Katie and Juan were the perfect hosts and we were in luck to cross paths and say hello, though it would not have been a requirement for a stay at this beautiful accommodation in that all the instructions for entry were crystal clear. Either Juan or Katie answered promptly any and all questions via the airbnb app. We loved being in a classic NYC brownstone in a Harlem neighborhood in which we felt totally safe to include parking our car on the street a block away and walking to take the nearest subway. The entire interiors were completely renovated with with a modern sensibility and but respect for maintaining a vintage feel. We were barely aware of other guests.....very private, even with the communal kitchen and great fridge for keeping our white wine cold :-) I highly recommend this accommodation, especially with the owners living on the premises, which provided even more of an advantage for keeping it a well-run boutique Guesthouse.....5 stars well deserved!!!
