We had a great stay in Joy's apartment and really recommend it. The place was clean and cozy and the bed was comfortable. We visited New York in early September. Although it was very hot with over 30 degrees, the air condition in the living and bed room made it pleasant.

The neighborhood in Harlem is safe and friendly. There are a few grocery stores close to the apartment and you can catch the subway or bus within a 3 minutes walk.

Joy is a hospitable host and gives tips for good restaurants and bars nearby. She also provides a lot of information in the apartment.

Harlem is a great contrast to Manhattan and made our NY experience complete. :)

P.S. Don't forget to visit the Apollo Theater just a 15 minutes walk away. The weekly Amateur Night is pure fun!
