We had a lovely three-night stay at Michelle's apartment during our visit to NY. We arrived on Friday night so Michelle had helpfully arranged for us to pickup our apartment keys from the front desk which was very convenient. Our schedule in NY was pretty packed so we only met Michelle the one time just before leaving for the airport, but she always easy to contact via Airbnb and proved to be a very welcoming and helpful host - providing us towels in the room and even a hairdryer for when my wife needed one. Michelle works from home but, as we were out of the apartment exploring NYC most of the time, this did not affect our trip in any way. The apartment is situated in a Harlem neighborhood on West 117th Street and the apartment was as described and pictured. There was a 24-hour Rite Aid pharmacy next door which was useful and plenty of places nearby to eat/drink (we do suggest trying the chocolate chip cookies at Levain Bakery!). The area was also well serviced with buses and a metro just a few minutes walk away that we used extensively during our stay. At no time did we feel ourselves to be unsafe at any time of the day. All in all we had a good stay in NYC and would definitely recommend Michelle's apartment as a good base to explore NYC!
