The neighborhood is a national historic district in Manhattan, New York City. It consists of 113 contributing residential row-houses built between 1886 and 1896. The buildings are three story brownstone and brick row-houses over raised basements in the Queen Anne, Romanesque, and Neo-Grec styles. There is a peaceful, residential spirit throughout the neighborhood, evidenced by street pick-up basketball games and block parties. But Harlem is also home to a thriving cultural scene, which brings a constant vibrancy and excitement to the neighborhood. In Harlem, weekend dining and coffee culture are as significant as the nightlife scene. Live jazz brunches at venues like Harlem Tavern and Ginny’s Supper Club attract diners wi

Reviewer: Li
Comments: My mom and me had a nice stay at Matt and Rick's place where is so close to an interesting French restaurant. Rick checked us in and offered everything that we needed. The place was close to Columbia University and all major transpositions. It was easy and cheap to take a Lyft or Line to Broadway and the Times Square. The room was very clean and looked exactly like what was shown in pictures. We would love to be their guests when we visit NYC in the near future.

Reviewer: Marichuy
Comments: The host's are lovely and kind people. They gave us great advice on how to get around NY and made our stay memorable. Everything is as seen in the pictures. Very clean, organized and secured home. They had everything we needed such as towels, tea, and coffee. I would definitely book with them again next time I'm in NYC. If you are thinking of booking with them don't hesitate and go for it you won't be disappointed.

Reviewer: Annabelle
Comments: Matt’s place was great; a large room in Manhattan close to many restaurants and Subway stations. It was quiet, clean and I had a lot of privacy. I stayed there for three weeks, and would recommend it to everybody. The communication was smooth at all times. I even got to know the name of their fish. :-) Thank you Matt & Rick!

Reviewer: Anna
Comments: Matts Unterkunft ist ideal für einen längeren Besuch in New York. Matt hat uns (auch noch spät abends) persönlich empfangen und stand uns bei Fragen stets zur Seite. Die Lage ist echt super! Es war sehr ruhig für so eine große Stadt und wir waren mit der Subway in kurzer Zeit an allen 'wichtigen' Orten. Beim nächsten Besuch in New York City würden wir es auf jeden Fall wieder buchen.

Reviewer: Mélanie
Comments: 10 jours passés dans cet air bnb, lit vraiment très confortables! Les hôtes étaient également très sympas, et disponibles dès que nous avions des questions. Prévoir les boules quies pour dormir si vous avez le sommeil léger, car on entend pas mal les bruits extérieurs. Tout le confort nécessaire pour un séjour de 10 jours, je recommande !

Reviewer: Seamus
Comments: We were on a sightseeing trip to NYC, and this place was an ideal base. It’s close to shopping, and 3 minutes from the subway, the link to everything in New York. The bedroom was a good size, with a really comfortable bed and an excellent wardrobe. It was right next to the kitchen and bathroom. We didn’t cook, but had breakfast there. It’s right in Harlem, an exciting and lively part of Manhattan. Rick and Matthew are excellent hosts, with a detailed knowledge of New York. We would happily stay here again.

Reviewer: Kaylie

It was our first time in New York and found the directions & tips provided really useful (especially the directions from the airport to the air bnb). We felt very welcome & comfortable in the apartment. We loved the space in the room & the bed was comfy. Ideal location as it is so close to the subway which made it ideal for seeing lots of New York in the short time we were here.
