Considering the lack of private apartments on offer for affordable prices in Manhattan, Mimie's place was a welcome haven for me and my husband and a great bang for your buck. Mimie was also incredibly accommodating, letting us check out late and store our bags before our trek to the airport.
The location is unbeatable, just a block or two away from two major subway stops, Whole Foods, banks, and pharmacies, as well as loads of restaurants and cafes in the heart of Harlem. Because the apartment is on a side street, it's also super quite. The apartment was also really well equipped, with a full kitchen, linens, a desk, and little dining area.
Nonetheless, although the kitchen and bathroom areas were spotlessly clean, the bed linens had short hairs all over them, to the point where we tried to replace them with the extra set in the closet. When we found hairs on those, we threw some t-shirts over the pillows to feel a bit cleaner. Mimie was very generous in offering to provide a new set of linens, but we'd already slept on them the first night. If this and the broken desk chair could be fixed, we would have rated Mimie's place a 5/5!
