Kitchenette in private original brownstone building
We have a nice kitchenette apartment in a brownstone on the top floor with plenty of sunlight. In the unit there is a stove, sink, and small refrigerator. The bathroom is shared with 1 guest who resides next door. There is plenty of sunshine and it's very quiet at this location. This is a great location near all shops, transportation, and schools.

Dirty
Very dirty, kitchen had no cutlery, electrical installation needs improvement, problems with the heating, blocked toilet, Wi-Fi code was not provided. The last two issues were communicated to the host, who responded quickly and resolved them.

Didn't realize I was sharing a bathroom
I guess I should have read the reviews first. But lesson learned

Convenient and Affordable
This little studio was perfect for what we needed, a homebase for while we were exploring NYC. It's conveniently located close to the Subway. The bed was comfortable. No issues finding the place or checking in. Plus you can't beat the price! Would absolutely stay here again.

A catfish.
It was dirty. I saw reviews that said this and I ignored it. Do not ignore this one. The bathroom is not connected. You have to walk out into the hallway after shower or the bathroom or brushing your teeth. There were fingernails on the chair. Me and my sister did not sleep under the sheets because it was so nasty. Do not recommend. The only nice thing about this is that it was easy access with the key to get into the building and it was a smooth leaving today. overall, one and a half stars out of five. I will give credit to the host and say that they did a good job communicating. Also, a random man entered our room at one point when we were sleeping in the morning, which was awful.Do not stay. also, the toilet does not flush. I do not know what was was going on, but it was crazy.

Not a great experience, but cheap
This vrbo was listed as a studio however the bathroom is not attached to the bedroom, it is a shared bathroom in the hallway. The apartment did not feel very clean and there was a mouse living in the room. The owner did not respond quickly, it took a day to get a response. If you just need a cheap place to stay and don’t mind these things, it wasn’t unsafe.

Simple but effective
I just needed a night in the city and a bed and this worked. The sensor to get to the lockbox doesn't always react, but it was fine otherwise. Not far from a train station either. Really clean and met my simple needs.
The first night I was there it was 17° out. The heat would not work and I had no way of getting in touch with anyone. My key was in a lockbox and the code would not open the lockbox so I had no way of entering an exiting the building unless someone let me in it was absolutely horrible because it was freezing outside and at times I was locked out at 30 to 45 minutes at a time waiting for somebody to open the door When I communicated this to the person they said they would help me and after several hours later, ask me if I ever got into the building
Spartan garret room in a brownstone. Charmingly dilapidated (if you like that kind of thing, which I do, or at least don’t mind.) No blankets or top sheet. Full stove but no pots except tea kettle. Shared bathroom in the hall was not indicated in the description. On the last day, I found a brick on the ledge outside the window—potentially very hazardous! I put it inside.
Unfortunately the radiator barely gave off any heat in December in NYC, so the space was freezing. The kitchen sink was clogged and the shared restroom was not clean at all.

Lovely Option in Harlem
I was most concerned when I saw reviews about lack of communication with the owner and a confusing check in process, because I've had a few negative experiences with that. Please be assured that the check in process was clear and smooth. The building is historic and has been through some things over the years, and it shows on the interior. However, the room is fully renovated and so clean, with some original details lovingly preserved. The room I had was much larger than the photos made it look and the building was very quiet. The bathroom could use improvements, ie it doesn't lock and the toilet is slow to flush; however the set up is such that nobody ever came in while I was in there, and it's fairly easy to keep people out in such an event. The location is very close to public transportation with the express and Metro-North trains a few blocks walk away. It goes without saying that it is also a huge value for the lower price.
Location is decent. Yes, Harlem may get specific late night and if you are too sensitive it may not be a good place to stay. For me who lived in New York before, proximity to midtown and central park was a deal breaker. Communication with host must be improved, however I received all the required check in instructions prior check in time and was able to check in no problem

Pros outnumber cons
Pro’s
Low price - clean - perfect location with multiple subways nearby -quiet building in a quiet neighborhood - kitchenette well stocked with utensils - lots of restaurants and lounges in the neighborhood.
Con’s
Information provided by host to access the building was inaccurate. Efforts to contact host unsuccessful and never got a response to messages. Two residents of the building were able to assist me. Toilet doesn’t flush properly. If TV works , i could not figure out how and no information about operating the TV.

There was no communication from the host. We were never given any codes for the key box or the room code and it was a hassle trying to get in contact to get those

I liked that it was walking distance from the city. It was quite in the neighborhood. An original brownstone and it was everything I thought a brown stone would be.
I didn’t like standing in the rain waiting for instructions on how to get in the building. Before arrival I didn’t receive and codes to the lock box or room which l did receive later. The TV was also broke so watching it was not an option.
Overall staying for one night it was enough for me.

Honestly not bad
The apartment wasn’t bad just the checkin process was a bit confusing. Not a lot of communication but we had all the information which was fine.
