This is a beautiful apartment in a great location in Harlem! It looks exactly like the pictures and is even a bit larger than I thought it would be. Brinton is a very accomodating host and is quick to respond to any inquiries whatsoever. The place is brand newly renovated including an updated kitchen and bathroom, hardwood floors, and a high-end design. All the appliances in the kitchen work well and it comes with everything you need to cook. It's also great to have your own AC unit in the summer months. The location is near some great restaurants (you have to get a burger at Harlem Shake!), a historic church, less than a 15 minute walk to Central Park, 3 minutes to Marcus Garvey Park, and a beautiful 25 minute walk to Columbia/Barnard. The space is on the 2nd floor of a 3 story walk-up and faces east on the avenue-- so there is a lot of natural light and good views of the neighborhood, but some people think it can be noisy at times if you aren't used to living in the city. All in all, I would definitely stay here again!
There is no laundry in the building or any place to deposit trash, so you have to use the public bins at the end of the block and try to avoid fines. The TV didn't work at all for the duration of my 3.5 month stay, including for Netflix or Hulu. I think this is partly because the WiFi wasn't strong enough for streaming, and in general was unreliable for work/school from home. There was also more than 1 occasion where I came home to the building to find people sitting on the stairs using intravenous drugs, so be aware if you have children.
