When we arrived at the appartement, Dena was not there but she left us a clear message with the doorman (which gave us a safe feeling about the place). We texted her in advance a few times and she answered us really quickly. Dena is a kind born and raised New Yorker. You can ask her anything.

The room was perfectly fine. We only missed a closet/shelf to put our clothes in. Because we stayed 7 days, we had a lot of clothes and stuff. The bathroom is shared with a roommate. That is something to consider, but Dena told us clearly in advance. There are two awesome, very nice cats. We loved them.

When we booked we had some doubts about Harlem but it seemed that we were completely wrong about that. The people are very nice and helpful. If you are a light sleeper you should consider bringing earplugs. New York really is the city that never sleeps ;-)

Tip: go check out the public rooftop of the building. It gives you a very nice view of Harlem.
