The townhouse was very comfortable and truly luxurious. Suzy was a very communicative, generous, and accomodating host. We were close to all kinds of amenities. Downtown Manhatten is easily accessible through the metro if you're planning on a trip that centers around museums and greenwich village comedy clubs (as ours did). The neighborhood was really lovely and quite different from what you end up being exposed to in downtown Manhatten. There is sense of community all around the neighborhood. As women and immigrants we had a lot preconcieved notions about the safety in Harlem but I felt very safe walking from the metro to the apartment even at 3am at night. The patio outside is a lovely quite haven from the hustle bustle of the rest of the city. I highly recommend this place for any couple wanting a luxurious place of refuge and privacy in the otherwise very hectic atmosphere of Manhatten.
