This is a great place from which to explore the rest of Manhattan. It’s less than a block away from 2 subway lines which will take you to other places in Manhattan in 20 minutes or so. I liked that it was literally and figuratively above the crowds and business of midtown and downtown. It’s also a great place from which to explore the history of Harlem. History is all around you. The host is the epitome of Super Host: warm, friendly, accommodating, and extremely helpful. She responded quickly and took care of my minor issues (mostly about the TV). The practicals are also good: water pressure in the bathroom, firm and comfortable mattress, all the supplies that one could need, and security. I look forward to going back to New York and to Historic Harlem’s place.
