My friend and I stayed for a week at Edda's! She is very friendly and helpful, always ready to give you tips about what is interesting to see. The flat is close to the subway that goes downtown and the neighborhood is not sketchy despite what we were told about Harlem before coming to NYC. The air cooler is a bit old so it takes time to cool down the room and is noisy. But in the end it's a real bargain if you intend to stay for a couple of days.
