My stay with Agnes was short. Only two days with work in the mix indeed felt like a NY minute. For this reason, I am most grateful for finding Agnes, the perfect host with a deep passion for Harlem. Agnes graciously accommodated my early morning arrival and was on hand to send me off early AM on day 3…full of information until the last moment. Her detailed transportation info was a lifesaver – always take the Express Train!
As other guests have mentioned, her home is immaculately clean, comfortable and looks exactly as advertised. I had full use the kitchen and living area. It was like having my private apartment in Manhattan. The snacks and healthy breakfast options are endless – it is over and beyond what was required. Agnes is full of energy; her passion for Harlem shines through in her deep knowledge of the history of the neighbourhood, making the streets come alive and encouraging guests to stroll through this very safe section of Harlem; join the locals for some take out at the Famous Fish Market, where countless jazz greats have passed through; enjoy your treat at the Jackie Robinson Park, steps from Agnes’ Place. Make the time, give the neighbourhood a chance and you won’t regret it.
Thank you Agnes. Muchas, muchas gracias from the bottom of my heart.
