The experience in Michael’s apartment was excellent, the apartment was compact but more than big enough for my family of four. The apartment had all the amenities you require and more, including extras like hairdryer, soaps/shampoos, food etc. The fridge even had beer… !!! The location was good, just 4 blocks from the subway (close to the Apollo theatre for the aficionados of Soul/R+B music like me). I had a little trepidation about being a white family in Harlem having grown up in the sixties but my fears were unfounded as Harlem today is a multi-cultural place and full of amazingly friendly people of all creeds and colours. Michael is a great guy and nothing is too much trouble for him, as he frequently told me “I am here for you and I’ve got your back”…these were not empty words. We are already planning our return and will definitely be staying there again.
