We cannot speak highly enough of Monica and our stay in her apartment. She gave us such a detailed orientation upon check in, and was on hand anytime we needed something or wanted some advice about the city. We felt absolutely at home and had everything we needed for our stay, including a fantastically set up kitchen. Staying in Harlem gives such a different experience to NYC, and we highly recommend it. The apartment is close to subway stations, right in the heart of African American culture and life. A Whole Foods market is opening soon on the next corner and then everything you need will be within 2 blocks. Also super convenient to go downtown for the sights. Monica is an excellent host and we recommend a stay in her apartment 100%.
