Soon and Francine are actually what everobne within Airbnb is looking for - maybe also outside airbnb! They are fun, cute, generous, friendly, openminded, passionate, brilliant and a free of prejudices family who own a fantastic brownstone in Harlem. The House is amazing, you wil have an entire space for you downstairs with a private bathroom. Everything super clean and comfortable - you will share the house with them, plus their little doughter and their pets, 2 gorgeous, kind and quiet cats plus an irresistable beutiful and quiet dog. I mean, they are really quiet! Soon and Francise are really super host and they own the values of airbnb, sharing experiences and suggestions beside the house. We spent 8 nights and we would have stayed there for an year if we could. To us they are like uncle and aunt from the states :)
Harlem is very special, it still conserves the nature and the soul of the neighborood where you can smell, see and experience the community values spread out by the people who lives over there. Quiet and secure it's a very cheap added value where to stay and reach all the spots of Manhattan easily - indeed the subway is 5 steps close from the house. If you get the chance try Francine's burritos and coffee, and hear well all Soon's suggestions about asiand food and donuts.
There it would be so much to say but that's our experience - go there and live yours!
