Staying with Agnes is like staying with family. We were given the grand tour of her lovely, spacious apartment, and generously offered some goodies upon arrival. Once the basics were discussed, we were left to enjoy our room and explore Harlem with a wealth of information on the neighborhood. The building itself has an exciting history, as well as the street on which the apartment is located. If Agnes is around, allow her to enlighten you on some of those things.
Harlem is a dining mecca, and you will find no shortage of great places to eat within walking distance. We found some delicious Soul Food and live music, and even stopped to chat (and eat some more!) with a local who was barbecuing on the street. If you end up booking with Agnes, please be sure to read the Welcome Letter you receive in its entirety. There's a lot of good stuff in there. Also, make check-in arrangements ahead of time out of courtesy. Agnes schedules her day around your arrival...because that's what families do!
