New York Accommodation - 1 Bedroom Rental in Harlem (NY-15029)

The apartment is very nice, bright and spacious. Well located for public transportation, the bus is right outside the building and there are several subway lines a 5-minute walk away.
The neighborhood has character, the park right next door is a pleasant lively community place.
Several supermarkets and laundry close by.
The owner is friendly and lives on the ground floor.

Accommodation as advertised, really outdated furniture and decoration, comfortable beds, adequate supply of quality household linen, the bedroom on the courtyard side is very quiet but the beds on the side of 5th Avenue a bit noisy, well located apartment a 5-minute walk from the subway, ideal location to visit, several stores close to the apartment.
The owner is really very friendly and gives good advice.
I recommend without any hesitation, excellent value for money

The apartment is conveniently located to visit New York as in front of the house there is the M1 bus stop that runs entirely along Fifth Avenue to downtown and 250 mt away are the 1,2,3,4 and 5 subway stops... Everything is nearby and it is 500 meters from the Apollo Theater.
The house is comfortable, large ( 4 of us stayed there comfortably) and furnished with everything you need maybe a vacuum cleaner would be helpful...)
Kevin is a wonderful host always helpful and very kind.
The only thing you have to be prepared for is that the house is in the heart of Harlem so when you go out you find neighborhood residents and not tourists even if you are a 15 minute walk from Central Park or a 15 minute subway ride from Times Square. As Kevin says though, only those who cause problems find them: live and let live.
I will definitely recommend it to friends who want to visit the Big Apple.
Have a great trip everyone

The apartment is well located, well served by public transport. The owner is nice and readily available. The accommodation is bright and spacious.

Very good location in a lively and genuine neighborhood (some homeless people will approach you but not in a pushy way), a stone's throw from a park and bus and subway stations. The whole foods 5 minutes away is a real plus.
Two large rooms, good quality bedding and a lovely owner always ready to help out.
A little suggestion: provide a toaster.

Accommodation is ok for people with an unsophisticated way of life who are not afraid of being immersed in Harlem local life! Quite good location, subway nearby, bus outside the building and several stores close by as well (shopping - organic food - fast food restaurants and food trucks). Local life is rich in cultural diversity if you are open to others! From one block to another we go from "pauperized" areas with homeless people (++) to more "trendy" neighborhoods. For walkers, Central Park is about a 20-minute walk. The apartment is clean, quite decent for the price, Wi-Fi works well, the kitchen has everything you need to cook simple dishes when you don't want to go out for dinner. Kevin, the owner, is gracious, kind and welcoming. Air conditioning is hyper efficient but noisy (we only put it on while we were awake and switched it off before going to sleep), we just left the ceiling fan on for the night. The foldable eating tables are a bit wobbly but do the job. The little front yard could do with a more frequent sweep up. This apartment rental is still quite decent, even with children.

The apartment location is quite good. Two subway lines + bus right outside the building.
It has very good bedding and is more than adequately equipped.
It is an old apartment that could do with a little refreshing.

The only slight downside was the cleanliness as it wasn't spotless but it wasn't terrible either.
We had a great stay.

Spacious and stylish apartment with modern kitchen and bathroom. Friendly welcome and ideal location in Harlem. However, some maintenance is necessary (soundproofing, bathroom door not closing, old locks...).

The strong points are the proximity of the means of transport, the kindness and the availability of the owner who lives there, the large volumes of the apartment, the parquet floor, the clearness.
The drawback is Harlem in the evening.
So mostly strong points.

The apartment and the building are very characteristic. Everything was clean and in good condition. The towels and sheets were more than enough for us. The landlord is very helpful and kind and helped us reserve the trip to the airport. He allowed us to check-in early; besides, since we had to return the rental car right away, he waited for us to complete the payment the next day and told us not to worry about it.
The subway is close enough, but the neighborhood at night did not seem to be very safe. Nobody ever bothered us, but there are many homeless people and drunkards hanging around.
Overall, it's been a very good experience.

The only thing to improve would be the lock of the apartment. Hopefully we did not have a break-in but the state of the lock was very average.

Located right in front of the bus line 1 and 5 minutes away from subway lines 2 and 3. Very appreciated in New York City.
The apartment is located on a very busy road of Harlem and New York is a noisy city, so it's loud but we still managed to sleep well. Another good point is that a Whole food supermarket is 5 minutes away from there. The landlord was nice. We had an excellent stay.

Kevin is very welcoming and has always been available whenever we needed. The flat is very close to the subway and to groceries, which is very convenient.
The bed was very confortable, the only drawback was the noise (waterfall beneath the window+noisy fridge+noisy street).
Our stay was nevertheless very nice, the flat is spacious.

Positive points: location, very nice owner, enough equipment, simple
Weak points: old-fashioned furniture

The apartment lived up to our expectations, it was clean, had a comfortable bed, renovated shower, kitchenware and even some basic food such as oil or cereals for breakfast. It was conveniently located, close to 2 subway stations (less than 5 minutes away) with connection to Times Square in 10 minutes. The neighborhood seemed safe although we usually didn't arrive late. There are a couple of supermarkets nearby, one of them being quite big, as well as lots of places to have lunch and dinner. Everything went fine with the owner, there was a woman waiting for us when we arrived and they even kept our luggage on our departure day while we did a tour.

Well-located and bright apartment.
Good value for money.
Nicely welcomed by owner.
Good bedding but old furniture.
Toilets and kitchen are in good condition.
Light cleaning.
Pretty quiet apartment, but the other tenants were very noisy.

It was perfect for us!! The apartment is larger than expected and as New York is one of the most expensive cities in the world for accommodation, it was great value for money and location. Our relationship with the owner was perfect. He is friendly, polite and kind. We couldn't have wished for a better experience!!! If I go back to New York I will certainly stay in that charming brownstone building!!!

Brian is a very pleasant owner. The flat was very well located, with the charm of the brownstones, wooden floor (quite noisy, but we knew it). We recommend this rental.

Spacious apartment, a 5-minute walk from subway lines 2 and 3.
Noisy at night for those who sleep in the living room.

Very good value for money. The owner is adorable and always ready to help. Perfect location, close to all amenities and transportation is at your doorstep. I recommend this rental. We were 2 couples of friends and we had a great stay in Kevin's apartment.

Kevin was a really great host and the apartment was good for our needs - very affordable!

This apartment is a great home base if you are looking for a place to stay in NYC.

Pros of this apartment:
1. Friendly and helpful owner / landlord - he was available to answer any questions we had about getting around, where to get food, etc.
2. Clean apartment,. It has high ceilings, big bright windows, all the kitchen amenities you will need.
3. Great location. Close to two subway lines makes it easy to get anywhere you want to go.
4. Great value for money - probably tough to beat in NYC.

Cons of this apartment:
1. It is on a busy street so you can hear the noise from the street facing living room. However, it is pretty reasonable and we got used to it after the first night.

Great apartment which I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in NYC.

Apartment met expectations
Strong points:
- authentic area
- owner is available to help
- spacious apartment
To be improved:
- fix the apartment's door locks overlooking the exterior landing
- fridge is noisy all night long

The owner's welcome and receptiveness were deeply appreciated. The apartment is ideally located in Harlem (with shops, subway and bus nearby). Traffic is heavy and the street is bustling but it is really reasonable.
The vacation rental is spacious for 4, very bright and pleasant. The owner provided us with the necessary household linen and the living areas are functional. Things to be improved: a more complete range of kitchen utensils (some of the cutlery and a chopping board are missing), more appropriate housekeeping tools (broom, more convenient mop, kitchen towel) and fixing the fridge which is too noisy!
Very good memories anyway and I will book this apartment again without a doubt if I ever come back to New York City.

TV could be upgraded.

Bedroom is quiet, front room is noisy.

Very pleasant apartment, well-located. Owner is nice despite the language barrier.
The only drawback is that cleaning is a bit too light.

Very friendly owner, always ready to help if necessary.
Housekeeping could be better, but nice apartment.
Noise on the street, which is normal in NY, but the inner courtyard was noisy too because of a fish pond pump running 24 hours a day.

Very good value for money! Good location of the apartment because of its subway connections. A great base for any trips! Kevin really takes care of everything and is very friendly. The apartment is not completely quiet (5th Av.!) and it's not supposed to be (NYC!). Everything OK, we'll come back.

Very bright and clean apartment. The owner is very welcoming and he gave us good advice when we arrived. Good communication. To be improved: frying pans that are worn out and dirty, so we couldn't use them.

Apartment is very comfortable and well-equipped. Toilets are fine, bedding is very qualitative in the master bedroom but a bit less in the children's bedroom. The owner welcomed us very nicely and was very accommodating. We were a bit disappointed by the neighborhood which was run down, and not always clean and safe. However, transportation is easily reachable.

We spent a very pleasant week in New York. The apartment is spacious, very bright, light and clean. It is located right by a subway station which serves many interesting areas. There is a well-stocked supermarket next to the apartment. The owners of the apartment, who live downstairs, are very kind, helpful and gave us a lot of valuable information to ease our stay. In short, I would gladly recommend this vacation rental to my friends willing to visit the city.

Thank you for this great apartment with a really nice host, who was attentive to our needs and very receptive. Nothing to add.

Good value for money. Clean apartment but furnishings are a bit old and well-worn. Apartment is very reasonable considering rental price. Kevin is very kind. He is always here to help.
I would easily recommend this rental.

Comfortable, bright and well-equipped apartment. The view on the small garden, especially at night with its interplay of lights is really amazing. The owner welcomed us very nicely. Typical building. Very good transport links: there are 5 subway lines and a bus line just in front of the building.

We enjoyed a lot staying in this Harlem apartment. I stayed with my daughter and we did not come back late. Subway stations and buses are very close to the apartment. You will find everything (meat, fish) in the nearby grocery store. Wifi does not work in the bedroom and the bathroom but it is perfect in the living room.

In spite of our concern for being our first visit to NYC and not staying in Midtown Mahnattan, we can say it was not complicated at all. There are good public means near the apartment: bus in front of the building and the subway not far from it.

We came back to the apartment at around 9 pm each day. We passed by a near supermarket to buy our dinner and we never felt unsafe.
The owner was very kind and helped us with everything we needed. We communicated via wifi.
The apartment is old but nicely decorated, NY style. It was clean and it had all we needed to cook.
It was an unforgettable experience for us and we look forward to it again.

Nice owner who helped me a lot to fit in quickly.

Comfortable apartment and good location

This apartment is pleasant, clean and functional. Subway is easily accessible. The owner was attentive and responsive.

Nicely welcomed. We quickly felt at home. Pleasant stay. To be improved: soundproofing (double glazing) and adding a door between the kitchen and the living room in order not to hear the fridge anymore. We really enjoyed the neighborhood with Applebees next door (which was really good), Red Rooster and Sylviana's too.

This apartment is ideally located, close to Downtown Manhattan. Even if it is a working-class neighborhood, we would recommend this vacation rental to our friends. It is comfortable, bright and quiet, as shown on the website's pictures. Besides, the owner is welcoming.

The apartment was in a good location, we had a wonderful vacation in New York. Thanks for your hospitality Kevin.

This apartment is well-located, close to transportation (which goes directly to Times Square and the Statue of Liberty). The owner is very nice, welcoming and accommodating. The place needs to be updated: paintings, the living room's fireplace should be cleaned up and some of the furnishings must be renewed. But the apartment is clean (as are bed and household linen) and well-equipped.

Very friendly welcome by the owner.
Great location (lots of public transport options, Central park is just a few streets away, ...)
Very comfortable and spacy bathroom; but unfortunately the door does not close.

Spacious and bright apartment. It could be kept in better conditions, but it is ok in comparison with the others apartments that we saw in NYC. We missed a comfortable sofa. Excellent heating. The noise level at night was acceptable, during the day it was pretty loud although it was not a problem for us. We think that the only problem was the location, the neighborhood does not feel safe, above all at night, but we did not have any incident. The owner was very attentive and was always ready to help us.

We truly enjoyed this typical New York apartment. It is very bright, clean and well-equipped. It overlooks the street but it is quiet, even though it is in New York. The owner is very helpful and nice, and is ready to help.

It is a good option, close to the subway and to supermarkets. Everything was clean, the A / C worked properly, we did not hear too much noise and the owner was on time. It is a 15 minute walk from Central Park. The only thing we did not like was the subway station environment but we never had any problems. The apartment met all the requirements, everything was good. I would come back. Very safe.

Everything was just right. We were neither disappointed, nor surprised. Everything was exactly as advertised by the provider. This was already our second time with New York Habitat.

Overall it was good. The main problems are 1) the neighborhood: from 6/6:30pm it's scary for a woman to walk alone. Some places are not really safe at night 2) the long distance from downtown Manhattan.
That's why I would recommend to take a taxi if you go out or come back after 6pm.
Regarding the apartment: comfortable, a bit noisy at night but not in the room facing the inner courtyard. Upon our arrival, the owner gave us some explanations about the keys, the output bins etc... and told us where were the nearest subway stations. He was very friendly and very helpful. He also called a taxi to the airport for us

This apartment is a good choice to spend some days in New York. It is well located, next to subway stations in order to get to Downtown Manhattan. The owner is very decent and helpful. This simple apartment is quite spacious. Keep in mind that there is no window between both bedrooms. The courtyard bedroom is quiet, while the living room suffers more from the traffic noise, but it is okay. Many supermarkets in the vicinity. You can walk down 125th street freely, even at night.

Spacious, bright and comfortable apartment. The landlords were hospitable, nice and helpful hosts. The only thing that should be improved is the locks on the front door and the bathroom door. Also, they could add some kitchenware.

I had a great stay in this apartment! Ideally located, close to subway, in a quiet neighborhood. We felt safe day and night! The apartment is very pleasant for 4 people and quite spacious (the bedroom is really big). The owners welcomed us nicely and gave us some advice during our stay! We will be pleased to come back!

We had a very nice stay in this vacation rental.

The owner was very welcoming and attentive, but unobtrusive. He informed us about the neighborhood's shops and told us how to easily buy our metrocard.

This old property with cachet is a typical Harlem brownstone. The apartment was clean, well heated, pleasant and very quiet.

This working class neighborhood is calm. Shops are a walking distance and also sell organic products. There are 2 subway stations serving the East and West sides of New York, which is very convenient to travel quickly around the city. We strongly recommend this ideally located, pleasant and quiet accommodation.

As the owner lives on the ground floor, the door is always locked and the house is more secured.

If we had the opportunity to come back to New York, we would rent this apartment again.

This vacation rental is very well located. Subway and bus lines are very easily reachable by foot. The apartment is comfortable and spacious, but pipes (heating system) are a bit noisy.

The apartment was great and located perfectly for the subway and bus. The owner was very nice and helpful!

The accommodation is a bit far from Midtown, but the bus stop is conveniently close by. Pleasant accommodation, though noisy, however it isn't much of a nuisance.

We had a wonderful time at NY. The apartment was very nice, we liked it.
We were feeled homelike - everything was well.

Nice host, gives plenty of good tips. The accommodation was functional and convenient for the subway. We felt safe, even when we didn't go back until night.

Very pleasant stay in an ideally located apartment, close to subway, bus, Central Park and all facilities (superette 50 meters away)
Very warm welcome from the host who lives on the first floor which is very convenient!
Ideal apartment for a family of 4!

The owner is very nice, attentive and willing to help when needed. The apartment is comfortable and very close to public transportation.

The building is being renovated. The locks need to be reinforced, they don't provide optimal safety.

We are very happy with the accommodation we rented. Nice welcome from the host. Comfortable apartment and very good bedding.

Klaus (3 people / Germany) 10 days in October 2013

We had a wonderful stay in NY, in the Harlem apartment and at our host's. The accommodation has very good transport connections and the area at the back is also quiet!

It is very spacious, the bathroom and the kitchen are well equipped, the beds are extremely good, there was absolutely everything you need (except for a toaster, considering American bread)

The owner is a most friendly and helpful host who gave us many good tips - for jazz lovers like us but also about gallery events for example. We'll definitely go back to him next time we go to New York.

- Visit!

The owner was friendly and courteous. The accommodations were adequate. Bed was very comfortable.

Strong points: location, size, equipment and host's kindness.

Weak points: windows hard to open and close, the noise, and faded paint in places.

We enjoyed this accommodation as it was very easily accessible with the subway - 2 stations close by - Very quick to get to Times Square, and very close to Central Park.

Kevin, the host, is very nice and helpful. Supermarket is right next door which is great.

We are very happy with our stay in this apartment :) Typical building with much charm, very spacious and well equipped. Thanks Kevin for welcoming us with jazz music!

The building is well located with subways lines 1/2/3 less than a 5-minute walk away... nonstop to Midtown and Downtown with the express trains 2 and 3! + the bus in front of the building.

The neighborhood is very pleasant during the day, even if at night it might seem less "welcoming" when you go eastwards (East Harlem).

A small improvement would be to put a door to the corridor in order to divide the bedroom and the rest of the apartment, to get more privacy.

The host is very kind, always available for any need or question. The accommodation is very comfortable for four people.

We really had a terrific time despite the heat which we didn't feel inside the apartment. We'll return in a heartbeat.

Very comfortable stay (2 weeks). Good access to any public transport (subways one or three blocs away, bus-stop in front of the building, short trip to downtown). The apartment offers sufficient space for four guests. Not as loud as often commented.

The host was very friendly, interested and helpful, giving us useful information, he really takes care. We felt welcome. It was a pleasure living in this brownstone-building. We enjoyed the special harlem atmosphere, too. And we felt safe at any time.

For a further visit to NY we'd like to choose this apartment again.

We had a great time! The landlord went out of his way to be helpful. We appreciated his restaurant advice (Chez Lucienne was a winner!) and willingness to give directions and bus info.

The building is very old (1910) with beautiful details one never sees today. It must cost the earth to keep things functioning well, and we appreciated all that has been done.

The accommodation was very pleasant and spacious for 4 people and for this 5-day stay in NYC. We enjoyed the neighborhood, a little quieter than in the city center and typical, too.

The host is very friendly, hospitable and helpful.

This vacation rental is good value for the money. Its location in Harlem is perfect, close to all public transport. Great welcome from the host.

Everything was alright.

We really had an excellent stay and mainly thanks to this vacation rental. There's really everything you need and the host is really exceptionally friendly. He always answers all questions and recommends good places.

I'll return in a heartbeat if I come back to New York. Since we were traveling with children, I was bit concerned by the neighborhood reputation but we weren't bothered at all, even at night when we took the subway back home.

To be recommended.

Needed improvements: cleanliness, chairs (all different from one another and also different from the ones that were on the photos at the time of booking, you just changed them), presence of useless items (sink in the living-room, things left by other guests....)

The person who took care of us was courteous. The heating was good. Spacious.

I highly recommend this vacation rental: the host is very kind and helpful for any need (he helped us book a ticket for an NBA basketball match). The location is ideal, close to 6 subway lines and there is a bus serving all of fifth avenue right in front of the building.

We were a party of five staying there in March 2013, two parents, two teenagers and a child, and we were very comfortable. The accommodation is spacious enough, well appointed and nice and warm. Harlem is a quiet and very welcoming neighborhood with all kinds of shops, as well as supermarkets and fast-food restaurants.

Truly a stay we wish everybody to have!

The apartment was very nice and the handle of New York Habitat's actions was perfect. Everything was great. The owner of the apartment was very helpful. We would book this apartment again and it's not too
far away from the center of the city (125th Street).

It is only a couple of stops away from the city. Everything was very clean. I have nothing bad to say about this apartment.

The host was an absolute dear. Easy access to Manhattan since there are 2 different subway lines right next door. Organic store just next door.

Excellent value for money.

The person who hosts us is really very nice and gave us loads of advice on the events to go to during our 2 week vacation. Regarding the accommodation, it is big so you can feel home and the neighborhood is fairly quiet.

To be recommended!!!

Very pleasant stay in this vacation rental, ideally located in Harlem, where you can reach Times Square in 10 min from. The accommodation is functional with all the fittings you may need. The beds are very comfortable as is the spacious shower. As for the noise, we didn't notice any major noise that stopped us from sleeping, nothing more than in other NYC neighborhoods.

Other points regarding this vacation rental, the host who doesn't hesitate to guide you, give you advice or anything you need, in addition he's very welcoming and a smiling person like the people in the neighborhood.

It was a great experience. The apartment was everything we needed. But it wasn't as clean as I expected. I probably won't do that apartment again, but I will get another New York apartment with New York Habitat.

The owner was very nice and gave us a lot of tips on where to go (a shrine, a club nearby and how to catch the subway).

Not very warm welcome, no convenience store, the accommodation wasn't very clean and the equipment was more than basic and insufficient (only one frying pan and one saucepan).

The vacation rental is in a good location close to the subway stations that quickly take you to various Manhattan neighborhoods.There are convenience stores and restaurants. The accommodation is adequate for 4; it's bright. The host who lives on the first floor is a resourceful person who gives very good advice and tips on things to do or see. He makes his guests' life easier and adapts to each of them.

The weak point is the noise in the sitting room (sleeping area) because the street is very busy but it's actually advertised as such by NY Habitat in their apartment description.

The neighborhood is nice. My overall review for this vacation rental is up to par.

We are two sets of couple friends and we spent 1 week in New York. The apartment is well equipped and large enough for 4! Its location is excellent: shops and restaurants closeby and public transport within easy reach. There is free wifi access, which is very convenient. It is a bit noisy on the main street side, but it's still very relaxing to come back to Harlem after a day in the crowd you get in the heart of Manhattan!

Special thanks to the host who lives on the ground floor and who is delightful! He gives really good advice and was of tremendous help for practical questions when our stay was disrupted by Superstorm Sandy. It is really nice to be welcomed this way! Thanks again!

I absolutely recommend this vacation rental!

apartment in a very good location, close to subway, bus stop in front of the building.
very welcoming and very helpful host, seamless handling of security deposit.
Recommended.

Apartment is very well located (subway stations very close by and a bus line in front of the building takes you to the heart of Manhattan), shops nearby for fresh supplies. Apartment is clean, comfortable, spacious (we were 2), somewhat noisy (at the corner of 5th avenue and 125th St: it's natural!!!!). Apartment is well equipped (a toaster would have been a plus).

Very helpful and obliging owner (he lives downstairs). The deposit can be paid in euros and is returned without any problem.

I recommend this place.

My family of 4 rented this appartment for a 2 week period during August and had a fantastic time.

The cost of staying in a 1 bedroom appartment in Harlem is considerably cheaper than staying in a shoe box size hotel room in midtown, it also made us feel like we were locals and not tourists.

The owner and his wife were extremely friendly and offered us lots of advice about upcoming events or the best attractions to see during our stay.

I would definately recommend considering this appartment for your NYC holiday.

The owner is fantastic. Always taking care of us!
Thanks for the hospitality

I loved my stay in NY, my habitat as part of my visit. The neighborhood is not the best but police officers were always near by. I came back to my home town very succesful.

Hello, everything went very smoothly for our stay in the apartment we booked.

The owner was very nice and helpful when we needed his help. The apartment met our expectations and there was no unpleasant surprise. The only thing we deplored was the lack of AC when the weather was hot.

We were happy and will not fail to contact you for a future stay. Warm regards, Eric

Accommodation is spacious enough and full of charm. The host is very welcoming and offers good tips. We were delighted to be in Harlem away from Manhattan bustle. The subway is close to the apartment and just about 15 minutes away from Times Square.

Right in Harlem, this apartment is really nice and pleasant to live in even if the furniture is not very new (this would be the only downside). It is very spacious, the subway is close by, you can easily go shopping and enjoy a walk in the adjacent park.

The owner is lovely and lives downstairs: he is very helpful. We had an excellent week in this apartment and we certainly hope to return!

Apartment is as described, lively neighborhood, shops, restaurants and transport nearby. We spent 8 nights with 3 children, it's noisier on the street side, but the bedroom at the back is quieter, but after a tiring day you get to sleep anyway. Location is very good thanks to transport. The person in charge is cordial, very responsive and helpful.

The security deposit was paid in euros and returned without any worries.

Good location. spacious; comfortable. a bit noisy on the street side.
owner very forthcoming; no problem with the deposit. You can leave your luggage in the apartment on your last day. Free wifi available.

everything perfect, no problem at all, highly recommended.

Reception, availability and kindness of this great owner. Very well located vacation rental, spacious and well equipped. Could maybe use some finish for the details: locks and electricity, needs a microwave. Very good conditions for 11 days discovering New York. Apartment we've already recommended to our friends.

Easy access to the subway, bus in front of the door. All shops close by.

Very warm and courteous welcome from the owner who lives at the same address. He is available, accommodating and gives good advice.

Accommodation is very spacious. Ideal for a family of 4. Bedding and linens spotless.

the other main strengths are:
-The shops are nearby
- Transports are very close by
- Nice neighborhood

The apartment is located in Harlem 1 block (barely 5 min) from express line 2 leading to Times Square in 13 min. The advantage is that you have none of the drawbacks you get downtown with regard to noise. Nights are very quiet and we felt the neighborhood was safe even when returning at night.

The owner is very nice and lives in the building (ground floor); he can always be reached on his cell (he kept our luggage the whole day of our departure day because our flight was at midnight). The apartment is located in an old building and was done up. It is large, well equipped, clean, the bedding is perfect, the kitchen well fitted out in terms of utensils and dishes (there is no microwave for the moment). There is a TV and a hi fi. The bathroom is very big with a very nice Italian shower (plenty of towels). We spent 4 nights in ideal conditions (2 adults, 1 child, 1 teenager).

We highly recommend this vacation rental. Little downside if you really need to find one: there is no door to the bedroom (a corridor works as a separation from the living room) and you have to walk through it to go to the bathroom so it is worth noting for those who appreciate intimacy...
