Although neither Joseph nor his contact, Sara, were able to meet us in person, we had good communication via email and all the information we were given proved apt and useful. The studio apartment is very well-situated just a block away from Morningside Park and the upper west side of Central Park. A few blocks further away are the cultural hotspots of the Apollo Theater and all the wonders of a vibrant Harlem. There was a huge variety of eating places, delis and interesting things to see all within minutes of the street. The area is also blessed with fast and frequent subway links that take you all the way to The Battery and The Bronx. The street was busy but the apartment was conveniently situated on the ground floor and the nights were peaceful.
