I'll start from the bottom line. It was a perfect experience - both the house and the host.
The house is beautiful, spacious, tidy and well equipped. Just as the pictures show and even more. The beds are comfortable and there's ample closet space in each room. The master bedroom takes up a whole floor and has a walking closet with a skylight and a luxurious bathroom, which is an actual room!! We were five adults that spent almost 3 weeks in the house and all of us enjoyed every minute of it.

The house is located a few minutes walk from the express subway station (lines A&D). We had concerns about the neighborhood, Harlem, beforehand but were positively surprised. People everywhere are nice and warm . In the last 10 years the neighborhood went through a major change and is now considered by many a rising place to live in. There is a nice supermarket nearby as well as many nice restaurants. The famous Apollo Theater is also 10 minutes walk away. a side note: we have been at one of the "Amateur Nights" there (every Wed) and enjoyed it.

On our arrival Chris welcomed us, walked with us to the near supermarket and pointed for us the good restaurants on the way.
Chris was the best. Kind, helpful, considerate & responsive. We feel that we have found a new friend in New York.

All in all it was an amazing stay. We don't have enough words to recommend the house and the landlord. We would love to come again next time when we are in NYC. Thank you Chris, for everything.
