Comfortable room in a residential building in West Harlem, a cool neighborhood. The host, Viviana, was super helpful. Her home is very close to the subway, which I used to travel downtown each day for an arts fair. I really enjoyed exploring West Harlem and found some excellent coffee cafes to start my morning off right. My favorite is the tiny Monkey Cup on Amsterdam. I stayed at Viviana's 10 nights and highly recommend it for New York trips.
