Simon patiently waited for us when we were delayed upon arrival. The place is very clean and just as pictured. Simon left a nice basket of goodies and some waters in the fridge (a must during the heat wave we had then). The pillows are soft down pillows. Linens are high end! Too many AirBNBs are lovely in every other way, but go cheap on the pillows. It's clear that Simon pays attention to this kind of detail.

So glad we got to see Harlem on a day to day. As an introvert, downtown and midtown make me tired and cranky. Nice to visit during the day, but it was lovely to come home to the peaceful streets at the end of a long day. Despite what stories you hear, NYC folks are very friendly and that includes this neighborhood. We ended up getting invited in for a church fundraiser as we walked by one night and had a great time.

Simon's property is such a great value. It is large, air conditioned and overlooks a lovely street out front as well as some nice back yards. It is a lovely renovation and Simon has great taste! There was some heavy construction in the building behind Simons and yet they were polite enough to keep it quiet until 9 AM each day. We woke to birds singing and kids playing outside. A NYC treat!
