The host was amazingly hospitable and welcoming. I felt right at home and comfortable.
As a female traveling solo for work and leisure, I am very conscious to select a place where safety is a priority. The property was very safe and secure. I really liked the dual key entrance and security cameras. The neighbors were friendly and greeted you in the common areas, i.e the elevator, front lobby.
You are most definitely getting your money's worth with this place. The apartment is located in a pre-war building with elevator. It's nice and clean, with freshly laundered linens. You also have your own private room as well as secured Wi-Fi.
I also appreciated the 1 sign posted in the bathroom in regards to water conservation. We have to be mindful to treat this beautiful earth of ours well. Anyone who has any global awareness knows that there are water shortages occurring around the world. I enjoy doing my part as a concerned citizen because there are simply too many people who lack this critical awareness: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/ways_to_save_water/dodont.shtml; www.charitywater.org
Another big perk for this property is: LOCATION!!! The location is super close to the 145th street subway, buses, Yankee Stadium is under 10 minute drive away, and historic Harlem 125th street is 1 stop away on the train.
If you're a novice to the Big Apple, you might think your only way of getting around is by yellow cab (by far the most expensive option-be prepared to spend a lot of $$$), however the most cost effective method is via subway. Secondarily, you can opt to take UBER or LYFT or VIA.
Happy Travels!
