very nice apartment, but it’s harlem and specifically a few blocks away from 125th street…so yea. i wouldn’t go out exploring in this area necessarily, but daytime is fair game just be mindful of your surroundings as you always should be anyways. good communication with host, there is an annoying roach problem though? ideally they’re aware and have handled it. we cleaned religiously our whole 2 month stay, and they were still always there. still, really nice apartment.
