The apartment was REALLY good; in some ways, it exceeded expectations. The bed is a massive King-sized memory foam mattress. The living room is spacious. The bathroom is the right size. The fridge is huge. I hosted my girlfriend and myself here and used the entire kitchen suite to cook. This showed me one glaring problem with the kitchen setup: using the gas burner stove-tops to cook will leave a heavy gas smell. The window helps a little bit, but the stove fan doesn't work enough to suck up that gas. The location isn't too bad, but it might be a bit much for travelers new to the NYC area (especially Harlem). The east side of Harlem isn't far enough to be out of mind, but since the apartment is literally across the street from a school, it's hard to feel too uneasy. The host was a pleasure talking to, great communication, easy to talk to, which was a great help. Overall, I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the area being a challenge to navigate around and nearby other sketchier areas.
