We stayed at John's apt for 5 nights and it was very homely. The apartment itself was tidy and John was very very welcoming. The apt had all the essentials, including extra soft towels! The apt is only a short walk away to the subway so it was very convenient for us to buy a weekly pass to travel to tourist destinations. We also enjoyed exploring the local area in Harlem, and John's recommendations of the harlem tavern and Lido restaurant were great. When we first met John he provided loads of advice, tips and things to do. Communication with him was easy via email and we found him responsive before booking and during our stay. Overall, the apt and John are great! I would not hesitate in booking again. Thanks for the lovely stay.
