Nice Place to stay
I was accommodated with an early check-in for work. I would suggest fixing the back door to make it feel more secure. Great location for commuting around the city.
This property is easily accessible by subway and Metro North trains. Whole Foods, CVS, etc are two blocks away. Friendly neighbors. While the neighborhood isn’t super clean and there are some folks around that appear unpredictable, we had zero problems even at midnight walking back with our teenagers.
The unit itself is spacious. We arrived and the second bedroom had significant ceiling issues, with some corners crumbling plaster onto the bed. We texted and they sent someone to fix, which they did. But they didn’t clean up so we returned later that day and had to text again for a cleaning crew to come, which they did. It was quite frustrating. The back door has a flimsy poorly installed lock that I could break with a running start, so I’ve alerted the manager that it’s scary (and unsafe) for guests and needs upgrading. The kitchen has basic supplies, but we’re talking bare minimum. Four soup spoons - that’s all the spoons total. Two coffee mugs. You get the picture.
Overall this place could be great but is poorly maintained. I would stay again if I were assured it’s in better condition.

Our getaway to NYC
I loved the neighborhood. The apartment looked like the photos. It was quiet. It could have had some better pots and pans. We had trouble checking in but only because we did not know that it was a basement. The owners responded fairly quickly

The place was ok, my daughter caught an allergic reaction to something while we were there the first night. Before my husband went to sleep he was itching in his ENT, which is not common for him. Then I so happen to wake up out of my sleep and my ENT was itching really bad we all had to take an allergy medicine. Then we couldn’t figure out how to work the heat which I’m assuming we did do it right because it was controlled with these remote controls that I turned all the way up, but it was still cold throughout the night. Other than that the place is nice for a quick stay.

Perfect for us
For the price, this place was perfect. Close to a zillion amenities. We are not “city people” but we felt safe. It was the weekend so no problem with street parking. The host was extremely responsive, and went above and beyond. We had an issue which she addressed quickly, and the maintenance person was very professional. Kitchen is updated. We would like to stay again when we return.
This Brownstone was Every and More for Our 4 day stay. It is in walking distance to the historic Apollo, shopping and food! The owner responded immediately when contacted about our only issue, the tub knob came off. Needless to say, I would stay here again!!!

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.

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.
