Brinton's place was very stylish and has been updated very nicely. As everyone has mentioned, the location is great. It's just 2 minutes walk to the subway entrance, as well as Whole Foods and CVS. We decided to stay in Harlem because of the rich ethnic history the neighborhood has, and it didn't disappoint whatsoever. The apartment is right above Harlem Shake which has live music on Friday nights, so it does tend to get loud around 8PM. The only complaint that we had was the noise from the street. You could hear cars passing by, people talking loudly on the sidewalk below and the music playing from Harlem Shake. It only bothered us the first night, as we got used to it the remaining 3 nights we stayed there. Overall, unless you're an extremely light sleeper, this apartment was a great place to stay. Brinton made it very easy to check in and out, and we had a great time in NYC.
