This charming one bedroom "garden-level" (ground floor with several steps down to enter) apartment was exactly as pictured. We loved being in quiet and transitioning Harlem (just east of Hamilton Heights) and being so close to mass transit (two subway lines just 5 - 10 minute walk away and multiple bus lines right around the corner.) The owners have really taken the time to consider their guests' needs and comfort in both big and small ways. We so appreciated the washer/dryer right in the unit, the complete eat-in kitchen, the little white notes taped around the apartment giving us "hints" and "nuances" about the apartment, the comfortable bed, the iron/ironing board, the hairdryer, hangers and a hanging shelf unit in the double closet, the abundance of linens/towels/kitchen supplies, the renovated bathroom (with plenty of hot water and a wonderful shower head), the carefully prepared "binder of neighborhood suggestions", etc. The apartment is secure/safe, clean and fresh and there is even a lovely daylight view out to the not currently usable backyard (so precious in NYC)! The ceiling fans were great, and if we'd been there in the summer, it was comforting to see that the owners had also installed modern air conditioning units. Erin was an outstanding communicator through the entire process. I would recommend this apartment without hesitation!
