This was our second trip to Manhattan and we wanted to experience Harlem. Staying with J was perfect location and the few times we got to chat with him, we got to hear so much about this city and the people! On our last day, J cooked up an amazing Southern brekkie and we also got to taste corn bread! Thank you J! The room is simple and has all the necessities! The bed was comfy enough for the two of us. As we were barely home, the very affordable room was perfect for our budget and simple requirements. Another thing we wanted to experience was the subway which is only a block away. A great coffee and brekkie place is right around the block Astor Row Cafe! Or a few blocks away is Lenox Coffee! Coming from Australia (yes, we have awesome coffee) so finding these independent Cafes that have equally awesome coffee was essential! Also a must-experience-in-Harlem is attending a service at First Corinthians Baptist Church. Overall we absolutely enjoyed our conveniently located stay with J and would definitely stay here again if ever heading back to Harlem!
