First of all: Kaz and his team are one of the kindest hosts I have every stayed with. They are always there for you and if there are any problems, they will fix them within hours.
The room itself is very spacious for NYC, you have a lot of room to store your things and the location is really nice as well. The 6-train runs 3-4 minutes away from the place and it brings you to Grand Central in about 18 minutes and goes all the way down to the Brooklyn Bridge. There are plenty of Bus-stations around the area as well. Also the Central Park is just a couple of minutes away by walking. The people living in the house were really friendly. Its a latino neighborhood, the people were super friendly in general and nice to me and welcomed me everywhere I was. Of course it is helpful to speak a little Spanish in Spanish Harlem. You have a great little mexican restaurant with really nice owners just next to your house and plenty of other restaurants/bars to discover. I lived there in February which is why it still was a little sleepy (and of course cold). Of course, be aware that you are living in nyc, which is in general not the safest place to be. But this part of east-harlem is very safe, I never felt uncomfortable or unsafe, even coming home very late in the night.
The only negative thing was, that you will stay with two other guys, who seem to live there long-term. Basically there is no problem with them, they are not very communicative which is kind of normal for shared flats in New York. But they are not very clean, especially in the bathroom. I have talked to the team about that problem and they have talked to them to solve this issue. Besides that, I had a great stay and highly recommend the place.
Thank you again Kaz for making my stay as easy as possible!
