What a fabulous apartment! Clean, space to relax for the four of us, lots of amenities and a very warm and gracious hostess. I actually wish we had had time to visit with London more. She was 'within reach' if needed, and respected our privacy as well. Harlem is a great area - far enough away from the busy downtown but a subway away when it was time to go to a show!! I wish we had spent more time up there as the Harlem Museum, the Apollo and Sylvia's were all within a block or two. Had some great soul food a block away, though. BTW, there are plenty of stores and banks within a block as well as the subway. London said a Whole Foods is coming in as well. The four of us are already planning next year's trip and we plan on staying here.
I LOVED the bed I slept on and we were there during a winter storm and had no trouble with heat or travel or anything! (Starbucks across the street, too) The living room was a great place to hang out and even fit the fabulous Queen size inflatable mattress we used. (with a pillow top - how awesome is that!?)
London sent a driver to pick us up at JFK as she was concerned about the weather and whether we could get a cab or bus! We used him (Dave) for our trip to Newark and I plan on calling him again. He is so nice!
Yes, there are 2 flights of steep stairs, but they are worth it.
Thank you, London for sharing your awesome apartment! Can't wait to return!
