Guirlaine's Harlem Gem more than lives up to its name. The apartment is clean and roomy and comfortably furnished, and filled with engaging and colorful art. The beds are comfortable and the towels plush and generously large. Guirlaine is a wonderful host, and communication was easy. The apartment is walking close to subway lines, and there are some really good restaurants in the immediate area (Home Sweet Harlem on Amsterdam may be my new favorite breakfast spot, wonderful shrimp and grits, and Lido, a little more than a mile down Frederick Douglass Boulevard, was terrific for a Saturday brunch. While Street parking is a challenge, the MV Parking lot (entrance on 137th off of Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard) was not too far (and if you call ahead they'll have the car waiting for you when you arrive) and not overly expensive (in relative NY terms, but that's the price of being in NYC). Our stay at Guirlaine's Harlem Gem was great and I would not hesitate to recommend it b
