Steve waited fo me when I arrived so I was let in immediately. Steve was very nice and helpful in answering practical questions about transportation or just about anything. As a welcome gesture Steve had put in a fresh water bottle and a cerial bar in my room.

The apartment was in a quite new complex meaning that everything was in a very good condition. Steve's specific apartment was very nice facing the inner garden, hence being a quiet apartment away from all traffic noice. The bedrom I had was very nice with a comfortable Queen sized bed, my own fridge, a drawer and a small wardrobe. The bed was alreday made up when I arrived. The bedroom also had a separate aircondition / heater so I could set my desiered temperature as I wanted. I also had my own restroom/bathroom (access from living room) and Steve provided towels and everything needed. Everything in Steve's apartment was very fresh and clean, better than most hotels I have stayed in.

I got my own swipe card for the main entrance and the elevator. Two keys, one for the door into the apartment and one for my bedroom. Just bear in mind that the bedroom door can be set to automatically lock when being closed (if you open the bedroom window the wind may close the door). This will work fine once you understand how the locking mechanism works (and before you have sorted that out I recommend you don't leave the bedroom without the key in your hand - just in case).

The location was perfect. A subway station across the street and five minutes walk to central park. The apartment was on the border of Harlem but not actually in Harlem. I felt perfectly safe while walking around from the apartment to central park. An extra bonus was the excellent grocery store on the base floor in the same building. It was actually quite large having everything you need when it comes to food (and a few other things). Lots of small nice restaurants nearbye.

Would I come back? Definitely! It is difficult to imagine a better accomodation. Thanks Steve! :)
