What a GEM!

I am almost hesitant to let this secret out!! This was an amazing apartment in Harlem. Yes, Harlem!! I looked for a long time for the perfect place to stay while we celebrated our 25th anniversary with our two college age sons. I wanted a bedroom for them and not just a second bed (which they would have had to share) in a hotel room. I was not finding anything that would accomodate our needs and give us a great feel for the real New York. Well. . .I not only found what I was looking for but it FAR exceeded my expectations. We had the most wonderful time and felt like we went "home" each night after a hard day at work being tourists.
This is not your run of the mill rental. We felt like we had our one personal tour guide just steps away. Michael met us at the door when we got there and gave us so much information about our local surroundings as well as the heart of the city. We felt like we had our own concierge!
We loved being just outside the craziness of the city, and yet so close to everything becuase the subway is literally a half block away and a short 10 minute ride to the heart of the city.
We sat out on the deck in back at night with a glass of wine and listened to the sounds of New York and planned out nest day.
It was so relaxing.
I could use the rest of the page to tell you how amazing this is, how clean is was,how comfortable is was,how great it was to have so much space, but you will just have to try it for yourself. I know you'll leave New York saying that the accomodations were one of the highlights of your trip.;
Thank you Michael for an incredible experience! It was the best trip ever, and you helped make that happen!!
