I stayed for a month at Matt's beautiful place in Harlem and it was an absolute pleasure. The apartment is exactly as it appears in the photos: stylish, well-decorated, beautifully furnished (that couch is the single most comfortable couch I've ever sat on in my life) and clean. It's also in a quiet area, so perfect for chilling out after a frantic day downtown. The room is very comfortable, with plenty of storage, a desk (plus iMac which guests can use) and AC/heat. I was working at the Schomburg Centre for much of the time and it was close enough that I walked every morning. The apartment is also very, very close to a subway stop that can get you to Columbus Circle (via an express train) in around 15 min. The neighbourhood was great: there's supermarkets, bodegas/delis, a wine shop, good restaurants, fast food, a selection of gyms and a cinema all extremely close by. Best of all was Matt himself - he's an absolutely lovely Airbnb host: friendly, interesting, super kind, considerate, and full of helpful tips on things to do/getting around NYC. Communication with Matt was very easy and quick, and check-in and check-out were stress-free. He was the perfect Airbnb host! When I come back to NYC, I will definitely look up Matt's place again; he made me feel so welcome and at home during my stay.
