Leesa was the best host ever, full of light and lovely energy. She met me on arrival, briefed me on the apartment, and provided the most wonderful welcoming food - breakfast, a bottle of wine, tea, coffee and groceries. She also checked in regularly by email to make sure I was doing alright, and brought over anything I needed eg. hairdryer, ironing board. The apartment was spacious and comfortable, a perfect place to do yoga in the morning! It's so centrally located - only minutes from the 135th subway and close to a supermarket on Lennox Ave. Check out Mannas for local soul food, and the fantastic restaurants down on 125th St - Sylvia's, Red Rooster (great cocktails) and Chez Lucienne. I was also lucky enough to be visiting during the Harlem Book Fair and met some wonderful people.
