    This little studio was perfect for what we needed, a homebase for while we were exploring NYC. It's conveniently located close to the Subway. The bed was comfortable. No issues finding the place or checking in. Plus you can't beat the price! Would absolutely stay here again.

    Simple but effective

    I just needed a night in the city and a bed and this worked. The sensor to get to the lockbox doesn't always react, but it was fine otherwise. Not far from a train station either. Really clean and met my simple needs.

    Very convenient located to major business areas and subway. The place was cleaned but still appears dirty, it’s a very old building that is not well maintained. The unit was described to have air conditioning but did not. It’s on the top floor of the building and it was sweltering the days we were there. We ended up booking a nearby hotel because we could not sleep comfortably. I would not recommend staying here in the warmer months. It would be fine for a short stay in the colder months.

    Location is decent. Yes, Harlem may get specific late night and if you are too sensitive it may not be a good place to stay. For me who lived in New York before, proximity to midtown and central park was a deal breaker. Communication with host must be improved, however I received all the required check in instructions prior check in time and was able to check in no problem

    Great location, great location

    Spartan garret room in a brownstone. Charmingly dilapidated (if you like that kind of thing, which I do, or at least don’t mind.) No blankets or top sheet. Full stove but no pots except tea kettle. Shared bathroom in the hall was not indicated in the description. On the last day, I found a brick on the ledge outside the window—potentially very hazardous! I put it inside.

    Not a great experience, but cheap

    This vrbo was listed as a studio however the bathroom is not attached to the bedroom, it is a shared bathroom in the hallway. The apartment did not feel very clean and there was a mouse living in the room. The owner did not respond quickly, it took a day to get a response. If you just need a cheap place to stay and don’t mind these things, it wasn’t unsafe.

    I liked that it was walking distance from the city. It was quite in the neighborhood. An original brownstone and it was everything I thought a brown stone would be. I didn’t like standing in the rain waiting for instructions on how to get in the building. Before arrival I didn’t receive and codes to the lock box or room which l did receive later. The TV was also broke so watching it was not an option. Overall staying for one night it was enough for me.

    Not good

    The doors did not close sufficiently (security concerns), no way to lock the door from the inside, and the bathroom is not connecting!! The window was also open upon arrival with no screen, anything could’ve gotten inside the room. Just not at all what we expected and we were not able to stay there, and we were offered no assistance from the property owner or VRBO.

    Pro’s Low price - clean - perfect location with multiple subways nearby -quiet building in a quiet neighborhood - kitchenette well stocked with utensils - lots of restaurants and lounges in the neighborhood. Con’s Information provided by host to access the building was inaccurate. Efforts to contact host unsuccessful and never got a response to messages. Two residents of the building were able to assist me. Toilet doesn’t flush properly. If TV works , i could not figure out how and no information about operating the TV.

    Lovely Option in Harlem

    I was most concerned when I saw reviews about lack of communication with the owner and a confusing check in process, because I've had a few negative experiences with that. Please be assured that the check in process was clear and smooth. The building is historic and has been through some things over the years, and it shows on the interior. However, the room is fully renovated and so clean, with some original details lovingly preserved. The room I had was much larger than the photos made it look and the building was very quiet. The bathroom could use improvements, ie it doesn't lock and the toilet is slow to flush; however the set up is such that nobody ever came in while I was in there, and it's fairly easy to keep people out in such an event. The location is very close to public transportation with the express and Metro-North trains a few blocks walk away. It goes without saying that it is also a huge value for the lower price.

    During the severe cold snap, the room, heated by a radiator right next to the bed, was EXTREMELY hot and dry. I was unable to sleep, and got a bloody nose from the dryess. I was unable to adjust temp or open window or reach someone at the provided phone number. In the morning, having been up all night, I decided to leave and get a hotel room. I messaged and asked for a refund of the remaining two nights. No response for 2.5 days then a very rude and angry response refusing to refund. I tried again to reason with them but got no more response. Additional issues: mold/mildew growing all over the ceiling in the bathroom. The window came off track when I tried to open it. Only one outlet in the whole space, already overloaded with plugs. I was expecting a funky old building for the price, so not too stressed about those things, but the heating issue was just not livable. I gave one star because of the owner's lack of communication, really rude, late response and unwillingness to refund the days I couldn't stay there due to the extreme conditions.

    The first night I was there it was 17° out. The heat would not work and I had no way of getting in touch with anyone. My key was in a lockbox and the code would not open the lockbox so I had no way of entering an exiting the building unless someone let me in it was absolutely horrible because it was freezing outside and at times I was locked out at 30 to 45 minutes at a time waiting for somebody to open the door When I communicated this to the person they said they would help me and after several hours later, ask me if I ever got into the building
