Julia’s neat little apartment in Harlem is a welcome retreat from the noise and general mayhem of the rest of Manhattan. Restaurants and shopping are a 5-10 min walk, just far enough to be away from the crowd but close enough to be convenient.
The apartment is thoughtfully provisioned and has very comfortable beds and a great shower!
The location is pretty good too.
One thing we appreciated was the M1 bus that stops just around the corner and runs down 5th Ave past the Metropolitan Museum all the way to SoHo. Not as fast as the Metro but definitely better views.
Harlem downtown has its own vibe with a lot of interesting characters singing, dancing or just hanging out together, truly a unique experience!
