Leesa was unfortunately traveling so we didn't get to meet her but she made up for it with a superb effort in communication. The apartment was immaculate and very nicely stocked. Leesa responded to our messages promptly with tips about where to shop and eat in the neighbourhood. We can highly recommend Red Rooster for a great night out - we celebrated Rosalie's birthday there with some soul food and a few Obamatini's.

It's Harlem and the heart of a big city so there's street noise and sirens but we never found the area at all intimidating. Two different subway lines are a short walk making it easy to get downtown.
