The location in Harlem was great for exploring the Manhattan and surroundings, there isn't any reason to stay in Midtown for that. Susan's place is lovely and quiet. Everything was very clean and neat when we arrived. The doorman had the apartment keys that was very convenient and we didn't need to schedule key exchange with Susan. The apartment was very well equipped and was very homelike during our stay. I would recommend Susan's place for anyone who is interested living like a local in very nice neighborhood.
