The room is on the top floor of a stunning 3-storey house in Harlem. It's clean, spacious, light and equipped with everything you need for a short stay in the city. It has a double bed, wardrobe, TV, fridge, microwave and coffee machine. The bathroom is just across the hallway. Whilst I was there, there didn't seem to be anyone else using it. The wifi worked well, which was useful as I had to spend a few hours working each day. The room would have benefited from a small table.
I spent a lot of time out and about in New York, so unfortunately only got to meet Marie once. She seemed extremely friendly and welcoming.
I had a bit of difficulty obtaining the key on the first day, but this was only a minor issue.
The house is in a great location in Harlem and has good transport links to the rest of New York. I enjoyed being out of the centre, as it was less hectic and showed me another side of the city.
Overall a great trip!
