Mary’s place was beautiful and comfortable and had everything we needed and more. The ambiance was simple and relaxing and had little nice details that made the place stylish. There was a big rack filled with pamphlets on what to do and see in the city and a detailed description on the rules of the apartment, from when to put the trash out to how to use the thermostat or where to find what we needed with plenty of contacts and relative phone numbers of neighbors in case she was not around. She was a very attentive and responsive host and even asked us towards the end of our stay if there was anything we missed and she did not have in the apartment because she always tries to improve on the comforts available to the guests. At the time I really couldn’t think of anything but the tool to make frothed milk, although I must add there is already a nice expresso coffee machine and we found a new pack of coffee cartridges along with some snacks waiting for us on the dining table the day of our arrival. Thinking about it now the one thing that could actually be very useful would be a trolley for the groceries, since the stores are at walking distance but we never really asked it and it’s possible that it was already there and we did not see it. The apartment was very close to many nice restaurants and convenient stores, and public transportation was just a few minutes away. We felt very safe in the area night and day, Harlem was a great and interesting neighborhood under many aspects. We might go back very soon and would definitely try to rent the apartment again.
