Mary Ann’s apartment feels like the most welcoming space in the world. As soon as you walk in, you feel at ease and you can’t help but smile. No matter who you are, I guarantee this is an open, friendly, and safe space (I am autistic and queer, so a safe space was my first priority). The subway and bus stops are less than a 5min walk away. You’ll also be in walking distance of everything Harlem has to offer, from restaurants, grocery stores, a movie theatre, and more. Mary Ann is super kind and if you need any tips on how to get around I’m sure she would be happy to help. If you’re a creative, this is also the perfect place for you, the energy here is super inspiring. Not to mention she has cutest, sweetest, and friendliest dog ever. The bedrooms are all spacious and clean. The kitchen and living room are shared spaces, so you don’t have to feel confined to your bedroom. It’s an old NYC apartment building, so don’t expect anything like stainless steel modern finishes or whatever new buildings look like nowadays. But do expect a normal NYC apartment full of life, art, history, and love. Overall, this place will feel like home, I guarantee it. Mary Ann is the BEST.
