The listing was exactly as listed and how it appears in the photos. Simon was welcoming and flexible which was great because we arrived very early and left late. The apartment was clean and the bed very comfortable. Lots of clean linen and towels. Lots of light and fresh air. Our only complaint was that due to a wiring issue, there was no cablevision although there was Netflix. We enjoyed the neighbourhood. Very different for us. We bought great souvenirs of african textiles and jewelry along 125th, enjoyed authentic dinner and great jazz at the Red Rooster and wonderful coffee and pastry at the Lenox Safire on the corner of 127th.
With subways running down both sides of Central park, it was easy to get where we were going downtown. Also the bus is just around the corner on 5th avenue. Harlem is a vital component of NYC which we would likely have missed if we had stayed downtown. Thanks Simon.
