This was just great.
We are going to give Simon’s place 9.5 out of ten.
We had been planning this trip for some months and if you are new to New York we suggest you do the same. We got a mega large map and plotted on there what to do each day. The city is so spaced out and so exciting. We spent a whole day just doing Central Park. Yup it was some days exhausting doing 20,000 steps each day but we had a great place to return to and as long as we made the subway back to Times Square we knew our New York home was only a short ride away.
Harlem was everything and more that we expected it to be. In fact YES it was like being in the movies. If you have ever seen any Harlem films you will know what I mean. The place was buzzing with all sorts of amazing characters and we found ourselves people watching a lot. We never felt any danger and would definitely stay here again if we were to return to The Big Apple.
So. The place itself. It was so so spacious . We did a lot of looking at different places and different areas before booking Simons place and this was a true gem. The wonderful atmospheric lighting in the living area was so chilled at night and the sofa was really comfy , as was the bed and the space to store our stuff was more than adequate. Being a very homey couple we really appreciated the cleanliness of the apartment and loved the extra large fridge that we could chill our essentials in.
So why have we only given 9.5 ? The apartment is so perfect and so modern but the bathroom let it down a bit. Also there was a weird smell outside on the stairway. We are pretty laid back and just made a joke about it!!!
Thank you Simon for trusting us with your wonderful New York Brownstones apartment. We loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone needing a retreat after long days sightseeing.
Much appreciated.
