Michael's place was on point. He set us up real well. There was food and many snacks. Great restaurants and convenience stores within walking distance. If you are staying here, you have to eat at Jacob's restaurant down the street. The food is amazing!!! Soul and Caribbean cuisine to satisfy any craving. His apartment was like staying at a friend's house. There plenty of pillows, blankets, linens and towels. Bathroom had all the amenities to suit everyone. If you don't have toothpaste or shampoo.....not to worry, Michael has it covered! Michael is a phone call away and available for assistance. We drove into New York and Michael had a parking spot right in front of the building for us. We would stay at Michael's place again. On another note, Harlem is a historical area. We were 4 blocks away from the Apollo theater. Don't be discouraged about what you had heard about Harlem. You are totally safe!!
