Benat and his wife greeted me and showed me the room in their brownstone building when I arrived and I could not have been more pleased with the place. The room was clean and the bathroom was close by down the hall and immaculate . Because of my intense work schedule we never connected beyond that initial visit since I got up very early and often got back very late. I never heard or saw them after that fist meeting but despite the fact they have young children I never heard them and never had any disturbances after my long days of work. The room was small but more than acceptable and although I bring my own towels, soap and shampoo, they provided them. I had the fan on during my stay as the weather was hot and that worked out very well. The neighborhood is nice and I had no issues as I recall with noise. There is gentrification that is continually happening within Harlem , I always felt safe when I got back from work in the late evening. There are also very nice restaurants and places to get food and drink nearby the apartment building. The location is accessible to Midtown where I was working during the week. I took Uber to and from the hotel where I was was attending meeting and it worked out very well. On the first day I walked from Midtown to Harlem and although it was a long walk it's a very pleasant one where long stretches of the route can be accomplished alongside Central Park. My only complaint was that the room was on the third floor and it meant a little extra work on my part to get up and down with my luggage but it's good exercise . I would recommend their room to anyone.
