A friend & I stayed for 3 nights at Carlos' place in Harlem, NYC. There is a bus directly from LaGuardia airport to a stop about 4 blocks from Carlos' place. Upon our arrival, Carlos gave us a warm welcome & explained how to get around with public transport. The apartment is very cozy, the room was as depicted on the pictures here and had enough space for the two of us.
We used public transportation daily to get to Manhattan - with the express train it took only around 15-20 min. We definitely recommend this place and we will come back !
On Sunday, we had brunch at Maison Harlem - very crowded, but definitely recommended and just 2min walking distance from Carlos' place.
