Harlem was a great experience! Lots of smiling people around. The flat is as announced: big, clean, quite and with all the facilities. THe Metro is on the corner, 1min walking. Milton is the best part of this: very supportive and easygoing person. I would recommend it to anyone who is planning to go to NY.

Great apartment- perfect for a visit to NYC!
Milton is a pleasure to work with and a very nice person :)
We will stay here again when we visit.
This was our first visit to New York and the first week of a five week holiday so we didn't want to blow the budget right away. The apartment is really well equipped and thankfully has airconditioning because it was still HOT when we were there. Wifi is also very good and the location is excellent with the subway right around the corner (although it did take us a while to find the right subway line to return to the same station - there are heaps of platforms at 125th).
The stairs can be a bit of a challenge but are fine as long as you're fit and healthy.
As the other reviewers have said, Milton is fantastic and a mine of information about the area.
We would definitely recommend.

We had a great stay at the apartment it was all it was advertised to be . Milton was great very helpful . The only negative was that I did request a ground floor apartment because of health issues but ended up on the 2nd floor. My husband has bad knees and I have bad ankles and after a long day sightseeing the two flights of stairs were daunting but the apartment was clean and comfortable and the bed was great. The neighbourhood was fun and vibrant with the friendliest people around.If you stay here 125th street is a must with all the street stalls and beautiful personalities we will never forget. We will be back !

I booked New York to celebrate my husbands 50 birthday and after I booked the flights I started looking a accommodation prices and soon realised my budget would not stretch to a hotel in central manhattan. After extensive research I found this apartment, I must admit I was a little apprehensive about the location but I couldn't have been more wrong. The apartment was fantastic, Milton was fantastic, the area was fantastic, Harlem feels perfectly safe, the apartment is seconds for the tube which links quickly to wherever you want to go. There are plenty of fantastic restaurants around the corner so you don't have to travel in the evening if you don't want to. I would highly recommend this apartment.
This apartment rental is great because of Milton. He is the nicest person we've probably met in New York. He met us at the apartment and gave us the keys and even helped us settle in (carry our bags up, give extra towels).
I told him before we left that I'd wished we stayed at his apartment when we went to New York last Christmas/New Year. But I guess now we know. If we ever go back again, we'll definitely stay here again.
Subway is really close just a half a block away! A lot of restaurants around the block, but these restaurants are a little expensive for a short trip, so we ventured out in the Lower Manhattan area. Although, we did have 2 Bros Pizza ($1 slices) and Popeye's which are a couple blocks from the apartment. Also, the apartment is totally safe in my honest opinion. Although, coming from Vancouver,BC, I was a little skeptical at first because I wasn't used to seeing that much street vendors. But they are totally fine as long as you don't mess with them I guess.
It is very convenient from LaGuardia airport where we flew in. One bus ride for about 30-45 mins. I definitely recommend flying to LaGuardia if you're staying around Harlem. It is also less busier airport even when checking in!
Overall, great experience and nothing to complain at all!
