Although we did not personally meet Suzanne, she provided very through communication, including a welcome packet that included everything we needed to know for our stay at her place. The quaint apartment offered all of the necessary amenities. Spanish Harlem is rich with culture. If you happen to stay, make sure to visit the latin bakery on 116th Street between 3rd Ave and Lexington. The 6 train (east side green line) is approximately 5 blocks away, and provides convenient transportation directly or connecting to just about anywhere in Manhattan and beyond. As well, a few blocks away on 116th, there's an m116 bus that takes you conveniently to the west side. Lastly, if you really want a bargin and you're flying into LGA, there's a bus (I believe the M60 SBS) that goes directly to that part of town. The only trick is that (at least my experience) you need to find a way to prepurcase a Metro Card before you get there since the machin wasn't not working. I'm not sure if the MTA does that online, but a weekly pass is about $32 and gets you just about anywhere conveniently around the city. That's a great bargain. There are also plenty of grocery stores, bodegas, pharmacies, and even a 7-Eleven within a few blocks from her place. Most stay open fairly late. If you want a car service, I called El Barrios taxi and they were right on time- just in case you need to get somewhere, including back to the airport. Thanks Suzanne. I would visit again.
