New York Accommodation - 2 Bedroom Rental in Harlem (NY-12274)

excellent apartment, very spacious, clean and bright.
highly recommended and would certainly stay there again.

Very nice apartment located in Harlem, comfortable, well-equipped and air-conditioned, with its two bedrooms, two bathrooms and its small terrace. Very high quality bedding. It is perfect for 4 adults. Even if it is located in the north of Manhattan, there are two subway stations a 10-minute walk away (one of them is an express station, which is time-saving). Shops, restaurants and other services are a 5-minute walk away from the apartment. The area is quiet and the place is well soundproofed. The landlady, Christa, welcomed us nicely at the end of the day and gave us all the details. Please note, though, that there is no washing machine, but there is a laundromat next door. I highly recommend this place.

Deposit issues with the landlady.
Deposit paid in cash ($) and should be refunded through PayPal (not received so far)

This spacious apartment is very quiet and comfortable, in keeping with the pictures of New York Habitat's website. Very tastefully decorated. We appreciated both bedrooms and bathrooms for a family of 4.
Nice streets in the area, with typical New York brownstones.
Mixed neighborhood but very "safe". However, nearby restaurants and supermarkets are not very attractive. Outings in the area are limited.
Besides, the apartment is a bit far from downtown and it takes at least 30 to 40 minutes to get there with the subway. So it is better to opt for a taxi.
Finally, full payment is in cash when you arrived, so it could amount to a big sum of money depending on the length of the stay. It would be relevant that beyond a certain amount, the payment could be by bank transfer.

Very pleasant apartment, very well-equipped and quiet.
Close to shops (2 minutes), subway (10 minutes).
We were with 2 teenagers, so we would have preferred two single beds in the second bedroom instead of a double bed.

Highly recommended.
Nothing wrong.

This duplex apartment is really beautiful. It is very comfortable and tastefully decorated by the landlady. No drawback except for the duvet in one of the bedroom which was a bit small. The area is quiet and the neighborhood is pleasant. There are many excellent restaurants nearby if you don't want to cook.

Very nice and spacious apartment. Next to subway. Very quiet area and pleasant street. The landlady waited for us until past midnight on the day of our arrival. Apartment is very well-equipped in every way. We recommend this vacation rental.

Welcoming, spacious and comfortable apartment where we felt quickly at home. Well located in Harlem, next to Broadway and a few minutes to subway station. Nearby shops. Traditional New York street lined with brownstones. Nicely welcomed by the landlady.
I just want to come back there!

The apartment was very clean and comfortable, in a very quiet street and close to all shops. Thanks to the nearby subway station, we could travel throughout the city. I recommend this place and when we will be back in New York, we will choose this apartment without a doubt.

The landlady was very welcoming, pleasant and available. The apartment was splendid and very clean. Area was quiet and safe. Just a bit far from Manhattan but we rented it with full knowledge of the facts. We were delighted to rent this apartment.

Hello,
We rented this apartment in July and we really enjoyed it. The landlady is very kind, she does not hesitate to give advice about subway, grocery shopping, etc. She will answer every question.
The apartment in itself is very well located, we were a couple with a child and it was wonderful to have a direct subway line nearby, a 5-minute-walk (especially at night when we were really tired). The place is in keeping with the pictures, it is very spacious, tastefully decorated. There are two bathrooms. It is functional, with a fully equipped kitchen to cook, etc. Wifi. Air conditioning works well and it is quiet ;-)... Beds are of a good quality, terrace is very enjoyable. The whole apartment is functional and very clean.
If we come back to New York someday, we will rent this vacation rental again without a doubt. I almost forgot to say that the area is very safe, no worries. Besides, you will find everything in the vicinity and people and storekeepers (open 24 hours a day) are very friendly, as often happens in NY. In short, you can rent this place without hesitation.

This vacation rental is exactly as advertised on its description. Clean and well-equipped apartment. The landlady greeted us when we arrived, she is nice and we sent each other emails several times before our stay.

Positive points: very pleasant stay in a spacious apartment. Quiet neighborhood. Location is not an inconvenience if you choose to stay in Harlem. By the way, you can quickly reach the heart of Manhattan with the express subway lines located nearby. Restaurants and convenience stores are also close by. No weak points. I can't remember if the lack of washing machine was mentioned or not. If not, it should be highlighted to avoid any misunderstanding.

Very nice apartment, landlady is accommodating about arrival time. We will come back!!

The landlady welcomed us very nicely. Her apartment is very tastefully decorated and clean.

Excellent duplex apartment and great welcome and assistance when we left.

I highly recommend this apartment. The delightful landlady gave us some very good advice. The apartment is clean, nicely decorated and well-equipped. It is located in a very quiet area, which could seem far from Downtown Manhattan but you can actually be there in about 20-30 minutes.

Very pleasant and nicely decorated apartment. Quiet and well located. Effectively welcomed by the landlady who gave me sound advice. I would recommend it without a doubt.

The apartment was very nice and held a good standard with a nice personal touch. All things needed where availble and It was a homely feeling.
We really liked it.
The host was available and personally welcomed us when arriving. We had a few questions during the stay and the host was really Quick with providing answers. Everything worked well.

Most beautiful apartment, nicely furnished, great connections via MTA (line A and 1), quiet neighborhood, I can only recommend it

The apartment is located in a side street. There is plenty of shopping, restaurants and fast food chain restaurants available. The subway is located within walking distance, only a few minutes away. We felt totally safe and secure. Within about 20 mins., the subway takes you to Times Square - and we were just happy to escape the crowds for a while, and to have the refuge of an apartment in a quiet location. The landlady is very nice and flexible when it comes to arrival and departure. She also speaks German. The apartment is quite modern and nicely furnished. During that week we lacked nothing and we'd gladly come again!

Very pleasant neighborhood. Comfortable and nicely furnished apartment. It was really a nice apartment. Very well located and the area is very enjoyable.

Harlem neighborhood is well served by subway. Very animated but quiet. Black, Hispanic and white people live next to each other. There are a lot of nice townhouses (row houses) from the 1930's. It is a nice and spacious duplex apartment, very bright, with a view on the garden from one side of the building. It is decorated in a modern and high quality style, and the kitchen is very well-equipped. Bedrooms are lightly furnished. The one which overlooks the street suffers a bit from traffic noise in the morning. The landlady welcomed us nicely. We had a pleasant stay and we could easily rest in the apartment after spending the day in Downtown Manhattan.

Strengths: quiet, two independent bathrooms, apartment decorated with taste, nice owner. Weaknesses: in one bedroom there was little space between the bed and the walls.

Perfect apartment that allowed us to come home in a quiet environment after walking across New York streets. The metro is 4 blocks away. The apartment is excellent. Very quiet neighborhood. No complaints and in line with the online description in every way.

Practical and well-appointed apartment. Quiet place located far from the hustle and bustle of central Manhattan. We felt right at home during our vacation.

The apartment is well located, not far from the subway station and bus stops. There are many convenience stores (supermarkets, restaurants, bars). The apartment is as described, very clean. The landlady welcomed us very nicely, she even managed to deal with time constraints (late arrival or early departure).

Only pros, no cons
I recommend without hesitation

Very nice duplex apartment in a quiet neighborhood. Tastefully decorated and very well equipped. Even if it is located in Upper Harlem, the apartment is next to subway stations which quickly take you to Downtown Manhattan.

This house is located in a pretty street with aligned brownstones. Though located next to Broadway and Amsterdam avenues, it is a quiet haven of rest in which we enjoyed coming back after spending a day in the hustle and bustle of Downtown Manhattan. Great connection with the subway (the express line reaches Times Square in 15 minutes). Everything is very tidy and in a perfect condition. Bedding is fine (but quilts were too small for double beds). Kitchen is ideally equipped if you want to cook (fridge is small but there is also a big separated freezer). There is a supermarket close by for shopping. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The landlady lives on the ground floor (separated from the rental) or in another house (according to her schedule). She will not make conversation or give you some advice but at least, she is discreet... There is someone renting the basement (and the adjoining garden), but you can't hear anything upstairs. In short: we truly enjoyed our stay in this apartment which turned out to be even better than the featured pictures.

Bad welcome. Delayed arrival due to some formalities at the airport, the owner had to wait. No explanations about garbage, cleaning products, etc.

Excellent

The apartment was very nice and comfortable.It was nice to live in a complete home.

Perfect

The best that could happen to us in terms of dwellings in New York! Very nice apartment with lots of room and comfort, which allows you to digest the overkill of input from the city! Stores with plenty on offer for home cooking but also pubs, restaurants, and cafes in close proximity.

The Subway is in walking distance and it only takes 10 mins. max to get to Central Park West. Everything went smooth with the very nice landlady.

The apartment was fantastic. We loved the mannor in which it was decorated and how clean and neat and orderly it was. You could tell that the person who owned it took great pride in their living space and had a genuine interest in architecture and design. The space was aesthetically pleasing and showed exactly as what was depicted in the pictures. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and was happy with how close it was to the subway system and the amenities close by. We wouldn't hesitate to rent this property again or recommend the property to others.

This vacation rental-although far north of Manhattan- is very well located between 2 subway stations and close to small supermarkets. We appreciated being away from the tumult of NY more touristy neighborhoods.
The apartment itself is wonderful, very tastefully decorated and very comfortable for 4 people. The hostess was delightful (despite our arrival in the middle of the night!)

Everything [with this New York accommodation] was great. Thank you.

The apartment was as described. It was immaculate and nicely decorated. It felt like home.
The cat was sweet and very friendly. Although I arrived late and never met the owner, arrangements were made for me to recieve keys, etc. Since I left before the owner returned, I wasn't able to receive my deposit immediately but it was returned promptly by mail. A very pleasant stay. I would definitely stay there again.
