We stayed at the apartment for 8 days in autumn 2016. All in all, it was a wonderful stay due to a perfect apartment and perfect hosts. The very modern apartment is really beautiful and elegant, totally clean and well located in Harlem (around 10 minutes walkway to subway station and approximately 15 minutes via metro to Columbus Circle in Midtown; max. 5 minutes walkway to different options to go out and to buy everyday commodities). In addition, the apartment is very big and includes a beautiful terrace with a garden.
Stephen welcomed us personally and offer us to answer every of our questions and to "navigate" us in Harlem to the next subway station or to the supermarket. Moreover, he gave us a lot of information about near and nice bars and restaurants in Harlem. Because we were very busy during our stay in NY, we had only the chance to meet Doris at our "check out". Nonetheless, we stayed always in touch via email. Both were absolutly friendly and likeable and took care of us during our entire stay!
Contrary to our prior Airbnb hosts, Doris and Stephen bought us plenty of vegan food (e.g. bagels, cornflakes, noodles and sauces, sweets, ...) for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as different beverages (e.g. soy/almond milk, water, wine, beer, ginger ale, orange juice, coffee, ...) for a few days so we did not have to care on our first days.
Doris and Stephen were the best Airbnb hosts we've had! We really recommend the apartment and the hosts for a stay in New York and we would be happy to stay at Doris' and Stephen's apartment again during our next visit to New York.
Thank you very much Doris and Stephen!
