We planned an intimate Central Park wedding and looked for a place to stay near the venue and friends in Harlem. We couldn't have been more delighted with Maribel's. As others have written, the apartment is as the pictures show: well-designed and simply-but-elegantly decorated. It is furnished with all you'd need and it's convenient access to the 2-3 subway makes trips to midtown and the 9/11 Memorial a breeze. We walked uptown to The Apollo and some terrific restaurants. Remember, it is an urban, diverse environment and for two nights, there was a neighbor apparently hosting an all-night hip hop event. While I found it a part of the heartbeat of the City, my musician husband was horribly distracted by it. When I've stayed in Midtown hotels, it's been traffic noise and we had none of that at Maribel's. It was our oasis.
