This was one of my favorite airbnb experiences and exactly why airbnb was invented. We came in for Family Weekend at Barnard, which was a fifteen minute walk. One our walk we were delighted to go by the famous Apollo Theater and stop every morning at "I Like It Black" coffeeshop. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds ever, perfect firmness with a first layer of squish to sink into. Nour's communication was very prompt and he was very flexible with our late arrival. Shoe removal at the front door speaks to the rest of the cleanliness of the place. In the common spaces, the lighting creates an atmosphere of calm. The art. The plants. After a fourteen hour day touring with our daughter, we returned to a soothing environment. (Look, this is NYC in the heart of Harlem, there are street sounds; earplugs solve this if you're a light sleeper.) I am excited to return to Nour's apartment when we visit our college student.
