Overall nice stay, had a few issues (such as plumbing problems) that were discussed privately with the owner during and after the stay. Some problems such as plumbing were addressed and fixed but overall it was festering problem during the entire stay due to the buildings age not the owner. Some things to consider, the lack of great food options, although there are some restaurants the selection of quality healthy restaurants and stores (such as trader joe/whole foods, although one is coming soon) is bleak compared to queens or brooklyn and far behind manhattan as expected. Safety overall is not a problem however during my extended stay i did observe a number of circumstances/situations during broad daylight and evenings where most people would feel very uncomfortable to put it mildly, although this is Harlem and things like these are somewhat common, some people make you feel very unwelcome to put it mildly. With that said, none of the points outlined above should take away from anyone staying here, after all this is Harlem not midtown or lower west side. The listing does a good job describing the studio and the area. If you want an authentic NYC experience this is what you get here, its not a starbucks fluffed tourist smoke screen of NYC, its the real thing, although there is a starbucks about 20 blocks away but closer local coffee shops such as Lenox where you can get a great cup of coffee or the dunkin donuts about a 2 minute walk from the condo. One word i would use is value, at this price point for NYC you get a bargain all things considered. Thank You.
