Great place to stay if your going to be in New York. We travelled from California and heard that Harlem can be a little rough but that was not the case. There were times we walked home late at night and were completely fine. So the area is nothing to worry about. Also there is 2 metro lines close by so that's another plus. The room was a great size considering your in NYC. Bedding was comfy and cats were delighted to be around us and have us give them attention
