I have rented many places in Manhattan when friends and family visit, and without a doubt, Gregory and Irene's home is the nicest and best-located place I have ever found in Airbnb NYC.
For two weeks, my friend and her daughter stayed at the main suite with the balcony. Their bedroom had everything they needed to feel right at home; there was a very comfortable bed, working area/desk, private bathroom, towels, closet space, and a balcony from where you could see the indoor garden. The room was spotless and was also clean several times during the stay.
The bedroom is part of a beautiful house located in a very convenient area of Central Harlem. Public transportation is also steps away, specially the express subway stations at 125th street, and the M16 bus from and to LGA. You can also walk to Central Park or rent bikes and use the riverside bike path that connects the whole city. There are many great restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, and clothing stores nearby.
Lastly, Gregory and Irene were extraordinarily polite and helpful, and the communication was excellent at all times. I met Irene in person, and she made sure to address any concerns and questions related to the apartment in English and Spanish. I would highly recommend this extraordinary place to anyone looking for an authentic NYC experience. Thank you so much, Irene and Gregory!
