I had a magical time at Historic Harlem. It allows visitors to experience both the vibrancy of New York as well as the charm of peaceful neighborhood life. There is an abundance of excellent coffee in sophisticated local establishments, as well as delicious spots for meals and music. The subway is right around the corner and history is everywhere you look, in the street names, the gorgeous buildings, and the art and artifacts at the Schomburg among other local art venues. The apartment is gorgeously appointed, and reflects the elegance and subtle glamour of its owner. Kakuna is an ideal host-- responsive, compassionate, and thoughtful. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to share a corner of the beautiful life she has built in one of the most interesting and exciting neighborhoods in the world.
