  • Reviewer: Dianne

    Comments: This was a great experience. Kev is a wonderful host. The room and apartment is comfortable. The location is close to Starbucks, good restaurants and a grocery store - try the barbecue there!

  • Reviewer: Andre

    Comments: Kev welcomed me and we had a nice dinner in the area. He is a nice chatty host, who gave me also some nice tips for sightseeing. All arrangements were went pretty smooth and I had a great time. The location is perfectly situated between Central Park and Morningside Park. I used to have my breakfast out in the parks, just a few minutes walk.

  • Reviewer: Preston

    Comments: The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

  • Reviewer: Mateo

    Comments: I stayed here for almost 2 months during this summer. This is an spacious and bright apartment, well communicated with A/B/C/D lines, West 125st Stop is less than 10 minutes walk distance, West 116 st is even closer, and Central Park only a few blocks away. There's a pretty big supermarket less than a block away, also 24h pharmacy, Starbucks, restaurants... West Harlem is a pretty quiet and very residential neighborhood, people is nice and distance to downtown definitely a plus. Kev and I were almost all the time working, but when we met at home we had good times chatting, he's a great person, fun, and did everything to make my stay comfortable and to make me feel home. Highly recommended.

  • Reviewer: Matteo

    Comments: Kev was kind, responsive and helpful, the place is really nice and as advertised. The neighbourhood is safe and the apartment is only minutes walk from the subway. The only downside really is that there is no elevator but it's a second floor so it's not too bad. Ultimately Kev is very respectful, left us plenty of privacy and most of the times we had the place to ourselves.

  • Reviewer: Colin

    Comments: Great place, nice guy, no hassle stay

  • Reviewer: Gina

    Comments: A+++ stay in this completely renovated and most comfortable two bedroom, one bathroom apartment. Kevin provided exceptional communication prior to and throughout our stay. The area is super safe. The beautification of the upper west side of Harlem is incredible based on how I remember it back in 1989. The building is secure and we were wondering if anyone lived in the building because it was always very quiet. People are super friendly and restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping are within walking distance. My family members live in small studios or one bedroom apartments in NYC so finding this AIRBNB rental was such a blessing to us as a family. We were able to meet up at the apartment to spend time together as a family. The apartment is equipped with everything you'll need to feel like your at home. The strain is within walking distance and catching a taxi is simple. There is a park not far from the apartment if you want to picnic or BBQ. We can write a book about our A+++ experience. Thank you, Kevin!! We will definitely be back.

  • Reviewer: Asmar

    Comments: Kevin's place was exactly how described, located in a great location close to public transportation and a plethora of attractions. The apartment slept three comfortably everything was clean appliances were up-to-date and building was quiet. I definitely recommend this property and Kevin was a great host who answered all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner

  • Reviewer: Diamond

    Comments: Kev is very nice guy. The room is very clean and convenient . There is anything what you want in kitchen. The location is perfect , and subway station and metro is two minutes walk away. Even you can walk to Central P ark in ten minutes. It's really perfect apartment. Definitely I will come again!

  • Reviewer: Neva

    Comments: This place is exactly as pictured, spacious and spotlessly clean; and a cool and comfortable respite from the hot streets of NYC (we visited on a blistering hot day). Kev was very accommodating about coordinating the time for key pickup with us. Bathroom and kitchen are fully updated and also spotless. Just the place we needed for an overnight stay, and perfect if you have friends or family at Columbia U--which is just a quick walk from the apartment.

  • Reviewer: Carolyn

    Comments: Great place! Fantastic host. The apartment and its location was super. Highly recommend it.

  • Reviewer: Amr

    Comments: Kev was very patient waiting for my Fiance' as she was late arriving from the airport. the property description was as per the listing. everything was great.

  • Reviewer: Cyril

    Comments: Our trip started as a nightmare : 6hours of flight delays , lost luggage... And our sunshine was called Kev ! He waited for us, and helped us in all our procedures by calling the airline, carrier, ... and keeping us informed . He was kindness a lot. The apartment is entirely consistent with the description. The place is quiet. Convenient because 5 minutes from the subway. Many shops and restaurants around. Well equipped kitchen. Bathroom with all the necessary products. Spacious, and very well equipped. If you are going to New York, it's a great place and a good adress ! Highly recommended !

  • Reviewer: Mark

    Comments: This is a great apartment. It's in a perfect location to access the express trains and in a lively location in Harlem. The apartment is outfitted with almost everything one can think of including a French press, a Bluetooth speaker, etc. Each room has a separate air conditioner. It's clean and safe. The apartment is a 3rd floor walkup, so keep that in mind if you have access issues or lots of luggage. We had a great stay. Thanks Kev.

  • Reviewer: Becky

    Comments: We stayed in Kevin's place with 4 adults and a baby for one week. We liked the location, it was so quiet at night and we felt safe. We were especially thankful for the comfy pull out couch in the living room and for the washer/dryer for baby clothes. The apartment was perfect for what we needed and we would definitely stay there again. It is around the corner from a great grocery store, and from the 116th subway station. Thank you Kevin for setting us up for an adventure in Harlem! We highly recommend the chicken and waffles, and the sweet potato pie at Amy Ruth's in Harlem!

  • Reviewer: Jason

    Comments: My wife and daughter visited NYC and stayed at Kev's place and it was as described. It was close to the MTA station and had room for my 1 year old's crib and a separate room for us to stay in. Kev met us at the door and was very helpful in getting us all set up and ready to explore NYC. The place is well furnished and is a great place to make anyone feel right at home.

  • Reviewer: Jim

    Comments: The condo was very nice and clean for my wife's and my visit to New York. We took advantage of the open and comfortable living room to relax with a little wine our fist night after our travels. Kev is a thoughtful and accommodating host. I recommend this place and would consider staying here again.

  • Reviewer: Scott

    Comments: Good experience. We texted from the airport, and Kevin met us in front of the condo. He allowed us to drop our bags off earlier than the official check in time, which was great. The condo was spacious and the building was very quiet -- not once did we hear any neighbors. I'm a light sleeper, and the layout/structure of the condo was great with respect to that -- my son stayed up later than me, and I never heard him in the kitchen, bathroom, or living area (i.e., didn't hear the shower running, toilet flushing, etc.).

  • Reviewer: Ashley

    Comments: Kev was a great host! The apartment was in a perfect location to Columbia university and close to the subway. The apartment was very cozy and clean. Nice bed, pull out couch, and good linens. We would stay here again!

  • Reviewer: Eveline

    Comments: We have stayed for 5 days in Kev's apartment. It is a great place, safe environment, good supermarket, coffee and subway station only 1 block away. Central park is close and it takes aprox 15 min to Times Square with the subway. The apartment is clean, great bed en soft sheets ;-) Good wifi, big TV and good equipment in the kitchen If you use the sofa it is suitable for 4 persons. I can definitely recommend this place

  • Reviewer: Etienne

    Comments: Bel appartement grand, bien arrangé, meublé avec goût et confortable. Il est proche d'une station de métro et de Central Park. L'équipement est complet, de qualité et pratique et convient bien à quatre personnes (peut être un peu juste pour plus). On trouve de nombreux commerces dont un petit supermarché très bien achalandé à 1 bloc. L'appartement donnant sur une avenue, il est un peu bruyant (mais New-York est une ville bruyante). L'accès au centre de Manhattan se fait en une petite demi-heure en métro (il y a aussi des bus qui permettent d'aller sur EastSide). Kev répond très vite aux questions et est très réactif et efficace quand il y a un souci (mineur dans notre cas).

  • Reviewer: Kathie

    Comments: The apartment was perfect and exactly as described! Perfectly located for Columbia families. Very clean and very spacious. Neighborhood was awesome, fun and delicious restaurants. Overall a great weekend!!

  • Reviewer: Mona

    Comments: Kevin is a wonderful, very accommodating host. Apartment looked exactly like in description . Very nice / safe location close to many amenities.

  • Reviewer: Spencer

    Comments: Was a very nice stay and nice place. Would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks again.

  • Reviewer: Verena

    Comments: Very central, spacious and clean flat. It was a very nice experience. Kev was always very helpful. We had a very good time.

  • Reviewer: Yaros

    Comments: The apartment was great! The location was very convenient for getting to Columbia. The environment was clean and welcoming. Kev met us late on Friday when we arrived and was very welcoming. I would definitely stay there again!

  • Reviewer: Ruben

    Comments: Kevin was an awesome host. Super helpful, attentive, and also very laid back. Was there to greet my friend and I on the first day, and showed us the room. His apt was as expected, in an awesome location. 15 min walk to Central Park, and a 10 min to the closest subway station. Also, very convenient that there happens to be a rite aid a couple blocks away. Can't go wrong, would check in here again if I were to come back.

  • Reviewer: Rizwan

    Comments: Had a great time staying in this apartment and Kev was cool. The apartment is exactly as described and clean. The subway wasn't far away either to go around town.

  • Reviewer: Brent

    Comments: This was a great, clean, spacious apartment that is in a good neighborhood and was convenient to everywhere we needed to go. I really enjoyed my stay and I would definitely recommend renting it. Kev was a good host and the check-in/check-out process went very smoothly. This place is an incredible value.

  • Reviewer: Grant

    Comments: My friend Maria and I were guests in Kev's West Harlem condominium this past week and were delighted with the entire experience. Kev was there to greet me when I arrived and we found everything we needed to make our stay a real pleasure. He had maps and brochures and the kitchen was totally set up for a full cooking experience. I loved it and would definitely return on my next NYC visit. Thanks Kev

  • Reviewer: Niels

    Comments: Prima appartement, op een goede ligging in. Goede uitvalsbasis voor de rest van de stad. Lekker ruim met alle faciliteiten die je nodig hebt.

  • Reviewer: Anna

    Comments: The apartment was spacious and super convenient- especially those needing access to Columbia U. Lovely park nearby, great walking area, and close to public transport, restaurants etc...A more residential feel, but still very city for those looking for both aspects. Place had a great kitchen and bathroom and the bed was super comfy. The living room was comfy too. Kev was helpful and available if anything came up.

  • Reviewer: Lin

    Comments: We had a great stay here in Harlem, very friendly neighborhood. Kevin was very friendly and welcoming. The apartment was exactly as described, very spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. 3 minute walk to the nearest metro stop, shops and restaurants. Very happy to have chosen this accommodation.

  • Reviewer: Marco

    Comments: We where a hour late but that was no problem with Kev. He welcomed us and explained everything very well. Kev is very helpful, friendly and made us feel welcome. The apartment is very spacious and clean. There are two bedrooms which was perfect so we both had our own bedroom. The bedroom both have a two person bed and airconditioning which was more then plenty. The living room is rather large with a big tv and a large couch and even a diner table. The kitchen is connected to the living room and has dishwasher and an washer/dryer. It's very clean and has everything you could possibly need. The bathroom is average by size but has a bath, toilet, sink and a good shower in the bath. The neighborhood is great! The apartment is located at the bottom of Harlem on a quiet and characterful street with a Metro station around the corner. Harlem is a great place to eat, especially chicken. And there are loads of good restaurants in this neighborhood. Overal, a good apartment and host located in a great neighborhood.

  • Reviewer: Charlene

    Comments: Well...he really didn't make us feel welcome! It was kinda of an awkward situation...maybe because we didn't arrive at 4:30p as we mentioned running late due to train connections, this should not have mattered though unless there was some place you needed to be, also I asked about check-out time and was told it was flexible...we had to ask questions on where we could grocery shop, coffee house, restaurant for dinner, etc. There was no book on what to do or see in the neighborhood, no directions to the subway, or using the condo appliances, etc. The bathroom and kitchen trash cans had not been emptied from the last guests, the refrigerator wasn't wiped cleaned of something that split, there was left over expired food in the refrigerator. It looked like the place hadn't been dusted in awhile. Also, this was extremely gross, the shower curtain was all mildewed!!!! These liners cost $2.00 if that and it's an easy fix! Also, mildew in the corners of the shower as well. I would imagine if you would like clients to return or spread word of mouth how great the place was, wouldn't you think that you would do a better job of the cleaning and up keep of your place? I asked about check-out time and was told no set time, so my son and I go into the city to return by 3:35p, and I mentioned this to Kev to be told well, I need to be in there between 2:30-3:00p to clean because the next guest arrive at 4pm!!!!! Yikes....had we known in advance than we would have planned our day differently! When we arrived back at the condo to retrieve our luggage, he was walking in with the next guests..the guest were more polite than Kev was, he wouldn't look at us or even acknowledge that we were there, didn't ask how our stay was...nothing! The new guests asked how our stay was and my son and I said great, you will like the neighborhood and they asked if we were taking off I said yes, we needed to catch our (Website hidden by Airbnb) which Kev upon walking by me had some comment to make just loud enough for me to hear!!! And it wasn't a nice comment either! So...whom ever sees this review I hope that you will take to heart what was said above and take action! I would consider staying again or recommending this condo, but I really have my doubts now.

    Comments: kevin is wonderful, welcoming, laid back and if we had any questions he replied immediately. appartment is exactly as described, 3 min. to next subway, short walk to central park, neighbourhood was awesome, delecious reataurants, bars, supermarket + everything else we needed. Overall more than a perfect stay!! we definitly recommend this place! thanks kevin!

  • Reviewer: Patrick

    Comments: Nous avons passés un excellent séjour dans l'appartement de Kevin. Il est dans un quartier calme, idéalement situé à proximité de restaurants, supérette (Best Market), pharmacie et surtout à moins de 500 m du métro. L'appartement est fidèle à la description donnée, vous trouverez tout ce qu'il vous faut (même un sèche cheveux!) et cerise sur le gâteau, le lit est d'un confort exceptionnel!! Encore un grand merci à Kev pour son accueil et sa patience malgré notre arrivée très tardive à plus de minuit. Nous recommandons fortement cet appartement.

  • Reviewer: Anne

  • Reviewer: Alysia

    Comments: We had a wonderful stay! The apartment was exactly as described. Kev went above and beyond for us the day we arrived. The location was perfect. Quick walk to the subway, store, restaurants and a Starbucks. We kept the windows open at night and it was pretty quiet. If we are ever in NYC again we will definitely check to see if this place is available. Thanks again Kev!

  • Reviewer: Terry

    Comments: Kevin was an awesome host telling us about places that were close by. The apartment was fabulous clean and had everything we needed and was so close to the subway which by the way is the only way to go when your in New York .We will return Kevin thank you once again

  • Reviewer: Adrienne

    Comments: Great place to stay- I was attending a conference at Columbia the location was perfect an easy 10 minute walk. I didn't realize the second bedroom didn't have a bed in it (my fault for not reading closely) but the couch in the living room folds out into a very comfy bed.

  • Reviewer: Christopher

    Comments: Kevin was very helpful in getting us into the place despite our changing schedule due to car issues. The condo is tastefully appointed with thoughtful touches throughout that made our stay very comfortable. Furthermore, whenever we had a question, Kevin got back to us pronto. Easy walks to Best Market Harlem (large grocery) and Metro. Our only caveat is to mention loud street music on the weekends that thankfully shut off around 9PM. If you play music or turn up the TV, it can be pretty much ignored. Kevin also made some wonderful suggestions for local eateries. All in all great "nesting" spot to stay while visiting NYC.

  • Reviewer: Deborah

    Comments: Great apartment! Kevin communicated promptly to answer all questions. Excellent location. Terrific grocery store just 2 blocks away. We did a lot of cooking and found the kitchen well equipped. The apartment was clean and roomy. Would definitely stay there again! Loved it.

  • Reviewer: Dominique

    Comments: Alles was perfect zoals de beschrijving een mooi ruim appartement met mooie keuken en kleine badkamer . Airco op de kamers was meer dan welkom bij dit warme weer. Kev was aanwezig bij aankomst en goed bereikbaar via sms . Er waren voldoende propere lakens en handdoeken aanwezig. Ik zou dit appartement zeker aanraden aan mijn vrienden. Er is een goede supermarkt juist om de hoek en op 5 min ben je aan de metro dus eigenlijk ideaal gelegen om alles te bezoeken. Bij het uitchecken was Kev niet aanwezig, omdat er mensen op het laatste moment hadden afgezegd en mochten we gewoon de sleutels achterlaten en blijven tot we terug vertrokken. Het was een leuke ervaring met air bnb

    Comments: Kev answered quickly. Nice big appartment (for Manhattan!) with a room with a nice bed, another small one with an air mattress and a sofa bed in the living room. Close to the metro and central park. Calm area. We had a nice journey!

  • Reviewer: Simon

    Comments: Kev is a very professional host. He made himself available to get us the keys, sent sms and was easy to reach. He provided an excellent orientation and walk through the appartment that wasnt rushed but also didnt take too long. The appartment was in imaculate condition and the bed sheets were so fresh and soft that I just wanted to lie down and catch some Zzzzz straight away. The location is excellent a short subway ride to anywhere and a very nice neighbourhood. All in all I was extremely happy with my AirBnB experience.

  • Reviewer: Guillermo

    Comments: Kev was great, nice and there if we needed anything. The apartment was also nice, big and luminous. The location is just 3 blocks from a sub that leads you to midtown. Recommended place.

  • Reviewer: Radu-Stefan

    Comments: Our plane arrived late but Kev was very communicative and we had no problems. We picked up the key from a KeyCaffe. Kev made sure we arrived well and provided us with all the necessary instructions. The place is situated in a quite zone, close to Central Park. You can find a subway station 300 meters near the apartment so you can get really fast to downtown. Thank you Kev, I would definitely come back!

    Comments: The host canceled this reservation 51 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

  • Reviewer: Sara

    Comments: Die Wohnung entspricht genau der Beschreibung und ist auf den Bildern gut dargestellt. Es ist ausreichend Platz für mehrere Personen mit einem großen Bett (sehr weich!), großem Schlafsofa und einer Luftmatratze. Für uns hätte es etwas sauberer sein können, wir haben allerdings einen sehr hohen Sauberkeitsstandard. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt! Die Lage ist fantastisch, nah an der Ubahn mit super Anschluss zur Innenstadt in einer richtigen Wohngegend, wo man wenig Touristen sieht. Der nahegelegende Park ist toll und es gibt einen großen Supermarkt in direkter Umgebung, ausserdem tolle Weinläden und viele Lokale. Wer gerne läuft kann die Innenstadt Manhattans sogar zu Fuß erreichen, indem man den gesamten Central Park abläuft (ca. 1.5 h, aber lohnenswert!). Die Kommunikation mit Kev war unkompliziert, er hat immer schnell reagiert und uns bei der Ankunft alles gezeigt. Insgesamt kann ich die Wohnung auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen! Vor allem für Leute die gern nah am Geschehen sind ohne mitten drin im Trubel zu sein ist das eine ideale Unterkunft. Wir haben uns schon nach kürzester Zeit richtig 'zu Hause' in 'unserm' Viertel gefühlt.

    Comments: Kev's apartment was lovely. It was a nicely renovated, spacious and very clean apartment with many windows throughout! The bed was very comfortable and Kev had everything I needed for my weekend stay in NY. Kev met me at the apartment when I arrived, made sure I had everything I needed and gave me the rundown on things in the apartment. He made himself available if I needed anything or had any questions. I would certainly stay here again!

    Comments: Everything was great. The flat is even better in reality. Kev was discret but very reactive. Next time i'll be happy to come again in his place.

  • Reviewer: Melissa

    Comments: The pictures of the interior don't do the apartment justice. It is spacious, with high ceilings, comfortable, fresh-feeling furniture and open spaces. Kev was an excellent host and I would highly recommend this location, especially if your trip involves being involved in / on the Columbia campus.

  • Reviewer: Daniel

    Comments: If you have the chance to stay here, take it!!

  • Reviewer: Sean

    Comments: This has been one of my favorite AirBnB stays to date. Kev wasn't lying when he quoted the proximity of the subway in either direction. Also, I've stayed in some spots that have quoted certain amenities, but did not follow through. (i.e. running hot water, wifi, working washer/dryer, etc.) This put all those to shame. The apartment is beautifully heated and insulated. I found myself removing covers when it was only 38 degrees outside. Half the time I didn't realize I had fallen asleep due to the comfort of the bed. The entire apartment is well lit and the water in both kitchen and bathroom heats and cools within seconds. Overall, I greatly enjoyed my stay here. It was nice to stay in an area that was just far enough away from any tourist traps, but still had extremely easy access to all the events and places I wanted to attend. I would stay here again for sure and I rate this apartment 5 stars! Thanks again!

  • Reviewer: Larragh And Jo

    Comments: Kev is s very welcoming and friendly host. Easy to work with. The flat is nice, bright and overall clean. The location is good. Close to subway. The only thing that was slightly disappointing is that it's a 1 bed room (not 2) flat. The second bedroom had no proper bed. There was a a air mattress rolled up in one corner. So basically one of us had to sleep on the sofa. We didn't mind to much, but we expected 2 rooms. So unless you really want a 2 bedroom flat, this is a nice spot !

    Comments: Si vous avez la chance de rester chez Kevin sauter sur cette occasion en or. Le condo est vraiment bien aménagé, avec tout le nécessaire pour vous y sentir comme chez vous. Le quartier est génial et près de tout. C'est un point de départ excellent pour visiter toute la ville.

  • Reviewer: Hanyu

    Comments: It's pretty nice

  • Reviewer: Susanne

    Comments: The accomodation was just as descriped. It´s a light and spacious condo which covered all our needs during our stay. Both sleepingrooms have windows to the backyard (which was important to me) and it was quiet for sleeping. We appriciated the closeness to Colombia University as well as to public transport and Central park. The neigbourhood felt safe and we could find restaurants and groceries nearby. The communication with Kev was very good. He was very kind and helpsom as our flight was cancelled due to snowy weather and we came with one day delay. Kev was so great not charging the first night we couldn´t make. Thank you again for that. We really enjoyed our stay at Kev´s and can reccommend this appartment.

    Comments: We stayed three nights at Kev's place with our two small kids (ages 3 and 1). It worked out well for us: we put the kids in the two bedrooms so that we could use the rest of the place (living room, kitchen, and bathroom) after they went to bed. The bed in the main bedroom is quite comfortable, and the fold-out bed in the living room is decent. The air mattress is an air mattress, but our 3-year-old was fine with it :) Kev's place exactly matches his description and photos. It's pretty spacious for Manhattan, with great light coming in through the 4 large windows in the living room. Apart from the furniture it's fairly bare-bones: you've got all the essentials in the kitchen and bathroom, but not much else (no tissues, for example), so it doesn't feel as much like a "home" as some other places we've stayed. But we had everything we needed and enjoyed eating in for dinner as a family. It was a nice, clean, comfortable place to stay for three days. The neighborhood is great: tons of great shops/restaurants all around you, and a quick walk to the subway, Morningside Park (including multiple great playgrounds for the kids), and Central Park. The street has moderate noise from buses, trucks, and the occasional siren, but it's pretty muffled in the bedrooms. We had our car with us and had good luck finding parking on the surrounding side streets. Kev was communicative and check-in/check-out were smooth.

    Comments: We loved the set-up and decor. Kitchen was big enough for us to cook comfortably. Everything worked well besides the washing machine/dryer. Not too noisy. The stairways were lacking in cleanliness.

  • Reviewer: Megan

    Comments: I'm a little biased because I used to live here, but this is one of my favorite neighborhoods in new york. It has great access to bus and subways, and is even reasonably walkable to the museums on the UES and UWS. Kev's apartment was exactly as presented and perfect for a weekend trip. As mentioned by other visitors, the bed was super comfy. I'd recommend this place to my own friends and family.

  • Reviewer: Christian

    Comments: Très bonne location, bien placée, sympa. Seul bémol, la deuxième chambre n'est pas équipée d'un vrai lit ce qui oblige à dormir dans le canapé lit du salon.

  • Reviewer: Arturo

    Comments: Kev's place is very convenient if you want to be in that area. Easy access to public transportation, parks, and Columbia U. Apartment was clean and had all the basic items you'd expect. I would definitely stay there again.

  • Reviewer: Anne

    Comments: We loved this place! It's definitely a great value. Totally renovated, high ceilings, tall windows, wood floors. Tastefully done with an urban, minimilast feel. Spacious for a city apartment. Loved the location too. Had fun checking out eateries on Frederick Douglass Blvd (recommend Lidos and Cafe Frederick), enjoyed Morningside Park, caught a show at the Apollo, and easily got around with Uber and the subway. Kev was helpful and responsive. We highly recommend it!

    Comments: O espaço de Kev é maravilhoso, muito limpo e espaçoso. Adorei a decoração, a qualidade da roupa de cama e banho. Excelente estadia. O bairro é bem residencial e familiar.

    Comments: Friendly and nice, more attention to cleaning.

  • Reviewer: Gregory

    Comments: The size of apt is very good. Just like on photos. Communications was easy and no problem. Kev was a good host. Everything was good except small food roaches in the kitchen. I hate it. Thats why we couldnt cook and eat there and tried to avoid kitchen at all. I know it's New York and probably its a common problem but still that was the only downside. If you're ok with it, its a good choice.

  • Reviewer: Sergio

    Comments: About the Host: Kev is a great host, he is friendly, informing and understanding. You won't run into any trouble with him. About the place: The place is very well located if you are going to be most of the time in Manhattan. You will be 20 to 30 minutes away by metro to most of NYCs tourism hotspots.

  • Reviewer: Gonzalo

    Comments: The place is in a very convenient location in Harlem close to the 116th and 125th subway stations. It is very comfortable and large for New York standers and looks like it has been renovated recently. The common areas of the building could be improved and cleaner, but that does not detract from the experience once you are in the apartment . The communication with the host was very good. The check in and check out were easy . I will definitely come back next time I am New York.

  • Reviewer: Peter

    Comments: I stayed at Kev's place for a visit to Columbia University. It is within walking distance, or a short cab ride. The apartment is very spacious, can easily host 4 people, and probably a few more. Clean and comfortable. I didnt get to meet Kev, but communication was smooth. The key could be picked up from a dropbox around the corner. Neighborhood is fine, although at night I preferred a cab over a walk.

  • Reviewer: Tennison & Ginelle

    Comments: Rare find in NYC, an apartment with windows on 3 sides! I spent an entire week here, mostly inside of the apartment due to a work project. I loved sitting in the window sills and watching people walk by, and the fact that there was a grocery store coffee shop and metro station just a block and a half away. Perfect location and floor plan.

    Comments: 不错的体验,在117街和曼哈顿街交汇口,交通方便,公寓内部不错,入口处和楼梯稍旧,房东很nice!该有的生活用品都齐全。

    Comments: Superbe appartement tout confort, rue très tranquille, très proche du métro et des bus et pas trop éloigné des musées. Un vrai plaisir. Kev était présent à notre arrivée et nous a donné les indications nécessaires.

  • Reviewer: Martin

    Comments: I recomend this apartment for a stay in NYC. Close to the subway and some good restaurants. The apartment is in a quiet neigbourhood. It is well maintained and well kept.

  • Reviewer: Katherine

    Comments: We really enjoyed Kevin's place in Morningside Heights. Chose this area to minimize driving in NYC, but easy to get around via subway and that worked out great. Very quiet street and was able to find on street parking fairly easily for all 3 nights (street cleaning rules require you to move it every couple of days). Two subway lines located within a few blocks. Quiet neighborhood, but neighbors hanging out on the stoops give it a nice and safe vibe. Check out 116th street around the corner and all the African restaurants and stores! Would definitely stay at Kevin's again.

  • Reviewer: Eli

    Comments: Kevin was informative and his place was exactly as presented. In a really good location and we went to one of his recommended places (st. John the divine's cathedral) and it was great. Would definitely stay again.

  • Reviewer: Sanborn

    Comments: The apartment is large and sunny. The neighborhood is mostly quiet, close to the subway and Columbia/Barnard, and elegant. Kev was very easy to work with.

    Comments: Super appartement, propre, 300 mètres du metro et commerces, quartier sans problème 20 minutes en metro de Times Square et 500 metres de central Park Nord et Harlem

  • Reviewer: Fabio

    Comments: I stayed at Kev's place for 1 week with wife and 5yo daughter and it has been absolutely great! The apartment is very nice and comfortable and equipped with all you need and Kev keeps it very clean and in great general conditions. Everything went incredibly smooth: super easy arrangements for keys pickup and drop and Kev has always been available and quick to reply for any questions. Highly recommended!!

  • Reviewer: Shawn

    Comments: We were visiting my brother who lives nearby, so Kev's place worked out perfectly. The apartment was more than enough for my wife and I, but you could probably fit up to 4 people in there, no problem. Apartment was clean, Kev was friendly and accessible and the location was perfect. If you're looking for a place to stay while visiting New York, I highly recommend staying here. We'll definitely be back.

  • Reviewer: Mary

    Comments: Kevin was very accommodating and utilized great communication skills. When we arrived we found a clean, warm apartment with a candle glowing in the bathroom! The apartment is very well located, just a short walk to the bus, subway, Central park and Morningside park.

  • Reviewer: Johnny

    Comments: My partner and I departed from California and arrived in New York around 10am. Our check-in time was around noon. We asked Kevin ahead of time if he can accommodate us by letting us drop off our luggage before checking in and he was okay with it. He really saved us the hassle finding a place/storage for our luggage. The airbnb is located next to a subway which made traveling very easy to do. Also, there were a lot of Deli's around for a quick bite if you don't want to cook. The airbnb is clean and very simple yet nice looking. Kevin is a really nice guy. Kevin gave us local tips which made our traveling easy and fun. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Kevin !

  • Reviewer: Elena

    Comments: The host is very accommodating and has great communication! This is a great place very close to public transit. It was nice not being in the middle of downtown craziness but still close enough to visit if you wanted to. The place is clean and comfortable and the directions and communication were very clear.

  • Reviewer: Qiaolei

    Comments: I think Kev should hire a professional photographer. This home is much nicer than the photos showed! The location is great, and the street is quiet. Everything is excellent!

  • Reviewer: Katherine

    Comments: The apartment was good, spacious enough for 4 people. There are alot of stairs in the building to get to the apartment so if you have alot of luggage it may be a problem for some people. The stairwell to the apartment was not very clean but the apartment was fine. The area is very safe to walk around at night with some great restaurants & nightlife. Close to subway.

  • Reviewer: Philippe

    Comments: Appartement très spacieux . La présence du WIFI est incontestablement utile pour le voyageur qui veut préparer ses visites de la journée, et maintenir le contact avec la Famille. Il est bien situé. A proximité d'une station de métro, dans un quartier et un immeuble plutôt calmes. Pas de surprise particulière sauf le détecteur incendie qui s'est mis en branle , suite à un peu de fumée ( mais vraiment sans trop ) provenant du grille pain. Nous avions le plein usage des locaux , et avons beaucoup apprécié. Nous recommandons cette solution de logement

  • Reviewer: Alex

    Comments: Kev's place was awesome. The pictures he provides make the place look great, and it is even better in person. You won't find a nicer place to stay for the value on Manhattan. It is two blocks from the local train and five from the express train, so you can get anywhere in the city quickly and easily. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the city!

  • Reviewer: Jennifer

    Comments: Kevin was a great host. He replied very quickly to any questions (before and during our stay). Provided tips for local attractions, grocery stores, etc. Condo was convenient to a few train stations. Overall, we had a very enjoyable trip to NYC.

    Comments: We had such a great stay! The condo is really close to the subway station and there are a lot of great places very close by! Everything looked as in the pictures. We also found a parking spot just in front of the door for all weekend! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone coming to NY. The only thing I would have liked to know is that the best way to communicate with Kev is by texts (or What'sapp) instead of going through Airbnb.

The apartment is very clean and nicely updated. Enough space for 3+ people to sleep comfortably. The air conditioner kept the place nice and cool for the hot weekend!! Finding the hot water in the shower was tricky at first but once you figure it out you know it works! I’d definitely recommend this place and use it again! Thanks for letting us stay!

    Comments: Very spacious place in an up and coming neighborhood. Easy access to Columbia University and quick subway ride to midtown. Kev met me in person and was a very responsive host. Overall experience was positive. The place was not ready at the stated check in time (1.5h delay), some parts were dirty (hasn't been dusted in a while, shower curtain was quite dirty, etc). Washer/dryer did not work properly, although Kev did warn me that there might be issues

  • Reviewer: Stephanie

    Comments: Great space and great location! Kevin was an awesome host and made sure to communicate prior to our travel so we didn’t have any trouble getting from the airport to the air b&b. He made himself available easily by text and phone. He also kept his space clean and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would do it again.

  • Reviewer: Tiffany

    Comments: Kev’s place was more than we expected. It was great to have a full apartment to stay in, verses the hotels we normally stay at. The bed was comfortable and we slept great. Only issue was finding the sweet spot for hot water/water pressure in the shower. Check in/out was easy. It is on the third floor, so careful with how many bags you have to carry up and down.

  • Reviewer: Mandy

    Comments: My husband and I stayed at Kev's place for a short trip. It was a great location and price. Super close to 2 different subways.

  • Reviewer: Chris

    Comments: Location is perfect. It is close to the subway that runs along 8th Avenue, giving easy access to the whole of Manhattan. There are excellent restaurants within mere feet of the apartment. Central Park and Columbia are within walking distance. There were some maintenance issues as it is an older building but Kev offered solutions and quick responses to these issue. Kev made check-in easy and provided excellent communication and information.

  • Reviewer: Tiffany

    Comments: good location and nice and cosy appartment

  • Reviewer: Kay

    Comments: Kevin was a very good host and met me at the apartment to show me around and give me the keys. He was very gracious and even allowed me to drop off my bags early and officially check in later. On the first night, which was quite cold, I experienced a notorious New York loss of heat. I alerted him in the morning and he came to help and determined the cause was a building wide boiler shutdown. He was very attentive to the issue and purchased space heaters for a temporary solution. The apartment was in a convenient location for upper west side locales and close to subway stations and bus lines. It is a short walk to the cathedral and Central Park and many good restaurants and shops There was plenty of space for 2 or more guests with 2 bedrooms and a pullout sofa in the living room. It had a decent sized kitchen for cooking meals if one chose to. The only down side is it is on the third floor of a brownstone (without an elevator) so I would take that into consideration when booking if not traveling light or one has an inability to climb stairs. All in all, it was a good experience and I would stay there again.
