Don't let the media fool you. Harlem is an interesting and vibrant part of New York that any person would be lucky to stay in. Christopher is one of the residents that reflect this. From our initial meeting he was kind and accommodating. He had everything set up for us and ready to go. In addition, the apartment was clean and cozy, not to mention the amazing hospitality he provided. Christopher has also been a resident of New York for many years, therefore his knowledge of the area is superb, which he was willing to share with us despite our endless questions. If I ever go back to Harlem, it's Christopher's place I will stay at!
