I've lived for a month at Angie's apartment - this is a great cozy place, her daughter Marley is very supportive, and overall I've had a great time there.
There's a lot of space in the room and in the apartment itself.
It's 1,5 blocks away from the subway - the line goes directly to the center of Manhattan, so very convenient. A few blocks away from Central Park.
First, I was worried, about how safe the East Harlem area was, - and it is totally safe, there're mostly Spanish-talking people from Puerto Rico and Afro-Americans, - and I felt safe, was coming home even at night without any troubles.
Highly recommending this apartment, for me it was really the best combination of price and quality.
