We have just spent 30 days in Marie's beautiful apartment and were made to feel very welcome with a thoughtful welcome pack of food and drinks. As we arrived just before Christmas, Marie had decorated the apartment, even providing a lovely Christmas Tree.
There were many brochures, maps and guide books, as well as advice regarding local bars, restaurants, churches etc. This all helped make our stay in New York City all the more enjoyable.
Our adult sons joined us for the last week, and there was plenty of room for them.
We prefer to prepare most of own meals and found the kitchen to be well equipped.
The photos of the apartment don't do it justice. The ceilings are 10ft high, and although the apartment is skinny (as is a NY custom), it is well designed, and the bedrooms, and bathrooms were quite roomy. There was plenty of room in the lounge to see the TV, and get comfortable. The Lounge sofa coverts into a very large and comfortable queen bed. Marie is a lovely person, and very eager to see that your every comfort is catered for. The heating was superb. We recommend it without reservation. Harlem is a safe neighbourhood. It is being gentrified, and we felt quite safe the entire time. The public transport is ideal. Buses, as well as an express subway close by.
