Fantastic location in the heart of Harlem, surrounded by shops, restaurants, and parks. The apartment was very clean, and the bedrooms were spacious. However, the common areas photograph much larger than they actually are. The living room and kitchen are extremely narrow, with very little room to move around. The real highlight is the beautiful, spacious backyard with a grill! Unfortunately, we experienced loud construction during our stay and weren't notified beforehand. We had to contact the hosts to find out what was happening. Overall, great for exploring Harlem and enjoying the backyard, but not ideal if you're looking for a quiet retreat or spacious indoor living areas.
