This was a nice place to stay for an affordable trip to NYC. It is very close to a subway station which makes it accessible for travel to other areas of Manhattan. Just remember that it does take time to travel from Harlem to lower Manhattan and figure that into your plan. Kofi is a great host and very responsive to questions. I would say that the kitchen has bare necessities, but if you don't plan to cook it works out perfectly. The apartment was extremely warm. Average temperature outside during our visit was 40 and the apartment stayed around 74-75 inside without the heat on. We had to open windows frequently to cool it down some. Kofi has a wide selection of books and movies. I really enjoyed looking at the Humans of New York book. It was great to see his mementos from his travels also.
