Overall, I enjoyed my 3 months longterm stay here. Anna and Vittorio are both friendly and responsive, the apartment is clean (and gets cleaned approximately once a week), the room is spacious, and the interior makes you feel like you are living in New York. The apartment is situated very close to the subway and in walking distance to various restaurants and super markets. However, I wouldn't recommend staying in East Harlem, if you are not used to people looking/acting different than yourself. I didn't feel unsafe there, but one of my roommates moved out early because of the neighborhood. Also, I wouldn't recommend staying there if you are a morning person, because the floor is very squeaky. I was told to be careful with the floor, so I had to be sneaking around.
