The apartment exceeded expectations as did the host, Michael. The apartment is a short 5 1/2 blocks to the subway and a 10 minute walk to the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Go to the FB page for their evening events which are free (you have to register for tickets or take your chances with walk up availability) or stop by to check out their exhibits and book store. The Red Rooster and Sylvia's (restaurants) are also within a short walk as are many other restaurants, convenience and grocery stores on Lennox. It is also a block away from the new location of the National Jazz Museum; a Smithsonian affiliate and about a 15 minute walk to the offices of the Harlem Heritage Tours (a must if you want to experience the history of Harlem.) The subway line that stops nearby is the red line 2 & 3 which makes getting downtown fairly easy. You can be at 42nd Street Times Square in about 20-25 minutes and that's counting the walk to the subway. Penn Station is the next stop. Bottom line. If you want a clean, comfortable, quite place to relax in Harlem with easy access to the rest of Manhattan, this is it. Thank you, Michael. I'll definitely be back!
