The apartment is on the 3rd floor which is fine - upon arrival the elevator had broken down and wasn't fixed in the time we were there so be prepared to take the stairs if need be. The apartment was very warm so we did run the window AC while we were sleeping to cool it down a little bit. There are quite a few restaurants/bars within walking distance and the Subway is only a block away which makes getting around a lot easier. The neighborhood is a little "busy" but we never felt unsafe and walked into Harlem multiple times. I would definitely stay here again.
