Location is not in the heart of Manhattan, but because it is in Harlem you get more space for your money. 2 bathrooms is really a plus. The "bed" in the living/kitchen space when used limits the space you have to sit down and chill out, but the teenager who used it didn't share space with everyone else and she was happy about that. It did mean though only one chair beside the stools in the kitchen had to be used if you want to gather after a long day and watch the news. With most of us checking our news on computers or phones it wasn't a big deal though and with 2 bedrooms and an open space bedroom it was a good trade off. It is only a few blocks to the number 2-3 subway so that is very convenient as well as great breakfast spots and French bakery. Outside steps are steep and inside hallway to the living space a bit narrow, so if someone in your party uses a cane or walker, this would be difficult to navigate. The positives out weigh the cons though and we very much enjoyed our stay here.
