The only aspect of our stay that was more pleasant than this absolutely wonderful apartment was Kurt, himself. He was there to greet my family and I after a late night flight from San Francisco and provided us with all the immediate refreshments we could have wished for, including cat litter and box! I was able to learn a great deal about the history of Harlem and New York City during our two week stay, from simply walking around this historic neighborhood, to pursuing the books lining the walls, and of course from Kurt - who was more than generous with his vast knowledge on almost every topic! Kurt went out of his way to make us feel welcome, making a difficult move from the west coast that much easier.
The apartment itself was exactly as depicted with the splendor of floor to ceiling books and the comfort of being a ground level apartment in the height of the NYC summer (easy access to the beautiful garden and cooler than higher floors!). Every amenity I could have wished for was abundantly provided, and there was more than enough space for three family members to stay. I will certainly recommend Kurt's place to anyone who visiting NYC!
