This is a great place to stay for budget travels to NYC. Its close enough to get everywhere by train and the apartment is conveniently a few blocks from the train stop. The apartment is small but perfect for the on the go traveler who is just looking for a place to crash at night. Harlem isnt the cleanest/prettiest neighborhood in NY but it seems to be safe enough. Barbara is very sweet and accomodating. Shes not around much cause of work but is always available by text and helpful with directions. We did get to hang out with her our last night in town and we all went dancing! very fun! :)
