We stayed 6 days in Wayne's third-floor penthouse apartment. We chose the area mainly because of family living close by. In the end, it proved a fortuitous choice because the area is a stimulating and fascinating contrast to downtown Manhattan – traditional Harlem community (seen at its most vibrant on Sunday morning when the churches are heaving) and creeping gentrification spurred on by the growth of Columbia University. As others have remarked, it is an easy walk to the subway and one is in central Manhattan in about 20 minutes. There is a good supermarket (Pioneer) a few moments away at the junction of West 127th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard. Wayne's apartment is in a block of Brownstone houses which hosts 5 churches and a similar number of temporary social housing establishments. The apartment is just as it is depicted in the photographs. It is clean, comfortable, well appointed, quiet, spacious enough for 2 or 3 people and a place where one feels at home immediately. Wayne and his assistant/cousin Kay are delightful and solicitous hosts. We were met by Kay who settled us in a friendly but efficient manner. We met Wayne on Friday night when he invited all his guests and some friends and family to a dinner party in his apartment. The ice was quickly broken amongst the polyglot gathering by generous servings of wine which Wayne provided and by our all pitching in with the preparation of the meal - an inspired device to enable us to get to know each other and to enter into the spirit of the evening. Dinner at Wayne's will remain one of the highlights of our trip to New York. We would certainly return to this apartment and would recommend it to friends visiting New York.
