This apartment is a good size for a few days- if you don't mind not having a living space i.e. lounge and dining table (there is seating outside but this outside space is shared with a neighbour). Harlem is located relatively far from NYCs main attractions, however the express subway (2 + 3 line) is only a 3 minute walk away, and can get you to Times Square in 20 minutes, Battery Park (for the Statue of Liberty) in 50 minutes- with other attractions requiring changing onto other subway lines. Noise was a real issue during our stay- sound proofing between this basement flat and the neighbour above is very poor- and the neighbour (and their dog) was active late into the night and early in the morning- we were woken multiple times every night we stayed here by the neighbour moving around. The information left by Natasha was very useful- including a taxi recommendation- and we even found there are free pay phones in NYC which is great for an international tourist to book a taxi with.
