Brandon's place is a great stay if you are looking for a place to crash, shower and use the kitchen, and you plan to be out and about all day. For what it is, the rate is fair and appropriately priced. The apartment is located in Harlem, within 5 minutes walking of the Subway 2 and 3, which can easily connect you to anywhere you need to go. Upon arrival, I had an issue with Brandon's roommate Eddie smoking in the apartment and spraying an insane amount of cologne to cover up the smell, which was extremely nauseating. Gratefully, this was quickly resolved by calling Airbnb and speaking to Brandon. Brandon had a cleaner come a few days later to make the stay more clean & comfortable. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and it was very affordable for 2 weeks in NYC, and perfect for what I needed (the bed is nice and large - I think it's a Full or Queen, but very firm, FYI - could use a topper for more comfort). Lastly, like many parts of the city, such as the neighborhood of Harlem, can be dangerous/sketchy. You need to have situational awareness and not walk around distracted with earbuds in or playing on your phone. You should do the same when in the subway. If you walk like you know where you are going, make eye contact with folks wandering around the street and subway when coming back late at night, you will be safe. I have been to NYC many many times and my husband is in law enforcement and shares his tips for safety with me, so I felt safe in Harlem as a single female walking around alone because my eyes were open and aware and I made eye contact with folks wandering around so they knew I saw them and I am not an easy target if they had bad intentions or opportunistic intentions. Moral of the story, just use your head and common sense and don't be distracted. Overall, great stay!
