Our family enjoyed our stay. The house was much different than we expected, despite the fact that it was exactly as described. What the reviews do not describe is the palpable sense of history that imbues the home. The location is perfect -- there is even a children's museum within 3 blocks of the home. It was about a mile to 125th street -- the center of Harlem (in my heart), but stores, restaurants and shops along Amsterdam Ave, from the house to 125th street, made it a wonderful stroll.
