This is a convenient and interesting neighbourhood. I liked being able to walk out and go to the grocery store or get a coffee or a meal without needing to go far. It is also a fun place to just walk around.

For those concerened about Harlem, I found the people friendly and never felt scared or threatened, even when walking around in the evening alone (not late, but after dark). There is a police presence that is not overwhelming, but - to me - reassuring.

Wayne is a wonderful host. He is warm and friendly, and very concerned with his guests' comfort. He likes to meet with this guests and had all of us over for dinner one night. However, he will also resepect your privacy if you prefer to be alone. He had good suggestions of places to eat and jazz clubs to go to.

The apartment itself is spacious and has everything you need for a short or long stay. I was there with two children for a week, and we were happyp with it. It is not a five-star hotel, but certainly well worth what we paid for it. I would have no problem recommending this apartment to friends.
