very quickly.
Furnishings...I was concerned reading reviews that the place was ‘worn’. I do not think the place is worn and was presently surprised that it was in good condition. It’s not brand new furniture but I think worn is misleading and overly negative.
Host...was helpful.
Check in...met in person. No problems.
Cons
Blinds...there are blackout curtains in the front room but the back two rooms have transparent blinds that block very little light. If you are sensitive to light this will be an issue.
Maintenance...there were minor maintenance issues that needed attending to, but nothing that impacted our stay at all.
Cleanliness...the place was cleaned and satisfactory however it showed that an extensive clean had not been done in a while (dust under beds/couches/cupboards etc)
Overall
Good Airbnb in a good location. Was better than I was expecting based on previous reviews. Would definitely recommend and will definitely stay again when returning to NYC
