Eduardo and Matt's place is truly lovely: all of the third story of a lovely brownstone they've filled with a glorious art collection, predominantly from Africa and Asia. The third floor is spacious and a delightful, calm place to catch your breath after the intensity of NYC. Jelly Roll Morton lived right next door years ago, and Langston Hughes' place is a few blocks away.
Eduardo was always helpful over text and Airbnb communiqué, and was a great pleasure to talk to when we had the opportunity to see him.
A few other guests have addressed concerns over the safety of the neighbourhood. Let's just say that a walk in Harlem brings you face to face as a white person well off enough to be using Airbnb with what it might be like to be in the minority on dimensions of race and economic class. Once acknowledged, you'll discover one of the great places in New York City.
