Our stay at Samir’s place was just what we expected. The room had all the minimal comforts of home to make it comfortable. Samir converses well and is anxious to make your stay pleasant. It was clean, very quiet, and we had no reservations about a stay in Harlem. We had use of the kitchen, and even though the apartment is on the 6th floor it’s well worth the extra effort to make this home for the weekend. The beds are comfortable and even the neighbors were friendly. For the cost of the rental this is an excellent bargain as we only wanted a safe, secure place to sleep well at night. This is a no frills - low budget rental that has good places to eat nearby and is between 2 subway stops. We will definitely reserve Samir’s place again for our next visit to NYC.
