Hey, travelers! It was my first time in NYC and also my first experience of ever using airbnb. That's why I was a bit concerned about how it was all gonna be, how safe it is and so on... What I can say - it all turned out just great. Pavel's place is a small, but very functional and cozy studio, perfect for 1 or 2 people. Clean, and has everything you'd need. Metro is a few minutes walk away and in 20 minutes you are on Times Square! Pavel is a very hospitable, polite and respectful host, who's glad to tell you about the area, answer all your questions, recommend some really cool jazz bars in Harlem, and interesting places in the city. In contrast to what some may think, Harlem is a quiet and friendly place to stay. You will be surprised by amount of smiles and greetings from people passing you by on the street. Highly recommended! :)
