The walk to the apartment from the 2 & 3 train is so close, just 4 blocks and easy to navigate. I think people get nervous about the NY subway system but it was super convenient and made our trip all the more enjoyable, especially being so easily accessible from Dena's apartment. Dena was super accommodating, even with our late arrival. Her welcoming and inviting spirit is truly a breath of fresh air--she's a NY native & has great recommendations for things to do & how to get around. The apartment is awesome, Harlem is incredible (had no worries about safety, it's very up and coming! Gave us a real local taste), and NY was fabulous. Would 100% stay here again.
And I won't dwell on it too much because Dena would be awesome without them, but the cats are a huge bonus & we loved them so much!
All in all, an awesome stay for our first time in NY!
