"Begin each day with an open heart and mind" reads the framed quote in Lilly's studio. It set the tone for an amazing stay at this adorable and chic apartment. I traveled to the area with my mother to visit my daughter, who is a freshman at City College. For anyone that doesn't know Harlem well, it's truly one of the best places to visit in the city. I lived at 91st and 1st, 4th Ave & 11th and then on Chambers Street during the span of 1987-2004. New York has changed dramatically over those years, with one neighborhood winning favor over another as Times Square went from a trashy district to Disneyland. Harlem has now won the hearts of many who like the neighborhood-y vibe, and the new frontier of style the area is enjoying. Lilly's studio fit right into that. With details like a tea caddy with a variety of herbal teas, coffee and a coffee maker, refrigerator, Argan oil & cocoa butter hand wash, Lotus bath marbles, soap, shampoo and body wash, a light-up shower head, stylish decor, a super comfortable bed with excellent quality pillows, crisp clean linens, succulent plants on the window sill and a back yard view. It's the kind of place that makes you boot up your web browser and look at real estate prices in the area. Awesome location. Great place, great host, great trip!
