Muy buen departamento , con todo lo necesario para pasar unos maravillosos días en Nueva York,a media cuadra del metro, los dueños muy cordiales , volvería siempre, muchas gracias Kakuna

Eine fantastische Stadt New York City mit viel Bewunderungen und ergreifenden Momenten - das "Modern Studio Apartment Historic Harlem Brownstone" hat uns beim Erleben dieser Ereignisse sehr geholfen. Es war für diese Zeit unser Zuhause und Rückzugspunkt, dank der tollen vorab Hilfe und jederzeitigen Unterstützung durch Kakuna und Fred - herzlichen Dank dafür! Die Lage ist sehr ruhig, die angegebene Ausstattung war einwandfrei vorhanden. Die Abbildungen vom Apartment stimmen 100%ig überein und es ist sehr sauber. Die Subway 135th street war in 2 Gehminuten erreichbar. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten liegen im Umfeld von ca. 5-15 Gehminuten entfernt. Wer ein Mietauto hat, kann im Umkreis gut parken - bitte auf die Straßenschilder achten, da die Straßenreinigung gewissen Zeiten hat und die Wasserhydranten freihalten, ggfs. gibt es in der Nähe ein 24h-Parkhaus zu ca. 20USD pro Tag.

The owner is super fantastic. Kakuna will make sure you have everything you need and only half a block to the subway. Rooms are private and comfortable. I love this location. I feel like I live in the neighborhood. The area is very safe at night.

Muy recomendable, comodo, muy limpio y bien equipado. Kakuna es divina y siempre estuvo muy atenta a lo que necesitaramos. El barrio muy tranquilo y a una cuadra del subte que te deja en el centro. Definitivamente volveria a ir

The studio was just as described. It was a perfect place in a quiet neighbourhood. The subway takes you downtown in 20 min. and there are plenty of shops nearby. The hosts are there to help you in every way they can. Lovely place , I felt home.

Todo lo q puedo decir sobre Mi estadia en casa de Kakuna es excelente. Ella y su familia son encantadores, nos atendieron muy bien y nos ayudaron en todo. El apartamento es hermoso, comodo, muy bien ubicado y el barrio es muy tranquilo y seguro. Sin duda alguna lo volveríamos a elegir si volviéramos a NY. Me hubiera quedado alli para siempre.

We stayed here for 5 nights and we're thrilled about the location - literally 1 minutes walk to 135th street train. Apartment was just as pictured - clean, tidy and very private. Great to have the convenience of a kitchen and also a washing machine. Apartment is fully self contained. The owner Kahuna is very friendly and helpful with any local information you may need. Why pay Mid town prices when you can stay in Harlem for half the price but be downtown quickly and cheaply any time day or night.

As a couple of retirees we weren't sure what to expect from our stay at this rental. It's the first time we've stayed in this type of accommodation and our friends in our retirement village were horrified that we were staying in Harlem. However, we refused to pay the exorbitant rates in New York itself and after a bit of searching we were impressed with the reviews on this property on Trip Advisor. Our correspondence with the owner, Kakuna, was great and she sent us heap of info after we made our booking. We had just completed a 3 week bus tour and during this time we stayed in some very upmarket hotels. This rental was not 5 star so don't expect that. It is, however, clean, well stocked with everything you need for your stay including eggs, juice, milk, butter and bread. It is super safe with deadlocks on 2 entry doors. But we should not have had any fear about the neighbourhood. It was in a quiet, genteel street. Kakuna says that all the neighbours in the block know each other and we had no problems walking around at night - even travelling on the subways. The subway is a couple of minutes walk from the rental and it will take you to anywhere in New York. It cost us US$32 for a weekly pass. Be careful if you buy the pass. Either have the right money or $40 max as the machine only gives max $9 change. Get yourself a city map, a trains map and a bus map if you can as soon as possible. We got ours in an info booth in Times Square. Also think twice about getting the City Saver pass. As seniors, we would have been better off doing our own thing. It's supposed to give you priority entry to attractions but we only found this to be true at the 9/11 museum. We weren't there at peak times so there were no queues to jump. See more by checking out other reviews. Best attraction for us was the 9/11 museum. Worst, the Guggenheim Museum. Half was closed and what was on display was weird. Helps to see doco on site before you see the exhibits. Will help you to understand why you are in a large, bare room, looking at old cupboards. They had some great old Masters tho. Back to the rental. Kakuna was there to greet us when we arrived and spent some time with us understanding what we wanted to see in the 4 days and making suggestions on how to achieve this. It felt like we were staying in a friend's basement with our own entrance. Be aware that the bed is a single with a trundle bed underneath. That was fine with us and we knew about this configuration.

I think the title says it all, everything is awesome! From the location (really quiet, safe, and half a block from the subway), the apartment (clean, cozy and with EVERYTHING you could ever need, Im not kidding here, you have razors, shampoo, moisturizer, first aid kit, umbrellas, hair dryer, soap for your clothes, EVERYTHING!), the owner (Kakuna is the best owner we have ever found in all our travels, she received us with milk, eggs, juices, bread, everything you need, she helped us in planning our days, receiving our packages, and giving us helpful tips from where to eat to where to buy). When we will return to NYC we will go back there without any doubts. Thanks for all Kakuna!

Parmi les points positifs: l'appartement était propre, pas de mauvaises surprises par rapport à ce que nous attendions. Le studio est vraiment à deux pas du métro et pas trop éloigné du centre de Manhattan. A notre arrivée, agréable surprise quant aux produits ménagers type éponge, produit vaisselle, papier WC ... qui étaient déjà fournis donc pas besoin de racheter tout cela! La propriétaire répond plutôt rapidement aux messages et bien que nous ne l'ayons pas rencontrée physiquement, celle-ci a été très sympathique. Parmi les points négatifs: le studio est situé sous ce que l'on peut appeler chez nous une sorte de sous sol, donc pas du tout de lumière du jour car il n'y a qu'une seule fenêtre à travers laquelle on ne voit que les escaliers et les poubelles, on se sent donc un peu enterré. Autres bémols, studio un peu bruyant et surtout la chaleur, il faisait vraiment très chaud dans l'appartement et bien qu'il y avait la clim, celle-ci était tellement bruyante que nous ne la laissions que le temps de refroidir la pièce puis nous l'arrêtions. Autre remarque: concernant le lit, il s'agissait de lits gigognes donc pour un couple comme pour nous ça été lit à part car le lit du haut et du bas étaient trop petits pour 2! Mais cela peut satisfaire d'autres personnes qui ne veulent pas dormir ensemble! Dans l'ensemble nous avons passé un bon séjour, pour le prix cela reste correct. Si l'on cherche un logement pas trop loin du centre et du métro avec du confort correct, c'est une bonne adresse.
