We went to NY last week of October 2016 and stayed for 6 nights at Lillian's place in Harlem.
The flat is reallly spacious, comfortable, clean and super well - equipped.
At night it is very quiet and allows an excellent sleep. The Harlem scene is also very pleasant.
It takes 15min with the subway express lines 2 and 3 to reach Time Square.
We saw Lillian on arrival to fix a small problem and on departurs to give her back the keys.
In the meantime she was very reactive to our text msg and advised us on various topics.
A very NICE place to stay in New York.
