The stay at Tanya's was great! The location is perfect to get anywhere in NYC easily. The neighborhood is safe and fairly quiet for a city neighborhood. Tanya is very accommodating and a friendly host. The apartment is in an amazing old building - the wood floors are original. So much history here. The beds are comfortable and linens soft. There is plenty of hot water in the shower and the water pressure is good. Please note that the apartment is on the 3rd floor - lots of stairs. Not an issue for us, but please note. The kitchen is not fully equipped to cook - if that is your plan, come prepared. But you're in NYC - why cook when there are amazing restaurants in walking or quick subway distance? We HIGHLY recommend Blvd Bistro on 116th & Frederick Douglass. The place hits on all cylinders - food, music, drinks, atmosphere. Take subway to 116th, get off SW side of street. Restaurant is right there as you come up the stairs. If there is any doubt about staying in Harlem, don't have any. It's like any city you have to be smart and aware, but no major concerns - past history doesn't dictate current history! Thanks Tanya for the great stay!
