We stayed at Kara's place over 3 days during May while visiting NYC. The check in process way really easy and Kara made sure to contact us to let us know there was a lock being repaired before we arrived. Kara's place is in a gated community with a nice playground, park in the middle. The apartment was spacious and clean (towels, soap, shampoo all provided). The air-conditioning was very welcome as it was very warm out during our stay. The location is excellent, only a short walk to the 2 and 3 lines, with plenty of restaurants within a few blocks (Kara has a very helpful list of suggested places to try in the apartment) . Would highly recommend if you are planning on staying in the Harlem area. We found it to be a great base from which to explore the city. Thanks again Kara!
