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!

Harlem is a colorful and cheerful place to stay. The flat is perfect for 4 persons, it is as what the pictures show. The owner of the building, Mr Milton Wilson is the best!!. I hardly recommend to rent this place.
Milton as I told you I will visit you again next May.

So glad that we decided to rent this charming townhouse in Harlem. It was everything the owner said it was. We had a two block ride to the subway station and a ten minute ride to time square. It was very quite and comfortable. The owner is a very nice gentleman that immediately made us feel welcomed. Would definitely rent this place again.

This was by far the perfect place for my partner and I. This beautiful gem is only walking distance to Fabulous restaurants, shopping, train stations, and much more. Only 20 minutes away from Times Square and other major attractions. Parking was NEVER a problem. We stayed in this beautiful, cozy studio that felt like home. When we arrived, we immediately wanted to stay in. Mr Wilson was very accommodating, professional, easy going and a pleasure to do business with. He is very knowledgeable of the area and knows the history of the Harlem community. I will definitely be staying here again!

We had a lovely time, the flat, the location and the owner were perfect.
Everything was very easy and the property contains everything you need for a holiday; kettle, toaster, coffee machine, oven, microwave, hairdryer, iron, etc..
The location is great, 2 stops only from the north of Central Park and 5 stops from Times Square.
Milton was a great host, always helpful and although he lives in the same building, we hardly saw him. When we did, it was lovely to chat with him.
