We had a week in Julia’s apartment. It was so spacious and clean. Perfect for our family if 4 with 2 teenagers. The beds were so comfortable. Central heating was great, the kitchen well equipped. WiFi was good as long as you weren’t using it in the back room. Around a 10 min walk to 125th/Lenox st subway, to get the 2/3 train to midtown in 20mins or lower Manhattan 30-40. We felt very safe walking around Harlem in the day but not so much at night, so we avoided it. Most days we were out sight seeing so we were home by nightfall anyways. Lots of restaurants in the area do uber eats so we didn’t need to walk around late. The subway stop is close to whole foods as well, easy to stop and grab some food for dinner. Shake shack is a very short walk away. A few nights we were out late, we got off the train on 96th street which seems a safer nighttime neighborhood and caught a Lyft home at around $15-20. The streets around Harlem are so pretty, lots of rows of brownstones and canopies of trees overhanging the streets. We recommend a little pizza place on Lenox called sottocasa Pizzeria Harlem. It is in a basement of a brownstone and so delicious. Also had uber eats from Sylvia’s, also delicious. We enjoyed our stay at Julia’s, it was so much more affordable than staying in the touristy areas. We really felt like we had an authentic NYC experience.
