The description and the pictures do not do this place justice!! When we walked in, we immediately noticed all of the small touches that were put into their place. They left us a welcome care package with towels, bottled water, and toiletries. They put flowers all over the apartment which brought a bunch of colors to our stay. The apartment was sparkling clean (And really big for what you’d get for that price in NYC) and we had soo much room to spread out and move into the the apartment for the weekend. We made full use of their decently sized kitchen, chill living area )with a huge flat screen), family-style dining area, and bar ware! The apartment gets a lot of light and is absolutely beautiful at all times during the day (thanks to their modern lighting fixtures).
Alex and Yoly’s place is tucked in a quiet, convenient, and happening part of Harlem (all rolled into one). Other that rush hour, the apartment is very quiet. We were situated a 5-7 minute walk from the 6 train and the 2/3 train, so getting into lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens is no problem at all! There are also plenty of shops, bodegas, and grocery stores to get anything you have forgotten. The people in the neighborhood make sure you’re taken care of and if they know you’re not from there, they’ll welcome you.
I would rate them 5 stars a million times. Thanks for making our bday weekend a special one!
