We loved Maria's place in Harlem. She made it a very welcoming experience. There was a nice little kitchen and it was close to a subway station (as well as Harlem Hospital, which, thankfully we didn't need). It is close to Alexander Hamilton's Grange as well as many historic Harlem churches and landmarks. Highly recommend a trip to Amy Ruth's on 116th for great soul food (honey fried chicken and waffle is a must). We would definitely stay here again. A great value for NYC and very kind, gracious folks.
