Peiyi's apartment was superclean at the time I arrived - both the room and the bathroom. Although I stayed for 2 nights, I've never met Peiyi, she most probably works a lot. Self check in, instructions were clear. When I arrived, clean towels, some snacks and two bottle of waters were prepared which was lifesaver! The place is located roughly 30 minutes bus or metro ride from downtown Manhatten which is awesome. Just across the street there is a small deli with 5 dollar meals. I am a well travelled (backpacked 30+ countries) young adult and heard about Harlem - the area is definitely is what you can expect from Harlem, although I did not encounter even a bad look from the locals. People from the neighbouring buildings sometimes gather around this building's entrance for some evening chat but immediately cleared the way when I wanted to enter the door. Wouldn't say it's a 5 star area - go get Manhatten for triple the price if you are bothered by this :) Staying at Peiyi's place was altogether flawless for the price.
