Brinton is the absolute best. Great communication and truly cares about his units and guest. Any request, issue, or concern I had, Brinton tried his best to accommodate me as soon as he could.
The unit is amazing. I wish I was still there (I tried but it was already booked up. High ceilings, tall windows that face beautiful Harlem, and the decor is just amazing. The WiFi was strong. The shower in the bathroom has a rain shower head and a hand held shower head (great shower pressure with hot water). The dishwasher and the air conditioner were life savors! It was also so convenient to have a keyless entry. I loved hearing the weekend jazz from Harlem Shake through the windows!
Like I said, any issue or concern I had, Brinton tried his best to fix right away. I will share that I did see a few bugs, but there was a spray can in the cabinet. Also, there is a trick for the second door: turn the door knob to the right and lightly push the door with your foot. The work desk was great but the chair is a little uncomfortable (I worn remotely and sit fit several hours). Despite these issues and some others, I am truly sad that I am no longer staying at Brinton’s. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
I stayed at Brinton’s place for a month alone. While this area of Harlem is VERY ACTIVE, I overall felt safe. However, I do advise against walking from the train station (one block) to the unit alone from (3-5 am). After a couple of incidents, I bit the bullet and started paying for taxis if I was coming back that late by myself. There are so many amazing restaurants, bars, and coffee shops within walking distance. Hope you enjoy your stay.
