It was a very good experience and it was nice meeting the landlady. She was very receptive before our arrival as she answered our many questions but also during our stay. |
Review by: Marianna B., Jun 30 2017 Accommodation Rental: 10 days |
The landlady has been very helpful and available every time we needed something. The apartment is a bit away from downtown, but there are supermarkets and subway stations nearby. |
Review by: Hanspeter M., Sep 17 2016 From: Germany, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Everywhere was superbly clean, well-equipped and there's everything you need, just great! |
Review by: Loic V., May 23 2016 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 9 days |
Five stars for everything, this apartment fully deserves it. Our 9-night stay was truly magical. Marie, the landlady, was perfect. And what about her wise advice about the neighborhood for instance... Harlem area is actually great, we felt safe and at home, we rode the subway at midnight to come back home and never had any issue. You can quickly reach Downtown Manhattan... The house is fully equipped... In short, we will never forget our stay there. We can only recommend this place. |

We spent a great week in the apartment, the owner not only has good taste for decoration but she is also very charming, helpful and kind. The apartment is comfortable and it's near a subway station and a supermarket. |

Hi Zacharia, |
Review by: Darrell Y., Jun 08 2015 From: United States, Accommodation Rental: 3 days |
Marie was just amazing! She gave birth while we were there and still managed to keep up with all our needs. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for everything! |
Review by: Magalie K., May 11 2015 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
We had an excellent stay in New York. The apartment is spacious with its 2 bathrooms, and ideally fits 6 people. There are all the necessary conveniences and even more in this vacation rental. It is tastefully decorated and perfectly equipped. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner May 23 2015 |
Thank you for the review, Magalie, I am glad you had such a great stay. I'm sorry you found the apartment to be noisy. I do not know if this was noise from the street or from our apartment - we had some friends over so it might have been noisier than usual. |

A fantastic apartment with the best host you could imagine. Hard to think how this place could be better. Dreaming of when I can return |
Review by: Cedric J., Nov 08 2014 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
Apartment was very well equipped and very nice with all the comforts of home. |
Review by: Melissa G., Aug 11 2014 From: United States, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
We were a family of 6 traveling to NYC for a week and found this apartment. We were a little nervous about being in Harlem as tourists (especially with 4 children). The neighborhood was amazing and the location and price were perfect for us. The express train got us anywhere in NYC within 15 minutes. It was great having the choice of 2 different train lines about the same distance from the apartment. The neighborhood was very safe and it was great for the kids to experience neighborhood living in the middle of a huge city. |

Everything was as expected in this apartment that was totally to our liking; the hosts are lovely and considerate; living in Harlem is a wonderful experience from all points of view |

Easily accessible accommodation, conveniently located to explore Manhattan. |
Review by: Sabine S., Nov 12 2013 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
True to its description, the only thing to improve is the soundproofing from outside noise, especially in the bedroom that faces the street and with the upstairs apartment. |
Answer by: Accommodation Owner Nov 14 2013 |
Hi Sabine, It was a pleasure meeting you too and helped you in this busy city. |
Review by: Eddy C., Sep 24 2013 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 8 days |

Review by: Emmanuelle T., Mar 16 2013 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 6 days |
Very nice welcome, charming host with great tips on visiting the city and best places to eat. The plus: there was food waiting for us when we arrived for our first breakfast and a hot meal. |
Review by: Françoise D., Mar 07 2013 From: France, Accommodation Rental: 5 days |
Very nice accommodation to live in. The hostess is very hospitable and very present, which is great when you don't know the city. |
