This place and the host is so amazing, I don’t even know where to begin. First of all, it’s in an excellent location, right in the heart of the historical Harlem neighborhood. It’s extremely safe, there is culture at every turn, it’s busy and exciting but at the same time, the actual place you stay in is very quiet, peaceful, and private. There are tons of eateries/restaurants, stores, boutiques, bars, live music, and even a Whole Foods grocery store if you want to eat healthy or decide to cook your own meals, all within walking distance. If you would like to use public transit, there are subways with in walking distance and buses that come multiple times in an hour going in every direction. It is also a busy area for Uber’s, I never waited more than 2 minutes for one in the day time or the middle of the night. As for the actual inside, everything from the, flooring, light fixtures, furniture, sparkling kitchen counter, bar stools, piano, bathroom floor and marble walls, bathroom lighting, bathroom mirror, and state of the art stand up shower is absolutely gorgeous, clean, and brand new. There’s a stove, refrigerator, and microwave in the kitchen, along with a coffee maker, coffee, tea, cream and sugar you may use as you like. The living room and bedrooms each have their own air conditioning/heating system to set the room temperatures to your liking. The bed rooms have comfortable beds, fresh clean sheets and comforters, spacious closets, and big sturdy mirrors, great for taking head to toe pictures. Not to mention the art covering the hallway walls as soon as you walk in the building, and small details you see on each floor. This place is the definition of “aesthetic” ! My favorite part of all is the host Maxime, he is a walking piece of art himself. His personality and charisma is through the roof. His communication is a 10/10 with quick responses, it’s very easy to get in touch with him if you need anything or have any questions. He took the time to meet and greet me in person upon my arrival to introduce himself, throughly explain the house rules, which are very reasonable and easy to remember, and he got to know my interests/reasons for travel (which was for my birthday). From there, he comprised a long list of activities, events, and places specifically catered to me. You can tell he is not a copy and paste type of person and pays close attention to detail. He makes sure you have clean towels and wash cloths, and there are plenty of toiletries in the bathroom, and even a hair dryer if you need it. He is very accommodating! This place and it’s host created the perfect birthday trip for me. I honestly can’t believe the price is so reasonable, it could easily cost a lot more with it’s location and all of the perks. I highly recommend anybody staying here, you will not be disappointed! I plan on staying here on my next trip to New York.
