We spent a wonderful week in New York. Ale and her family welcomed us very warmly in her apartment. To be honest, the pictures fall short of the real coziness and comfort of this place: while the neighborhood is very lively, the apartment itself is perfectly equipped, very modern and has a unique, wonderful style. We have been offered coffee and fresh fruits upon our arrival, even travel plugs and a hair dryer have been thought off. We slept very well, even with the windows wide open at night as the backyard they are facing to is very quite - even during Harlem nights.

The apartment is very close to Central park, so perfect, if you are a runner (11 km trip around Central park) or just want to enjoy a nice walk. If you go out to discover Harlem a bit, you learn that the surrounding area has played a huge role in African-American cultural history. There are some nice restaurants (and especially cafés) around, and we found the connection to public transportation was good (especially if you understand the difference between local and express downtown trains, and if you try to avoid east-west connections). Only once or twice we would have liked it to be slightly closer to midtown, when we wanted to rent a Citi-Bike and we found that none were available more north than Central Park.

Thank you for this giving us the opportunity to use your apartment as a starting point for our discoveries. It was just perfect!
