It's very hard to say what was the most important attribute of the 134th St units. Their locations proved perfect. Traveling with family, we used both the first and second floor accommodations. Each was very comfortable. And with a small hallway connecting front and back in each, you had a feel of both spaciousness and privacy.
I believe other reviews rightly mention Theresa's attention to detail. Pantries are well stocked with many unexpected essentials. Who would expect a host to have agave? My sisters kept commenting on what the apartments had in anticipation of possible needs. Umbrellas, dish soap, shampoo and conditioner, coasters.
The intent of the vacation was to celebrate Harlem. That meant hitting the famous Apollo Theater and attending a service at the equally renowned Abyssinian Baptist Church. Museum visits, dining in very good restaurants and looking for jazz filled the 5 day stay. We walked everywhere, did not use the subway or a cab and did everything we wanted and more. By the time we had to pack up and leave, all 5 of us were walking on clouds. In my opinion, the location of the units factored hugely in allowing us to do a daily walking tour of Harlem. The only thing I want to do now is to go back.
