While Harlem is a bit farther from the typical things a visitor of NYC usually looks for, it must be said that this place is very well served by both train and buses. Staying in Harlem also means you get to see a side of NYC that a lot of visitors miss and which is very interesting. The place is impeccably clean (and I don't use the term lightly) and the people who run it outstandingly friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it and would stay there again.
