“A month to be remembered!!” We had a great time over NYC!!! The location of the apartment was excellent, just one block to the subway, Tammy the landlord was also great with the e-mails on time, the inside of the apartment was clean, with everything we did need for our stay over there, we really loved it!!!

“Carib Isles Dance Group” I booked this apt for the location to Marcus Garvey Park for the dance group of 6 and I have to say that we all had a great time. Milton is a great host. I know he was skeptical about the group but I think we resolved that. Our guest was able to visit and we had easy access to transportation and shopping. The stairs was a bit but we look at it as great exercise after all that good food we ate. I am looking forward to next year's caribbean festival and hope to be able to book the same place.

“Amazing apartment” A total of 8 of us stayed at this apartment. We are university students and not only was it really affordable but it was much better than we expected. The apartment was very clean and there is plenty of space, both for socialising and sleeping. The apartment is located very close to various subway stations and this makes it really easy to travel, around 10 or 15 minutes to Times Square. I would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to returning in the future!

“Delightful apartment with delightful owner” This apartment is the perfect size for two people, and well situated close to the subway, so all of Manhattan is easily reached. The apartment is beautifully decorated and fully equipped, and as it is on the ground floor, very handy for us older folk. This was our second stay in one of Milton Wilson's apartments. He is so warm, friendly and helpful that we would never stay anywhere else if we return to New York. Harlem is a fascinating area with plenty of shops and restaurants. Though a noisy main street is nearby, the apartment is quiet and peaceful. I would certainly recommend this or the other apartments in the building to anyone else visiting New York.

“Wonderful host” My brother and I stayed here last summer. The outdoor garden was a terrific bonus. Great location , near subway and very friendly neighborhood. Milton and family were so warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this.

“Great Location, well appointed, perfect for a vist to New York” We were two couples visiting New York for the first time and found this apartment perfect for our needs, convenient to shops and transport and the sights of Harlem. The apartment was well appointed, clean and roomy making our stay very compfortable. Perfect for self catering with a big kithcn and living area for us to spread out and not get under each others feet. I would highly recommend this apartment.

“Great Stay, Great Unit, Great Owner, Great savings!!!” I know vacation rentals in NYC are controversial, and consensus on the web seems to be: Don't, it's too risky. I'm here to say it can be done, just do your homework first. This place was way above expectations. Four adults and a child were able to stay here at less than half of what it would cost for a couple low budget hotel rooms in mid-town. The owner could not have been more friendly or responsive, we emailed & texted each other repeatedly. She was full of advice about what to do, where to eat, how to get there, etc. She made the process of booking, and checking in and out very easy. She went above and beyond, like leaving food for our arrival, or sending out our laundry as the washer was broken. It was like staying with a friend. The unit was very nice, the kitchen and bath were newly remodeled. It was roomy enough that on our last night there, we cooked dinner & had a small party with 13 people in the living room at one point! The building and street were beautiful and historic, clean, fairly quiet, and safe. Great trees! One night my wife and I sat on stoop, had a glass of wine and the only other people we saw were hustling back and forth to the subway. It was a 1/2 block to the subway, and from there, quick cheap and easy to get anywhere in Manhattan. One caveat is that not everyone will be comfortable walking around in Harlem, especially at night, though you probably need to take it block by block. On some of the other streets, we encountered some people who were loud and profane, but we never felt threatened or unsafe. That being said, if you don't want to go out to a Harlem restaurant or club at night, you can safely walk to or from the subway even late in the evening. Or take a cab. Between the low rates, the close-by subway, and eating in, the savings just piled up. We were able to do the near impossible - Manhattan on a budget!

“Perfect location and an easy walk to the trains” Apartment was very clean and had beautiful art and high ceilings. Exceptionally quiet for such an active area. Fantastic bars and restaurants right outside the lobby door. We had a fantastic time and Kira is a great host. If you want to experience all that NYC has to offer, this is the perfect launching spot.

“Peace of Mind and Convenience in the "Big apple"!” We are from NY Harlem but have been living abroad in Dubai for the past 10 years. Our first positive impression of the owner and our host, Milton Wilson, was when he actually returned our call inquiring about the apartment -- he actually returned our call to Dubai! We booked and stayed at Mr. Wilson's townhouse for two weeks in august 2013. Our original plan was to stay 3 days at a hotel downtown and then move to Harlem. The hotel we booked downtown was horrendous so we called Mr. Wilson after the first night and asked if we could come earlier than our reservation of 3 days later. Mr. Wilson said "come on" and re-arranged his schedule during a torrent rainstorm to meet and get us settled in. He has several rentals in and around Harlem so he has the resources that allow him flexibility. More importantly, as most of Mr. Wilson's guests are coming from places which require long, ardurous flights. Being a man of the world himself, he is understanding and compassionate about the plights of long-distance travelers. We waited for Mr. Wilson about a half-hour; but, within the hour, he had us "tucked-in" a beautiful, warm, dry and secure second-floor apartment overlooking the perfectly groomed garden visible from the bedroom. Mr. Wilson is a walking encyclopedia of Harlem-its history and development-and stands ready and willing to disclose that knowledge just for the asking. Yea, he's very busy; an architect by trade, but also a natural businessman and conversationalist who loves to chat; and, above all, an ardent listener. He's not intrusive; but will always, no matter how busy, make time for his guests. The perfect location is convenient to everything. I intend to re-visit Milton's townhouse very soon and highly recommend the beautiful stay to all our international family and friends who want a comfortable, safe, unobtrusive, "home away from home" in the great -- but chaotic and ever-changing -- metropolitan of New York (even if you think you know it well)!

“Great apartment with everything you need” Clean, cozy, and has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. It’s also very close to the subway. Thank you Patrick and Patricia.

“Perfect Place in Manhatten” I reluctantly give a Garden in Chelsea a rave review. My reluctance is pure selfishness. If I tell you how great it is, it will only become more difficult to book it for myself. Seriously, great owners, beautiful space, perfect location. Book it if you can.

“Best decision ever!” Our stay in New York was fantastic, with many thanks to Blanca and Teddy. They were so welcoming, accomodating and understanding from start to finish! They gave us great ideas of things to do, and really gave us insight into how New Yorkers live. Cannot thank them enough for their hospitality, they are genuinely lovely people! would highly recommend this apartment to anyone going to New York. As two young girls, we were concerned about safety, we had nothing to worry about!! The area was lovely, and Blanca and Teddy ensured us they were there if we needed anything! They went truly above and beyond! Much more than any hotel would ever have offered. The bed was very comfortable, apartment meticulously clean, shower was fantastic and apartment had everything we needed, including the supermarket and subway, just around the corner.

“Best Manhattan apartment deal !” Fantastic value, very friendly service, and great facilities and location. I recommend this place to all my friends and colleagues going to NYC !

“Very Enjoyable, The Owner was welcoming, Beautiful, Clean Apartment!!” This was a wonderful area of Harlem, close to all methods of transportation. Also a very vibrant area with multiple choice of restaurants and live music. It is also near to several beautiful parks, most well known would be central park. The Apartment was well kept, beautiful and clean, also very welcoming. There is a lovely laundromat a few feet away at the corner of the street. There is also a wonderful farmers market, every Tuesday outside the famous Adam Clayton Powell Building, on 125th Street. This was a wonderful experience, I wholeheartedly recommend this 'Beautiful Clean Apartment'!!
