Disclaimer: This apartment is on the third floor-it takes two STEEP flights of stairs to get to the 3rd floor. However, this building is SUPER safe; it takes two locks just to get into the building itself!
My husband and I stayed at Simon's apartment for our honeymoon in New York and it was WONDERFUL! The apartment was incredibly spacious and so comfortable. The bed was a perfect size (queen), the bathroom has a detachable shower head and great water pressure, there is a full kitchen and PLENTY of space in the living room (not to mention free Netflix! Score!)
Being from Texas, I was nervous to stay in New York because of how 'dangerous' I've heard New York is. Though Simon's place is technically in Harlem, I never felt unsafe the whole time I was there. We were within walking distance of Central Park which was awesome! We didn't use the subways or buses, just taxis the whole time and it was always easy to get to and from our apartment. Due to extenuating circumstances, we weren't able to meet Simon personally, but he was EXTREMELY responsive via AirB&B. There wasn't anything we needed but he offered anyways.
He even left us a bowl of snacks in the kitchen, which was a kind touch.
If you're in New York and looking for a home away from home, truly, stay at Simon's! I would definitely stay again.
