This is a beautiful home in the center of Harlem. It is actually a gem in a historic district that has seen a lot of change in past decade. As a former longtime Harlemite, I can say it was a pleasure to stay in a home that was spacious AND had outdoor space. It is literally one block away from the subway and two major bus lines which are convenient to everything in Harlem (Schomburg, 125th Street, City College, Central Park) and the rest of the city. I would surely recommend this place for those visiting for a weekend or a few days and want a unique taste of the city in a residential neighborhood. That said, I had a longer term rental and wasn't in NYC on vacation, but for a family visit and for work. I spent much time in the apartment and from my perspective, it isn't well-suited for longer term stays. The small galley kitchen is not very functional (no counter space) for families that want to cook at home although I could definitely see this space as an entertainment space for a small group that has food catered in. The large refrigerator makes it the perfect set up for that. Internet was essential for my work and, generally, the internet could be spotty. I had a few Zoom calls where the connection was not stable or quit mid call. Lastly, I thought there could have been better attention paid to the details of the home (ex: the soap bottles were not refilled or filled with water in the bathrooms) and the cleaning (there were cobwebs on the ceilings and in the corners). As a host, James was very responsive to my few requests and took care of things in a timely fashion. Overall, this place was supremely convenient for my family's needs and a welcome oasis when returning from the streets of NYC at the end of the day.
