This furnished bedroom is in a shared apartment in Harlem, just off of the popular Lenox Avenue in uptown Manhattan, New York. The three-bedroom apartment is in a low-rise building with an elevator, found on the 4th floor. There is a buzzer/intercom system for easy entry for guests.
The bedroom is well furnished with all the basics. There is a single size bed, a desk for working at, and a dresser and bookshelves to store your belongings. There is also a closet for hanging your clothes and keeping things out of sight. An air conditioning unit can be installed for an additional fee.
The common, shared spaces of the apartment include the living room, the kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, one with a bathtub, shower, toilet and sink, and the other with just a toilet and sink. There are windows in all of these rooms, brightening the space. For entertainment, there is a huge collection of DVDs that you can watch on your own computer. The kitchen has all the necessities for cooking at home, including a microwave, coffee maker and toaster. The other 2 bedrooms are occupied by the roommates.

My stay at this house was unfortunately far from pleasant. From the moment I arrived, I was poorly received by the host, who made rude comments simply because I had chosen to take public transportation instead of a taxi. She even asked me if I couldn't the taxi which was very inappropriate. |

The apartment is located in the southern part of Harlem, the nearest underground station is just 5 minutes away, by which you can quickly reach lower Manhattan and Times Square. Central Park can be easily reached by foot too. I rented this room for six months, the experience was positive with regards to the position and the price paid, which I consider competitive for Manhattan. |

Hi Eleonora, |

Dear Eleonora, |
Review by: Silvia C., Jan 01 2019 From: Italy, Apartment Share Rental: 3 months |
My feedback is overall positive. The apartment is nice and clean (and warm in the winter), the landlady is friendly, nice and helpful, and she provides blankets, towels, hair-dryer etc. |
Answer by: Roommate Host Jan 23 2019 |
Hi Siliva, you were a pleasure to have as a roommate. I really appreciated your warmth, charm and friendliness. I'm glad you had a pleasant experience overall. The lack of a washing machine is a minor issue I think because the laundromat has extensive hours, and it's a short 2 minute walk. |

I had great seven month in this apartment. My roommates were easy going and always very kind. They provided nearly everything for me, such as sheets, hairdryer, towels and much more. I had my own fridge in the room and a big window. The apartment is nice and cozy. I often had good conversations with my roommates when I was at home. You can hear street noise in the room but you get used to it very fast and it is NYC, of course you have slightly noise. All in all was my stay in this apartment excellent and I would always come back to them. |

The stay at this apartment was really comfortable. I felt like my privacy was respected and they were really easy to live with. No complications! I had some very nice and interesting conversations with my flatmates. The room had everything I needed including a little fridge. The living room was really nice although I didn't use it very often because after work I liked to have some time to myself but it would've definitely been possible to hang out in the living room with them. |

The room and apartment were clean and spacious. The roommates were wonderful. If I had the chance to rent the same space again, I would. |
Answer by: Roommate Host Feb 28 2014 |
It was a pleasure having you as a roommate; you were always considerate and thoughtful of others. In the future, you are welcomed to visit us. |

There are positive and negative aspects about the apartment. The apartment is very big and bright. Everything you need is very close as the laundry, supermarket and the underground. The area, West Harlem, is nice and safe. For people who have a light sleep, be prepared, that especially, when it gets warmer outside, people are very loud. During the night i had to use earplugs most of the time. |
Answer by: Roommate Host Feb 07 2014 |
Thank you. Noise level: Newcomers from small towns or suburbs do not know about NYC noise: cars honking, music generated from car stereos, people talking on street, ambulance sirens, garbage trucks, or kids playing on warmer days. Also, during the winter months, the radiator's/risers make noise which cannot be helped. I have a friend who has visited frequently and finds it reasonably quiet. This is the City and it is normal city noise. |

It was a pleasure having you stay with us Chloe. We had some good laughs, cookies & salsa. We miss you and hope you will visit us in the future. |
Review by: Charlotte R., Mar 01 2012 From: France, Apartment Share Rental: 1 month |
Everything went smoothly but the host accepted another roommate for the same period of time so we were 3 instead of 2. Everything went fine but it wasn't really planned and there's only one bathroom. Besides, this lady is very kind but a bit intrusive (e.g. she'd regularly knock on my bedroom door, even early in the morning, and would come in and speak with me even when I was on the phone). I had the feeling she was treating us as though she was our mother... Kind but somewhat too kind... |

With further review to these comments, we apologize for the confusion that arose regarding the tenants of this apartment. New York Habitat was aware of the fact that this owner does have a daughter who resides in the apartment part-time and will make sure that all future roommates are aware of this information, as well. |
