If you are looking to stay in Harlem, and have a spacious and clean bedroom with private bath, this is a great choice. It really is just a block’s distance from the train. I stopped at a great Juicery for my morning healthiness, before getting coffee at an excellent cafe, both establishments just blocks away if walking north.
The great: spacious (especially for NYC), clean, nice linens, styled with thoughtful furniture and hardware, framed art (some of which are signed prints) that really reflect a sense of Harlem and historical culture. Clearly an adored home. A solid home that has been renovated with great attention to detail and care.
The not optimal for me: I was greeted by Kim, who’s absolutely lovely, I simply had not read about her in the listing. I also did not understand that there are other bedrooms rented in the home on other floors. I would expect that also to be described so it’s simply not a surprise when meeting another guest (I was able to hook lock my door from the inside, and my suite felt very private). The bed was firm, which is not ideal for me.
Steve was excellent at staying in touch throughout my stay, nice and prompt to correspond with. Check in and out was easy.
