We had a great stay in Gorgeous Trendy Studio in New York.
It's a bit away from downton but the next subway station can be reached within 5 minutes walking and from there you need 15 minutes to Times Square.

We had some concerns about Harlem which was just because some kind of culture shock I guess. However we never had any problems, people were friendly and we felt quite comfortable after some days.

We never met Charlie, but Edwin is a nice person. Thank you!

The apartment was clean and comfortable but we expected it to be a bit bigger. However, I think for New York this is okay.

We'd stay here again. :-)
