We stayed at Gordon's place for about a week and we had a great stay! We valued the airport pickup service that he provided as we were coming from Newark Airport and were grateful of his patience when our flight got delayed twice! It was easy to communicate with him and get picked up from the Terminal. When we arrived, we were pleasantly pleased with our room. Gordon's place has been recently renovated so it felt like we were at a modern place in Harlem. The neighbourhood and building complex felt very safe. We were 2 minutes from a main subway line (the number 1) so it was very easy to get to where we wanted to go in Manhattan! Lots of food options nearby and a convenience store around the corner that closed at midnight. There were other guests staying at Gordon's place so we were mindful to have earplugs in while sleeping (as some street and pipe noises are heard) and also prepared ourselves to climb the 70 or so steps up to the 4th floor (there are no elevators as mentioned). The modern shower was lovely and modern appliances as well. The restroom was shared with other guests but since there was two available we pretty much had the one restroom to ourselves. Thank you for being a communicative and wonderful host, Gordon! We are very happy to have chosen your place for our stay in New York!
