We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Harlem. Having all the equipment for the baby on hand made the trip so much less stressful.
We also enjoyed experiencing what life as a real New Yorker feels like living in a residential district. It was a joy to come home to the apartment in the evenings and get out of the chaos of the city. Transport into and out of NYC is very good from here - we found the M2 bus at the end of the road a lifesaver as having a buggy on the underground was difficult with a lack of lifts and lots of steps. The apartment is very well equipped and has everything that you could possibly need - we even did a little bit of washing whilst there of baby clothes and dried them.
Having the mezzanine floor meant we weren't all on top of each other and the additional bathroom also helped having 4 adults and 1 infant staying in the apartment. All in all a very memorable second trip to NYC.
Personal highlight going to the gospel church and being treated to a rendition of a song by a star who was currently on a Broadway show.
