Great apartment in great location
Me and my mother stayed for a week and had a wonderful time. The apartment itself is big and spacious but could have been a little bit cleaner. The area is nice with good shops, restaurants and bars nearby. Only a short journey by Subway into Manhattan for sightseeing. Great communication from host. Overall would recommend and would stay again.

Gap under the front door
All and all the stay was perfect but there was a gap of about two inches under the front door which made the apartment really cold, especially at night. We had to roll a towel under the door to slow the cold air.

Good base for NYC visit
Property is easy walking distance to Subway and good restaurants. Trouble with heat was addressed but communication was spotty. Made for a chilly first night. Spacious apartment with nice kitchen and dining table. Beds were comfortable. Shower wasn’t hot.

Needs upgrade
It wasn't the worst stay , however there was tape on the bath tub water nozzle, mildew in the 2nd bedroom ceiling, rust stain in the tub and the area where the TV was had spiderwebs. The backdoor screen was torn off and the master bedroom blinds had gaps in it where if the light was on, someone could see in. Needs some work done for aure.

Great location not too far from CCNY
We rented this apartment for a work trip to CCNY and it worked out very well! The apartment was a nice size, extremely conveniently located, and clean. On street parking was no problem and public transportation is close if you don't want to drive. The host was very nice to deal with. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay in the middle of Harlem
My family had a great stay in this Brownstone! It was a real NY experience. The neighborhood has a dope vibe! Everything you could need is easily accessible. 2 subway stations are a close walk. Can get anywhere in NY easily. We went everywhere and had no car. Really stellar restaurants steps away. Bodegas and coffee and shopping all a block or 2 away. A few small critiques are that there was not a lot of bedding. My son slept on the couch and we had to go buy blankets and pillow. Because what came on the 2 beds was bare minimum at best. TV situation not that great. minimal dishes. We would absolutely stay there again.

convenient location and attentive host
My daughter and I really like this place. Nothing fancy but spacious common areas nice yard convenient to Train stops. We had a couple of issues, but the host always reply right away nothing major. I would just recommend cleaning the cabinets of old food, products, and random stuff

Very comfortable home in a nice block
I can really recommend this VRBO to anyone who’d like to explore Manhattan. I’d say don’t only try to venture south into the touristy areas, but also try to support the local shops in Harlem. The people truly care and deserve the respect. How much they care can also be experienced in this clean and lovely decorated home they set up. I can truly recommend a stay.
An advise for European travelers:
Yeah, of course as every metropolitan area New York has drug addicts or more criminal areas. Here I’d recommend to stay out of the projects, south Bronx and east Harlem.

Perfect for what we needed!
This location was perfect for a quick couples trip to NYC. Located close to two subway lines, it allowed for easy access to areas all around NYC. The apartment was fairly bare, but served our needs just fine. We had an initial issue with one of the room air units, but Angela was easy to reach and responded quickly, and the issue was resolved. We would definitely stay here again!

Chill stay in a nice location
I rented this property when my daughter had back surgery nearby and it worked for me and my family. It was 10 mins from the hospital, the property was clean, great backyard, and the host was very responsive to any questions we had. She even sent her son pretty quickly just to help us figure out the tv and the heating system. It's also in a nice neighborhood on a relatively quiet street.

Disappointing at best
It is old, and shows. The photos don't show the problems. The floors are dirty, the varnish having worn off all over the place. The floors also sag significantly in places and creak and moan when you walk. Nice Viking stove/oven, but the vent hood above doesn't exhaust anywhere. The provided Keurig Mini was clogged and leaked water all over the counter and floor. I spent 30 minutes cleaning it so it would work again. The bathroom is tiny (which is to be expected), but most of the hardware is rusty from lack of ventilation. The water is soft, making the tub incredibly slippery when you soap up. Closet doors where stuck partially open/closed.
Radiators only worked in part of the apartment.
Very noisy in the front bedroom, from passers by and the person in the apartment above snoring. The sheets/mattress in the front bedroom reeked of perfume. No convenient outlet for phone charging.
Incomplete renovations (e.g. partially painted drywall in the kitchen). No soap in the bathroom dispenser, but owners? shampoo and conditioner on the tub ledge. Garden patio is nice, but with moderate rain it flooded with 3 inches of water accumulating outside the back door. Back bedroom bed's mattress sags between the support rails.
But, given how old and tired the place is, there were no bugs or rodents apparent.
And the proximity to restaurants (Sylvia's) and the Red Line was great. Only close grocery option is Whole Foods.
Apartment entrance nook is shared with basement?
