Be sure to talk to one of the hosts to let them know when you will be getting into town so they can meet you with the key. They don't live in the building. There are three apartments in the building and this one is on the top floor. Quite a few stairs, no elevator. If you have mobility issues this might be the best place for you.

The second bedroom is really small. As in REALLY small. The main bedroom is huge! Overall the apartment was in really good shape. The kitchen and attached living room are really cute. Bathroom is normal sized. All the amenities that you could need are there. We didn't have to call or text to ask for anything while we were there.

It is Harlem and if you're not used to the inner city life you might not enjoy it. I love Harlem so I was happy and comfortable here but it should be in your comfort zone to stay here.

We went to Marcus Samuelsson's restaurant which is right down the road from the apartment. That was a treat!
