We had a good time at Stacey's place, he is such a great and welcoming host. He gave us lots of recommendations and useful tips. Harlem is probably not the best choice for first-time visitors in New York and walking by night doesn't always feel 100% safe, btw downtown is just 20min away by metro and Stacey's apartment is well served by many metro lines. The apartment is on the 5th floor (no elevator) and the room is like depicted in photos. Even though the bathroom is shared, it is clean enough but extra care would have been appreciated. It was such a pleasure to share our time with a true New Yorker like Stacey!
