Alles in Allem ein schöner Aufenthalt in Harlem
Pros:

Das Apartment lag sehr zentral, die Haltestellen waren in der Nähe. Der Besitzer war sehr freundlich und hatte uns direkt geholfen als wir einen neuen Föhn gebraucht haben.
Es war sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet.
Man fühlt sich quasi wie ein Bewohner von Harlem.
Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten Essen zu gehen und Supermärkte sind ebenfalls gut zu Fuß erreichbar.

Cons:

Die Besitzer wohnen unten drunter und haben Zugang zum Apartment, getrennt durch einen Vorhang. Man hört also diese und auch die Nachbarn oben drüber. Der Boden knarrt leider sehr laut. Es ist nun mal ein altes Haus. Dessen muss man sich bewusst sein. Der TV hat leider nicht funktioniert, das Internet war zu schlecht.

Disappointed stay
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

The apartment wasn't ready at check-in. There was a facility utility problem. And then I wouldn't say it was the cleanest place in the world, the barstools was dirty. I had to clean that and on top of that, I thought I was getting an apartment with a kitchen and then apparently that wasn't true. So it was a bit of false advertisement. I wouldn't stay there again. I wasn't aware that I was getting a basement apartment, didn't like that either.

Very misleading reference on the booking site.
Pros:

We wanted to stay in Harlem for a new experience which is was. Close to restaurants that matched our cultural expectations.Although it was far from what we anticipated based on photos and reviews, it was a place to got to bed. The host Michael was very sweet.

Cons:

Disappointing and Misleading — Not What We Expected
We were very surprised and disappointed with our choice of accommodation, especially after booking based on the photographs and reviews.
Unfortunately, very few of the photographs accurately represented what we found upon arrival. While our basement bedroom was as pictured, the other rooms, hallways, garden views, and bathrooms shown in the listing were nowhere to be seen. We found this very misleading, as the photographs certainly influenced our decision to book.
The entrance hallway was extremely cluttered, as was the room to the right, which was filled with clothing and furniture. Another room leading off our bedroom was open and similarly cluttered. None of this reflected the impression created by the listing.
On a positive note, our host was sweet and had kindly agreed to accept our luggage early. However, when we arrived, there was no response to the doorbell or the telephone number provided in the listing. We ended up sitting on the curb until an Amazon delivery arrived. When we eventually made contact, we were given another telephone number, which also went unanswered.
We were never provided with the Wi-Fi password. Our bedroom, although small, was clean, but the towels were very old and thin, and we were left with only half a roll of toilet paper.
We travel extensively and stay in a wide variety of accommodations, from simple to cultural. We certainly don't expect perfection, and we are very adaptable. As the accommodation felt safe and our room was clean, we simply made the best of our stay.
I genuinely dislike leaving a negative review, but I also believe reviews should help future guests make informed decisions. My greatest disappointment was not the simplicity of the accommodation, but how different the reality was from the photographs and expectations created by the listing.
I hope the host will consider updating the photographs to accurately reflect what guests can expect.

Pros:

Our stay was very private and peaceful. At first, I felt a bit nervous after reading some of the reviews, and I wasn’t sure if this was the right place to stay.

However, my boyfriend and I stayed here for 8 nights, and it turned out to be a very good experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and even nicer in person than in the photos. It’s perfect for people who truly value privacy — there were no staff constantly disturbing us, and the owner regularly checked in by message to ask if we needed anything.

Because of the private setup, we felt very comfortable taking care of ourselves and coming and going freely. The room had everything we needed: coffee, utensils, chopsticks, a clean refrigerator, a clean microwave, and all facilities worked perfectly. The bathroom was also very clean and well maintained.

Overall, it felt warm and cozy, almost like staying at a family home. We really enjoyed our stay.

It was quiet. It was peaceful overall a good night sleep.
Pros:

It was calm. The tenant was a good person.

Cons:

This property was the best. Whoever has a problem with it. They don’t know nothing they just wanna complain. This property is ball. Five star in my opinion.

Buon compromesso qualità / prezzo / posizione
Pros:

Appartamento ben tenuto e in linea con le aspettative. Foto su Booking rispecchiano l'appartamento. Posizione abbastanza comoda circa 400 mt dalla fermata metro, con la quale si raggiunge in mezz'ora il "centro città".

Cons:

Esperienza alternativa, iniziata con il distaccamento delle piastrelle della doccia il primo giorno. Per i primi due giorni non abbiamo potuto lavarci ma fortunatamente l'host, Mr. James, sempre presente in caso di necessità e tempestivo nel dare supporto ha risolto il problema e ci ha scontato 2 notti dal prezzo iniziale.

Dishonest people
Pros:

Very dishonest people.

Cons:

They tried charging my card a second time a week after they received my payment in full. Then they threatened to cancel my reservation if I didn't provide the security number of my credit card. We are now taking legal action against them.

Will not recommend especially for women!!! it is not safe!
Pros:

Only thing I liked was the location

Cons:

The townhouse listing description is not what you get when you check in. there is no privacy. It is a shared space with the owner downstairs and he made me feel very uncomfortable as he came out in a robe to “workout “ at almost midnight & was shortly after seen in the nude in a open space . I didn’t stay , end up finding something else and asking for a refund after about 15 minutes on the property booking should really check into this very creepy, old man and house. It gave bad vibes. I’m actually in process of reaching out to booking headquarters for the encounter we had.

Lively and comfy stay with great location
Pros:

We were very happy in our stay. The room and bathroom was spacious, comfortable and well located. We had great communication days prior to our arrival and they were kind enough to let us drop our bags for a few hours before our check-in because we arrived super early. Even though we were mostly moving around in Brooklyn and the lower east side for work we really enjoyed the area and would love to return.

Cons:

I would say that the shower leaks a bit onto the floor outside and it was a bit mushy and messy to maintain without it becoming too wet outside the shower. Also I wouldn't say I disliked it but there's an interesting decor in the room, with the two busts coming out of the wall, but it gives it character.

Great location, unit A has feels uncomfortable right above the owner.
Pros:

Great location close to the subway with lots of places to eat, bodegas, etc. closeby. Bed was very comfortable, loveseat reclined, AC was strong, good water pressure in shower, unique and nice decor. James was polite and helpful with requests I.e. to leave coffee cups since only lids were there upon arrival.

Cons:

Towels were tiny and thin. Shower was tiny with visible mold. Most importantly we were sent a message AFTER booking that we would be above the owner and may hear him during business hours. While the bedroom had a door for privacy (lock broken), the hallway for the bathroom and lounge/kitchenette area is right above the open staircase for the owner’s area (just like walking up to the second story of a house) and you can smell their cooking and hear them at all hours of the day and night- listening to music, talking on the phone, belching, urinating with the door open, etc. Wish I would have known that before booking, would have chosen the other room (we booked Deluxe double unit A).
