Laurent was an excellent host who always took extra care and made sure I am ok having in mind that I was there for 3 weeks and at the time when the lockdown in NY started due to COVID. He texted me, asked whether I am ok, came to exchange from a safe distance and both he and his wife were very kind. As they live in the apartment next to the airbnb, they are always available to react immediately on any questions or anything you need. I was feeling really cold the first night and they immediately got me few extra blankets and an extra heater so I was definitely well equipped for an Antarctic winter. Great people!
Location of the flat is excellent, next to the metro and super central in Harlem on walking distance from shops, cool restaurants and bars, also the Apollo Theater is a 5 min walk. Ask Laurent, they have a book with all recommended places!
The studio itself is very good as well, perfect if you need a place to stay for sight-seeing or as I was there -to work. I even spent almost a week working from home from there due to COVID which was of course a bit tricky, but it still worked. It has a microwave, a kitchen, a coffee machine, 4 stoves and a little baking oven so you could even have a meal there ( a luxury for NY flats). It is small so I would say a couple plus a small child should be fine there.
Overall, great and thanks so much!
