We have stayed in MANY Airbnb all over the country--this is among the very best. Doris is, simply, a caring, terrific host, and this apartment is a wonderful place in so many ways. Communication was quick and friendly; check-in was a breeze, with Doris meeting us there. The apartment is in a beautiful, early 1900s townhome, completely renovated for modern comfort and a welcoming atmosphere. The apartment is spotless; everything is high quality, with a modern look that promotes a spacious feel. There is EVERYTHING a guest could need and more: very comfy bed & pillows, with very clean and high-quality bedding; plenty of big, clean towels; lots of hot water & excellent water pressure; ample closet and shelf space; beautiful kitchen area with all the appliances and cookware you could want and lots of dishes and glassware. There was wine waiting for us; there was good bread, cereal, jam, juice, milk; there were lots of pods for the Keurig; there were healthy and delicious snacks--really generous provisions! Then there's the backyard deck--a comfortably furnished little area of paradise just above a gorgeous, quiet rose garden & yard. While the front of the apartment faces the street, this is not a huge thoroughfare, so it is relatively quiet; the bedroom faces the backyard and was VERY quiet. The neighborhood felt completely safe and there are many restaurants, bakeries, etc. within easy walking or taxi/Uber distance ( it is also easy to have food delivered). We are familiar with the Harlem area, but even if you are not, it's easy to get around and easy to get to all the other NYC places you might want to go. Thank-you Doris--we'll be back!
