This was a great location as it had amenities like a grocery store, restaurants and cafes close.

Everything was great, the tv cord wasnt long enough in bedroom to plug into wall, which was a small bummer but other than that-all was great.

We found this unit to be comfortable for our family of 4. It was clean ina quiet neighborhood. We found ourselves walking at all periods of the night and did not feel unsafe. Only drawback is that it is bout half mile to train station. Thanks for hosting us.

Pros: good hot water in shower, nice toilet paper (none of the cheap stuff!), comfortable master bed, flexible with check-in and luggage drop off, suggestions for nearby shopping and restaurants, bus stop around the corner, affordable for New York. Good place to drop your stuff and see the city.Cons: communication with host lagged. Linen for the 3rd bed (a pullout in the living room) did not include a top sheet, the building lobby smells like urine, and probably because of that, the apartment smells quite strongly of febreeze -- so be advised if you have asthma. And the apartment was pretty cold (it was winter and admittedly, we are from Phoenix -- but even with the space heater running, it was still only got up to 65 degrees in the master bedroom until about 11 pm when the radiator kicked in. I had brought a heating pad for some muscle pain, but I was using it for warmth!).Summary: It's not that I've just never been to Harlem before. I've lived here and stayed in a few Harlem apartments before -- compared to all those other experiences, this was adequate, but not great.Final note: as another previous review mentioned, the host changed the address at the last minute, saying that VRBO was reverting to a previous address and she was trying to clear that up. The address change didn't affect us all that much and didn't appear to put us in a particularly worse part of the neighborhood, but it seemed a little off to me -- something is going on there.
