Reviews

  • Reviewer: Nancy

    Comments: Could not have had a better experience with Kara! Her home was warm and inviting, and she even allowed us to have a late checkout due to a prior engagement. I would certainly stay at her place again :)

  • Reviewer: Andrea

    Comments: Kara is truly an outstanding host. From start to finish, she was quick to communicate and exceptionally thoughtful. She even went out of her way to save a great parking spot for us on the street, and left toys and treats for our dog to enjoy. The apartment itself is lovely. Kara keeps her home spotlessly clean and her taste in decoration makes the space feel both luxurious and welcoming. I really can't emphasize enough how amazingly clean and tidy the home was - as dog owners ourselves, we have no idea how she manages to keep her place so totally free of dog fur. Comfy leather furniture, high end appliances, lovely artwork, and soft linens give Kara's home a very upscale feel. The neighborhood is lively and full of history; we found the street noise to be quieter than most other parts of NYC, and Kara's neighbors are very friendly. There's a subway stop just around the corner on the 2/3 line. Be sure to follow Kara's recommendation for her favorite breakfast spot when you're on the way to or from the subway - we are certainly very glad we did! Kara, thank you once more for your hospitality and thoughtfulness! We hope to visit your home again soon, and would highly recommend it to others.

    Comments: Kara is super nice and her place is wonderful too. Real bed for real sleep. Thanks Kara

  • Reviewer: John

    Comments: Kara's place was great for our trip. It is a lovely, surprisingly spacious (for NY) and cozy apartment. We enjoyed the great big couch, color coded bookshelf, Apple TV, kind and pleasant building neighbors, nicely furnished and finished rooms- bath and kitchen are nice! Bed was very comfortable- and more. Morningside was great for breakfast, as Kara recommended, and so was Pompette wine shop on 131st. She was very accommodating in every way and using her space was comfortable and felt natural. We loved being able to walk to the 135th st. Station to catch 2 & 3 trains to get around Manhattan easily. The only difficulty for us was parking- free parking on the street is ample but we had to do a little dance to get a spot on a busy holiday weekend. It was no problem, just a necessary challenge because we had our car.

  • Reviewer: Adela

    Comments: Kara's apartment is exactly like the pics, it's a lovely place to stay, sometimes there are noise during the night but is not really bad. Kara is a good host, the communication was really easy. The neighborhood is well communicated, the metro stop is trhee blocks away.

  • Reviewer: Alexis

  • Reviewer: Jakki

    Comments: Such an amazing stay! Nice place, very spacious, and Kara is incredible! She was out of town and still managed to help us whenever we had any questions or concerns. She answered all our messages right away and was incredibly helpful in every situation.

  • Reviewer: Andrew

    Comments: Kara was an amazing host. Quick to respond and always willing to help. Spent the weekend there with my son. Her place is great very clean and has everything you need to make it feel like your own home. Neighbourhood is great and lots of free parking available but patience is required. 20 min cab/Uber rides from her place to the city. As I told her already when I do come back I will definitely be looking for her place again. Thanks again Kara!

  • Reviewer: Justin

    Comments: Having been my first time in NY, Kara helped in every way providing information on the places to visit and transportation to get around. Her apartment is very nice, clean and very stylish, she even has a welcome sign for you when you walk in. I would definitely recommend her place as to anyone who is interested in staying here, Kara will contact you and help you out in anyway possible and make sure your stay is a great one

  • Reviewer: Erin

    Comments: We felt right at home in this stylish space. The location is great and quick walk to the subway. We’ve never been to the city before and we felt very safe in Kara’s building. Kara was easy to communicate with and everything was exactly as we expected.

  • Reviewer: Coral

    Comments: Thank you Kara for the spotless apartment with everything i needed and some good tips on local food etc. I had a perfect stay

  • Reviewer: Michelle

    Comments: Kara’s home was the perfect spot for our weekend stay in New York. The apartment was close to both the bus and subway station so it was convenient to get around. Her apartment was clean and comfortable. Kara was helpful and responsive. Would definitely recommend staying here!

  • Reviewer: Jaclyn

    Comments: Kara’s apartment is in a great location, it was very easy to get anywhere in the city. This area of Harlem is up and coming and my boyfriend and I enjoyed exploring the area. Kara was quick to respond to all of my messages. She even left out her dogs toys and dog bed for our pup! We would definitely stay again.

  • Reviewer: William

    Comments: Kara was an excellent host! A cute apartment with everything we needed and a comfortable bed! Communication was excellent!

  • Reviewer: Mark

    Comments: We stayed at Kara's place over 3 days during May while visiting NYC. The check in process way really easy and Kara made sure to contact us to let us know there was a lock being repaired before we arrived. Kara's place is in a gated community with a nice playground, park in the middle. The apartment was spacious and clean (towels, soap, shampoo all provided). The air-conditioning was very welcome as it was very warm out during our stay. The location is excellent, only a short walk to the 2 and 3 lines, with plenty of restaurants within a few blocks (Kara has a very helpful list of suggested places to try in the apartment) . Would highly recommend if you are planning on staying in the Harlem area. We found it to be a great base from which to explore the city. Thanks again Kara!

  • Reviewer: Galina

    Comments: I loved Kara's place it was an easy walk to the subway and cool Harlem restaurants. Brought my dog and he felt right at home too!

  • Reviewer: 景傑

    Comments: Kara is a great hostess and her apartment is really cozy! Self check works for me well and Kara also gave us useful suggestions! Though the location of her apartment is not in the center of Manhattan, the transportation there is really convenient!

  • Reviewer: Joel

    Comments: Charming apartment, Kara is very welcoming. Nice touches in the apartment, and plenty of room for two. Building is undergoing some nice renovations which caused no issues in terms of noise but is not very sightly. We had some issues walking on the street where we were made to feel uncomfortable and then did not feel safe to walk around at night. If you are more city-comfortable, particularly in Harlem, this should not be a problem. It was easy to catch an Uber or train to Central Park or Mid-Town. Location is not a far drive from LaGuardia.

  • Reviewer: Jared

    Comments: Great spot with great host. Kara was very responsive and even let us modify our check in times a bit to allow for our schedule. Great place to stay

  • Reviewer: Martyn

    Comments: Best place to stay. I loved it. Kara was gave easy instructions. She was great to communicate with. Hope I can stay there every time I go to New York.

  • Reviewer: David

    Comments: Kara's place was perfect for our trip to see NYC. It was very close to the subway and the neighborhood had great restaurants with a variety of cuisines. She was very good at communicating and everything was as advertised with nice amenities, clean and comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

  • Reviewer: Katrina

    Comments: Kara and her home is the truth her home is everything and then some safe extremely clean and it makes you feel welcomed thanks so much and take care hope you allow me and my family a chance to stay again there's no place like homr

  • Reviewer: Jordyn

    Comments: This was a great experience to NYC, Kara's home made it feel even better & it was very much affordable, i will be visiting NYC again and staying here!!!!

  • Reviewer: Mabi

    Comments: Wonderful and very responsive host. Apartment was super clean and very spacious. She was very nice enough to let us check in extra early.

  • Reviewer: Jeremy

    Comments: Great place and great location for our first visit to New York. Would stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Thom & Kate

    Comments: Nice spot in Harlem. It was everything we needed. Very clean and comfortable. Our flight was delayed and we had to check in late. Kara was very accommodating. I’d definitely stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Katherine

    Comments: Karas place was amazing! Pictures don't do it justice I mean it's cute in pictures but it was so much more in person. As soon as we walked in we had a note with rules and tips as well as places to go for food entertainment etc then in the room I had a personalized lit up note welcoming me to the city(absolutely adorable) and pretty much anything we could need during our stay was available there. There was a hiccup with check-out which was entirely my fault mixing up the date and she worked with me even got me help with Air BNB support and I found another place almost immediately... Will definitely be staying there next time i'm in the city ❤️

  • Reviewer: Audrey

    Comments: Very good location and great place. Kara was a good host

  • Reviewer: Alisa

    Comments: We thought Kara’s place was very well appointed, clean and tidy. It was a great base to explore Harlem, and Kara’s suggestions about things to do in the area were spot-on. We found access to other parts of Manhattan to be easy by either bus down 5th Ave or 2/3 subway. Kara was delightful to communicate with, and very helpful. The apartment itself is in a lovely complex with a tranquil feel to it. We’d stay again without a moment’s hesitation.

  • Reviewer: Glory

    Comments: Kara’s apartment was more than I could have expected. It’s very peaceful and quiet at night and lively during the day. You’ll definitely sleep well in her space. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were perfect. I couldn’t help myself so I just had to take advantage of her amazing kitchen!! The stove/oven is perfect for those of us that feel the need to cook. The views were great as well. It’s easy access to the highway and there many places to eat and walk around. I HIGHLY recommend staying at Kara’s if you want a good value and a place that really feels like home.
