Marie’s place was exactly as described. The townhome was beautiful and the room was spacious. The townhouse is conveniently located near bodegas, restaurants of all sorts, retail stores and the subway. You get the full Harlem experience here. Diverse population and restaurant options. The area felt safe for the most part. Probably want to try to get in from the subway (if you’re walking) before it gets dark, just because the area could feel a little intimidating at this time. There was a lot of trash in the area, but hey, that’s New York for you. As for the room and the private bathroom- clean and comfortable. I do think it’s important to note that the bed is a full size. The place can definitely use a bigger bed. Not very much city noise, a huge plus.
I didn’t get to meet Marie, but my partner did and he said she seemed really cool and nice. I did get to meet Yasmina, she was really sweet and friendly. Overall it was a good experience.
