My husband and I spend two nights at Tom's place to attend events at Columbia University. Communication with Tom was clear and prompt before, during and after our stay. We walked from the 125th St train station, it took about 20 min at a leisurely pace. The key and keypad entry made access a breeze. The apartment is clean, comfortable and on a quiet street in Harlem. The sofa bed was already made up for us when we arrive which was a very thoughtful touch. I loved to hear the creaking of some of the planks of wood on the floor as we walked around the apartment and the hiss from the steam radiators was a soothing sound especially at night. The apartment is also equipped with a space heater should you need to use one, we did not, the apartment was always toasty warm. Tom has done a great job refurbishing the property while keeping the charm and character of the building. The apartment we stayed in was in the back of the house. The two tall windows overlook the courtyards of all the brownstones along this street and the next street over. We occasionally heard a bark of a small dog let out, but very briefly, neighbors seem to be very courteous. We enjoyed eating at Lido, Harlem Shake and BO's Bagels. We would definitely stay again!
