Safe in the heart of Harlem, with a tone for transportation options in less then 5 minutes. Supermarket is close and the kitichen in the house can save a few bucks. From when I got there till I left they were outstanding host. I came just before a massive cold snap and they provided additional blankets and an extra heater. They took care of the snow and showed through action they care. Cant recommend highly enough. It’s super close to Columbia University so you could stay there for a term easily.
