We really like Hussam's place, which is a well-designed studio, with comfortable bed, big tv screen, and a great outdoor third floor patio that really expands the space. It is on a tree-lined street of mostly brownstone walkups, very close to many great restaurants and subway stops. If you are looking for touches of interior elegance, this is not for you; but Hussam's place has all the essentials for a home base to get out and experience the city. Plus, Hussam was uncommonly responsive to all our requests and very eager to help us make our visit to Harlem a success.
