We had a lovely stay at Marie's house in Harlem. The house is stunning, just as it looks in the photos, and the guest room spacious and tastefully decorated. The description 'serenity space' is spot on - though it's in a vibrant neighbourhood, we could barely hear a sound when it came to going to bed, which was ideal after busy days sightseeing in NYC.
The bathroom, which is just across the hallway, is modern and spotless - better than most hotels we've stayed in! Both rooms are on the top floor, which makes it feel quite private and like you have your own space.
Marie and her daughter were lovely, though we only saw them in passing as we headed in and out. Check in instructions were clear and straightforward, and communication via the app was quick and responsive.
It's a peaceful haven in a busy metropolis, and ideal for hopping on the metro to midtown or downtown sightseeing.
