Book. Book. Book!
Roxy’s place is in the heart of Harlem.. about a 2 minute (literally) walk to 125th/Malcolm X and the Subway. Her apartment is the ideal location. It is near Whole Foods, Marshalls, Many Restaurants, Shopping, The Apollo, I could go on, but hopefully you get it.. LOL! The pictures posted does no justice for this Harlem gem... Everything is as pictured, but much nicer in person. The check-in process was very smooth. Roxy was very informative and helpful. She was also very detailed (which I loved!) in the rules and other quirks regarding the private room/amenities. The room is much BIGGER than your average room(s) in New York (And we all know NY has matchbox-sized rooms... LOL!), which I did not expect at all. Not only is the room huge, it was also very clean. There are toiletries in the room if you need them (lotion, razor, dry shampoo, finger nail polish remover, soap, Spring water/glass cup, etc.) along with a towel and washcloth which I think are very nice/personal touches. The bathroom is very spacious and clean as well. The bathroom is shared (which is listed) so make sure that you plan accordingly as far as showers and such... It works out for everyone if you plan ahead and pay attention to Roxy’s schedule and incorporate it into your schedule. I had no issues. Roxy made me feel like a friend/family the way we interacted with each other, which made this trip even more memorable. I was in NY attending a 6-day course (Main Street Vegan Academy) and the location was just perfect to walk to the Academy, which I did every day. Roxy gave me valuable information/tips/tricks on transportation, things to do, and places to go. As I’ve told Roxy, she is a true Harlem Gem and I am happy to have crossed paths with her. I definitely recommend her private room if you are traveling to New York. You will not be disappointed. And of course.. If I travel back to NY and choose not to stay in Westchester with my family, I will without hesitation check the availability for the ‘Awesome Private Room in Historic Village of Harlem’!
