Both the Harlem Hearth and our host (Toby) more than exceeded our expectations. As first time Air BnB users coming to New York we were a little nervous as to how things work with Air BnB and what we were supposed to do beforehand and on the day of our arrival. Toby was excellent in terms of pre-visit comms; he met us at the door when we arrived, showed us around his gorgeous partment (it really is as good as it looks in the pictures), and was extremely responsive to any minor difficulties we had (sorting our wi-fi access, explaining how the TV worked). The apartment is clean, fully stocked with all ammenities, air-conditioned - plus, the sofa bed in the front room gave me the best five nights sleep I think I've ever had. There is a large, reasonably-priced supermarket literally 30 seconds from the apartment. The nearest station is five minutes away, though we found it more beneficial (due to the vagaries of the New York subway system) to use instead two alternative stations around 10 - 15 minutes away (note - the walk to these stations takes you through the very heart of Harlem, a very different experience to downtown Manhattan. It is pefectly safe and very colourful). There are plenty of taxis available too for the more faint-hearted. The apartment/location is also extremely convenient for anyone (like us) who want to catch a game at Yankee Stadium. On our last night Toby invited us onto the roof garden for cocktails and a farewell toast to New York - a lovely gesture. In summary I can't recommend the Harlem Hearth enough for its cleanliness, amenities, location, size, value-for-money and hospitality of its host. Thank you Toby for helping make our stay so wonderful.
