We wanted to stay in Harlem. This accommodation was in a great location. Very large and typical apartment. Subway and buses are close by. We were a family of 5.

Review by: Denise C.,
Jan 02 2020
From: France,
Accommodation Rental: 7 days

The apartment was quite spacious and well located for the Subway and other amenities in Harlem. We knew we would be quite far out of central Manatten but getting in and out was not a problem with just a 5 minute walk to the Subway. We were greeted with an excellent and very friendly welcome upon our arrival and plenty of extremely helpful advice, direcions etc. There was a little problem with the gate on returning to the apartment on our first evening but we had immediate help and explanations so it was a non-issue thereafter..

On first impression, the apartment seemed clean and neat but as soon as we walked barefoot or with socks inside we realised that the floors were not very clean - as if the floors had been swpet/vaccumed but not actually washed.

Although we had most things we needed for a weeklong stay, the apartment and some of the equipment was a little tired and the quality of the linens was not what we had expected. A strainer for rice/pasta and couple of extra tea-towels would have been welcome as well as some additional serving bowls instead of Tupperware and also a few more wine glasses, A small dishwasher would have been a bonus.

Overall for an apartment in Harlem we were quite satisfied. Our welcome and depature were seamless. Thank you!

We have passed on your comments regarding cleanliness to the owner and he will look into it. We are sorry you did not have enough kitchenware. The owner would have provided more items if asked. Next time, feel free to contact your vacation rental host.
Thank you again for this review, we hope you enjoyed exploring New York during the Holiday Season!

I strongly recommend this very well located flat, close to subway stations. The accommodation was in conformity with the ad. The owner was very kind, available in case of questions/needs. I keep a very good memory of my stay in this flat.

Very quiet area (except on Saturday night and the lack of soundproofing which lets the street noise through). Owner is very polite, pleasant and helpful. Very well-located apartment (Harlem atmosphere is relaxing and nice). The main issue is the plumbing (toilet evacuation, system is probably old and defective). Nothing has been done during our stay, except that we've been threatened to pay for the intervention of a plumber...

Answer by: Accommodation Owner
May 28 2019

The plumbing was working fine prior to guests coming...possibly they overloaded it with tissue....a maintenance man was sent to correct the problem

This apartment was ideal for a family of 5. Very clean and functional, the owner was attentive to our needs. Only one thing to improve: providing enough cutlery (there are only two teaspoons for instance).

Answer by: Accommodation Owner

Hi Sylvain,

Thank you for your review and for your recent stay. It is always important to know what a guest would expect during his stay. I will take your feedback in consideration for the future, especially for the cutlery.

CHET welcomed us nicely.

Review by: Karina B.,
Jan 04 2019
From: United Kingdom,
Accommodation Rental: 6 days

The apartment was very comfortable for four adults, with two bathrooms, large bedrooms rooms and comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped with a huge fridge freezer and sufficient crockery and utensils (although we could have done with some larger spoons to eat cereal with).
The location is very good with a good choice of subway services only 5 minutes walk away running 2, 3, B and C trains. The apartment was warm and there was enough hot water (just) for 4 short showers. There was some movement noise from people in the upstairs apartment but not too noticeable.
There are a number of shops and restaurants nearby and the neighbourhood was lively and we felt safe enough.
Chet (the apartment owner) was very friendly and accommodating and kept in contact throughout the whole process from the initial booking to final checkout.

A few improvements that would have made our stay more comfortable include:
Additional lounge seating: there is only really enough comfortable seating for three adults.
Larger / additional towels, the towels provided were quite small and there wasn't anywhere to dry them completely before the next use
Coats: the apartment needs an area to hang/store wet coats and shoes, maybe some coat hooks by the entrance?

We really enjoyed our stay and I would definitely recommend the apartment as I believe it is a great place for a family or two couples to stay in and offers good value for money.

Strong points: quiet, very spacious, nice bathroom and shower room. Two subway lines close by.
To be improved: the sheets were not appropriate for the big bed, there was no blind on the bedroom's window, some glasses are missing.

Answer by: Accommodation Owner

Thank you for your comments and suggestions, I will get new sheets for the bed and check the glasses. Also I'll see if is possible to do something about the blinds. Nice guests... would welcome them back anytime!

Great vacation rental! Two subway stations nearby, quiet building and in keeping with the pictures. Chet, the owner, is really nice and receptive. The only drawback is the apartment cleanliness despite the 90$ cleaning fee (dead mouse, cockroaches, dust). I highly recommend this rental.

Answer by: Accommodation Owner
Jan 24 2018

In the block there were 3 homes being tenovated...2 had been vacant for years and had become a great nesting for rodents which were scattering thru out the neighborhood. ..unfortunately one was able to get in my place. I had exterminators to exterminate my entire property which obviously was successful. ..unfortunately the critter died in one of the apartments. ..as for as the dust...as I stated earlier there was at that time quite a bit of construction being done and you could dust but some would still filter Bach in....I was informed by the exterminator that the roaches probably came from shopping bags from the grocer because no other roaches were found thru out the building other than in that unit...I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to my guests...these things have nexer happened before...

Big apartment with 2 actual bedrooms but not 3. Nice renovated building in an area undergoing changes. Strong points: its surface and Art Deco style. Weak point: soundproofing.

This apartment is well located, a 10-minute walk from the subway and next to shops.
Not enough crockery, housecleaning could be more meticulous and the street-facing bedroom could be better soundproofed. The bedroom facing the courtyard does not have any shutter (sun rises at 5.30 am!!!!!!).
Owner is very nice and available.
Very good value for money.

Review by: Herve B.,

This spacious apartment is well located in Harlem. Subway stations are not too far. Several gospel choirs on Sundays, a 10-minute walk away. There is a well-stocked supermarket offering fresh vegetables at competitive prices, only 15-minute walk away. The wooden decoration as in old-style apartments is nice if you like old charm decoration. There was some noise during our stay due to construction works nearby. Thermal insulation and soundproofing were not good. Toilet was regularly clogged (this toilet flush issue should be solved by the owner as it is really annoying). Chester, the owner, is nice and available to give advice and information.

Answer by: Accommodation Owner
Mar 09 2016

Herve, you were a very pleasant guest and I would welcome you to stay at my place anytime.
I am really sorry that you were disturbed by the constriction noise, the construction is over now.
I am sorry that you had problems with the toilet, this is the first time anyone mentions such issue, it is working fine now.
Chet

We were very happy with where we stayed. There were a couple of things that might need reviewing, like bedding and additional cleaning. Other than that, we felt extremely comfortable in our location and were very happy with the size of the unit!

Answer by: Accommodation Owner
Oct 19 2015

Unfortunately there were guests in the unit prior to theses guests arriving which caused the cleaners to have to rush to accommodate their checking in...the beds have extra mattress covers to insure no bedbugs...the guests were very nice and would welcome them back anytime.

You were very nice and I would welcome you back anytime. I am sorry I was not able to answer the phone during your stay but I was away at that time. As for the air conditioner, I had it serviced and it no longer makes the noise.

Nice welcome from the host. The accommodation is exactly as described and turns out to be spacious. The neighborhood is highly picturesque and you never feel unsafe there. Although off Manhattan center, it is quickly accessible with the subway and it allows you to escape from the crowd and the noisy atmosphere.
A small point to be improved: the cleanliness in the common areas as well as in the apartment (under the beds and in the corners...)

We spent 6 days in this very clean and comfortable apartment. Chet was a great host, always attentive and helpful for anything we may need, location very close to two subway stations 20 min from New York main attractions.

Harlem is a very picturesque neighborhood that may appear to be intimidating at night because nothing ever happens; just a few blocks away, you can enjoy the neighborhood's typical architecture-worth seeing.

It is a really beautiful apartment in a popular Manhattan neighborhood and in a quiet street. The apartment is big and highly functional. It is much bigger than you'd imagine from its floorplan. The architecture of the building and the street as a whole is very appealing. The host is a very kind and helpful man. The subway is less than a 10-min walk away and takes you to the heart of Manhattan in 20 min. There is a supermarket a 10-min walk from the apartment. It is an apartment we thoroughly recommend.

Owner Chet was extremely kind and helpful. The building is quite nice. We were very comfortable there. It is not an especially long walk from the subway, but it did feel a bit quiet late at night after a show. If we found ourselves in similar circumstances (a family group needing a place for several days) I would stay there again.

Beautiful apartment in the Harlem. Neighbourhood was safe, beautiful tree lined street. Owner was outstanding at greeting us, making sure everything worked and was to our expectations, checking with us several times during the week.

He lived close by, and made us feel like family. Check in/out was prompt and accurate, deposit returned promptly after inspection.

Highly recommended.

Review by: Corinne D.,
May 09 2011
From: France,
Accommodation Rental: 9 days

We had a very pleasant stay and the owner was extremely friendly, as well as helpful when the internet connexion wouldn't work on our computer and he lent us his own laptop, and accomodating with our late arrival and luggage storage for example. His directions for shops and places in the vicinity were also very helpful.
Towels were plentiful and new, but we were a bit surprised at the nylon (?) sheets in the beds which were not too comfortable, although the bedding itself was excellent. Maybe an American fashion? Cooking utensils were a bit minimalist, but I can make allowance for the fact that with a family of 6, I probably cook more than the average holiday-maker! Also, there was no dishwasher, although the website indicates one.
These are minor inconveniences that did not prevent us from spending a very agreeable vacation.

Corinne, thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. Following confirmation from the owner after we shared your feedback with him, we have updated the apartment amenities. We are very happy to hear you enjoyed this vacation rental and had a pleasant vacation in New York!
