We stayed at Mathew’s fantastic apartment in West Harlem for 7 nights. Mathew is a great host and a very nice guy. He lives upstairs and was on hand anytime we needed him. He gave us a very warm welcome and some great advice on the subway, local area and things to do when we arrived.
The area felt very very safe, even coming back late at night. The apartment is very close to two subway stations (three if you include the short walk to 125 st which the express stops at) that get you down town and back extremely quickly. There are grocery shops local should you want to eat in. We can’t stress enough how safe the area felt.
From the minute we arrived we felt very at home. The apartment is very quiet, much bigger than it looks in the photos and very well equipped. There is plenty of hanging space for clothes in the wardrobes and we found the bed to be very comfy. We both slept better than we do at home!
The kitchen is well equipped with cooker, large fridge, washing machine/dryer and pretty much everything you need to cook for yourself. We absolutely loved the double toaster!
The living room is comfortable and has a large TV, sofas and dining table.
The bathroom is nice and clean and the shower is brilliant with lots of hot water.
There is a lovely sunny back garden which was great to have breakfast in and plan our day. We were even visited by a Blue Jay while we had breakfast.
We had an absolutely lovely time in Mathew’s apartment and a fantastic time in New York. We are already planning a trip back there next year and would love to stay in Mathew’s apartment again.
