It is worth pointing out that the owner is extremely responsive and immediately tried to solve a few problems that we encountered.
All in all, accommodation to be recommended as it offers good value for money and is not very far from the subway which provides easy access to Manhattan.

The appartment was rather dirty (floor was not very clean, our bare feet were black after only a few steps around the place). We didn't have the feeling the linens were fresh either.
Upon arrival we were met by a person we had never heard from, which is fine, but were asked to sign a piece of paper which listed the payments we would have had to make if we broke anything - however NO inventory was done! Crockery was sparse and poor.
We never got the hot water in the main bathroom for the shower and bath to work, so ended up using just the smaller bathroom.
The whole appartment is tired and old fashioned. It needs urgent update.
We never met the certain 'Chet'/Chester, the owner. He did not wish us to pay by electronic transfer - we found this rather dubious and had to travel with a lot of cash. There are transfers which do not charge the recipient, but he was not amenable at all to discussions on this. He was extremely elusive and we were all concerned that the whole arrangement was not above board....
There was also a notice tied to the gate of the house one day during our stay informing the owner of a court appeal against him - this did not feel very reassuring at all for us.

Typical apartment, very spacious, well-equipped, well-located and quiet.
The owner is discreet but available.
Renting both apartments enabled our group of 10 to stay close to each other while respecting every one's privacy and needs.
We will keep a very good memory of our stay in Harlem.

We had a really pleasant stay at this appartement. Clean, everything was operational, good location (two different metro stations nearby with multiple lines), friendly owner. The mattress of the main bed was maybe a bit hard but that's about it when it comes to finding a negative comment. To be noted: the appartement is on the second floor and there is no elevator.

We were happy with this apartment. We'd like to point out that we were very nicely welcomed by the owner. He is very welcoming, receptive and kind. Besides, he provided us with much needed information about the area, shops, transportation, etc

If possible, we would suggest adding blackout curtains in the bedroom looking out onto the dead-end street (the one with the terrace). So that you are not bothered par sunlight in the morning. The shower of the bathroom located next to the kitchen area could be renovated.

Apartment met our expectations.
Very nicely welcomed by the owner who gave us a lot of information and explanations.
Besides, the airline company lost one of our luggage and the landlord took care of it, calling the company in English (which was really helpful). He also took delivery of this luggage while we were away. We are really grateful to him.

We spent 7 nights in this apartment and had a nice stay. The owner is kind and available, he lives downstairs which can be convenient. It is a big, nice and bright brownstone building. However, cleanliness is a drawback as one of the bathrooms' trash can was not emptied and the floor was still dirty.
There was noise because of the street and the city of New York in general but the apartment is well-insulated and located in a backstreet.
Subway is nearby, as are shops.

Apartment is very clean and comfortable. Very nicely welcomed by the owner who is extremely kind. He was available throughout our whole stay. As soon as we arrived, he told us about convenience stores and services, and he gave us sound advice on subway. When we left, our taxi was late, so he helped us by calling the booking center and made sure that we were taken care of.
No weak points about this apartment which perfectly matches its description.
We highly recommend it.

Very good value for money. Quiet neighborhood, not far from Midtown Manhattan with the subway (station is a 5-minute walk). We would have liked the apartment to be cleaner, especially with very young children. Vacuum cleaner is necessary (for rugs for instance). We appreciated the shower room and toilets in each bedroom. We recommend this apartment for 2 couples with their child! We will have excellent memories of our stay.

Service is always good. The apartment is spacious and clean. We rented it twice. It is a bit too far from the south of Manhattan, but there is a subway station two blocks from the apartment, so we could easily travel. I would come back again and I recommend this place. Neighbors are a bit noisy at night, but it did not bother me.

The apartment is in a very quiet (and sure) part of the city and offer a very easy access to the transports: the subway is only 10 minutes walk and connects quickly to the centre of Manhattan. Nearby there is a supermarket and various minimarket. The apartment is perfectly equipped, and very spacious and comfortable for 4 persons. The owner was very kind and helpful. Heating in the bedroom did not work but the owner has made available a stove, which was enough to warm the room. Just the cleaning of the apartment should be improved. Overall, considering the prices in New York, very good value for money.

Hello,
We had a really nice time in this apartment. The owner was very nice and answered our questions. Service was good. The place was clean and we had everything we needed. It was a bit far from downtown, but thanks to the subway we were able to travel quickly around the city. We were not bothered by the noise. Our stay was fine but we did not understand that we had to pay a 300$ deposit along with the total amount of our stay at our arrival. We thought we had to pay a 300$ deposit and the apartment fee at check-in. We were caught off-guard, but we managed. Only nice comments. 5/5 for everything except for the noise at night sometimes which we would rate 4/5.

Chet was a helpful host. He readily provided items that we needed. The apartment was on the top floor of a historic brownstone within walking distance of the subway. For our needs, it was too far out of Manhattan, and we ended up spending too much time on the subway.

Thank you for your review. In fact, Harlem is in Manhattan, and from my location to mid-town manhattan it only takes at most 20 minutes....a little longer to go to the wall street area. You were nice guests and I would welcome you back anytime.

The owner greeted us upon arrival and was very friendly and helpful . He took the time to draw us a map of the area and to ensure we had what we needed. The apartment itself is large and quite lovely. The kitchen looks new. We found the beds very uncomfortable and did not sleep the first night, however we subsequently found an easy solution. We bought blankets at Cosco and placed them between the plastic mattress cover and the sheets. After that the beds were very comfortable.
Overall, we thought the place was pricey.

We enjoyed the Harlem vibe and had a wonderful time. The place is within easy walking distance of subway stations.

We felt very comfortable.

Clean and plain accommodation but fully adequate as a vacation rental if you don't want to cook. Not many stores around. The master bedroom is difficult to heat up and the plastic mattress protectors on all the beds are very, very uncomfortable, pity!

The accommodation is quiet and located on the top floor, the host lives on site and is available any time.

Answer by: Accommodation Owner
Mar 12 2014

Thank you for your comments, Xavier. The plastic covers on the mattress is to protect from people who may bring bed bugs and otherwise damage or soil the mattress. No one else has complained about the heat in the master bedroom.

I checked and it works fine. I am sorry if the kitchen equipment was not at your convenience. There is a full kitchen with dishes, silverware, pots-n-pans coffee maker, microwave oven, full 4 burner stove with oven, and a full size refrigerator.

I am glad that you found the apartment quiet and well located.

We rented the appartment during one week, for a family of 4 persons. It is very spacious and bright. It is located in a typical brownstone of Harlem.

The location is ideal, two blocks from 2 different subway lines, making the access to any place in Manhattan easy. The neighborhood is nice and safe.

The owner, who lives in the same house, is very nice and available.

Excellent welcome by the owner, the vacation rental is well laid out for 4 people, located in a pleasant area of Harlem which defied all prejudices and concerns we may have had when signing the contract...

The main improvement that could be made to achieve near-perfection would be to change the bedding, a little hard for my sensitive back...

I also appreciated the owner's flexibility when he accepted to shorten the duration of the rent out by one day compared to what had been previously established.

Our stay in New York went well.
The apartment was very nice, well refurbished, quiet.
The common areas are not spotless and we certainly left the apartment cleaner than we found it when we arrived.

The owner explained to us all the obligations we had as tenants and the price to pay if we didn't comply with the rules. Normal.

Pity that he himself didn't fulfil his commitment since there was no Internet or WiFi and he promised every day that it would be working the following day.
As a result, it was impossible to book online everything we had planned to do or to check our emails.
He, too, had obligations he didn't fulfil!!! And should be penalized.

Further to this review, we contacted the owner of this apartment who confirmed that he has had the wireless Internet issue fixed since this rental. Owner has been reminded of New York Habitat's standards of cleanliness for apartments to be acceptable and in renting condition.
