Brinton was superb in his dealings with me before and during my stay. This was a my first airbnb experience. His communication beforehand were fantastic and the answering of emails prompt and efficient. He kindly let me check in in the morning as there were no guests the night before and I arrived in NYC at 6 am when it was -14C so I was very pleased. Tne apartment was easy to find, one block from the subway and it is a great space. There nice touches like mineral water and chocolates on the bed. I was glad of the heater as the weather was cold. The apt is well equipped and has a great ambience. There were plenty of towels, constant hot water, all the amenities you would expect. I had a few questions during my stay which Brinton answered quickly. All in all an excellent stay and a great introduction to Airnbnb. Highly recommended as a great place to stay. I love Harlem anyway - make sure you have a good look around area and don't just go downtown. There is a great coffee shop on 129th and Lenox! I would stay there again with no hesitation.
