We spent 2 nights at Barbara's apartment in Harlem. It was on a surprisingly quiet street, 3 blocks from nearest subway station. Very easy to get into the central parts of NYC. The bedroom itself was clean and spacious for 2 people, and the bathroom while nothing fancy, was also spacious and sufficient for our needs. There was a small kitchen and dining area but we did not end up using either as we were out most of the time.
Barbara was super friendly and helpful, made us feel right at home. Although she lives in the downstairs room and shares the bath and kitchen with us, we only saw her during checkin. We felt like we hd the place to ourselves.
Overall, good value for your money in NYC.
