Great location in Harlem! It is within a few blocks to the 1 train, literally around the corner from a good bus stop. You can always use Uber too. And then there are all the restaurants and bars all within walking distance.
This is an unassuming neighborhood filled to the brim with tiny gems. Here is a our recommended places some we went back to more than once.
PICANTE about 1/2 block away on Broadway.
delicious Mexican food with good margaritas and sangria. Best guacamole! Nice servers.
MOFONGO DEL VALLE a little furthur down on 135th & Broadway
Caribbean grub with a home feel. Great pork chops and their rice and beans are amazing! Also super
nice people.
THE CHICK INN on Broadway up the block at 143rd. Reminds me of the great chicken dishes in the South. SO good. And the staff welcomed us in during a storm with all of our suitcases.
last but least...
THE HONEYWELL a super hip basement bar with groovy drinks. So fun! On 148th and Broadway.
The apartment was clean and very roomy for two people. The kitchen and the bathroom have been updated. Everything works great. And yes the wifi was good (eyeroll!!) we used it everyday with no issues. You could cook in the kitchen although we didn't but we did make use of the coffee pot daily!
Emery was very quick to respond before and during the trip.
A few little updates and this place would be a smoking 5 star place for sure!
We would stay again.
