“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!

“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.

“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!!!

“Great stay!” The room was very clean, cozy and in a nice quiet location of the city. There were a few nice restaurants nearby, and it is not far from NY Times Square.

“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!

“A Wonderful Experience!” This apartment was a wonderful find and the property manager, Lisa Grossman, was exceptional to work with. Lisa helped us out at the very last minute when another apartment hoax (also on homeaway) left us stranded with no place to stay. She re-arranged her day to accommodate us and was very communicative. This is important because some of the properties and their managers are not! Once in the apartment, we were overwhelmed with how nice it was and how spacious. The pictures do this place justice. We also had perfect weather and were able to thoroughly enjoy the back yard deck-a real bonus in mid-town. The neighborhood has a ton of restaurants and bars and the location is ideal for getting to just about any of the major destinations. We would rent this place again without hesitation. Just a perfect weekend!

“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)!
