Sophisticated Soul

This art-filled apartment in Harlem is packed with personality, so you’ll soon feel right at home. Bright colours and bold prints help create a space that’s warm and welcoming, while big windows ensure plenty of natural light. There are also two workspaces – handy if you’re in the city for work. One slight downside is the lack of a lift. But if you don’t mind the climb to the third floor, we think the location makes this a winner. You’ll be in the heart of Harlem, with restaurants and bars a short walk away. You can even stroll to Central Park from here, while Morningside Park is nearby for picnics and play dates closer to home.

Home truths:
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb four levels to reach the entrance of the home.
*There are no laundry facilities in the apartment or the building, however there's a laundromat within walking distance.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
*A car isn't essential here, however your host may be able to help arrange parking if needed – speak to them in advance for more details.
