Merci mille fois merveilleux Aida! Spacious well appointed bedroom, with those touches that make a difference: big functional windows that provide sunlight and fresh air, two sets of drapes both sheers and blackout, in the closet rod space, hanging shelves and a set of hooks on the back of the door, bedside tables with drawers, bedside lamps and nearby outlets for your electronics, firm bed and cozy down comforter even a comfy leather club chair to read in.
Aida is a warm and gracious hostess, friendly, helpful and happy to visit or give you your space as you prefer. Her two children are delightful, extremely well-mannered; it was a pleasure to meet them. She is meticulous about cleaning the shared bathroom daily and navigating everyone's bath/shower schedule was simple.
Her apt is well located with subway lines number 2,3 steps away and another with even more lines a few blocks away. Museum Mile (5th Ave) is 30 minutes away on foot and there are parks everywhere, Central Park, Marcus Garvey Park and Riverside Park to name a few. Lots of stores for essentials nearby (grocery, drug stores, clothing both independent and large chains), cafes, small restaurants and coffee shops for a quick bite are plentiful. Harlem is a vital busy neighborhood and walking around early and late I was in good company---everyone walks in NYC!
I felt welcomed by Aida and her family; they also respected my need to close my door and recharge before going out again. I highly recommend a stay with Aida!
