This is a great place to stay in northern Manhattan if you want an affordable option that is still clean and has a private
bedroom. Convenient access to the metro. It's between Harlem and Washington Heights so if you want to spend most of your time in southern Manhattan you'll need the trains/buses. One heads-up: there are air conditioners in all the windows and thus none of them close, so it is very noisy, especially at night. No way to block out the sounds of the city. Other than that issue, Juan was a very gracious host and assisted me with everything I needed during my stay.
