As a college student who spontaneously booking a trip to NYC just to get out of the slow-paced L.A. and re-emerge myself in the hustle and bustle of a real city, I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at. A little southwest of Harlem, Morningside Heights is actually a quite nice neighborhood. I had a great time walking around, with a nice little laundry service nearby on 110th called Lalo, as well as several restaurants and grocery stores just blocks away. The subway A/C line is just 2 blocks away too. If you yearn for a run or for nature, Central Park is just 8 blocks away!

Aram, true to the words of a previous recommendation, is a sophisticated gentleman that made my stay as pleasant as can be. He's a great guy to converse with, very easygoing, helpful and understanding. I'm glad to have made yet another friend in NYC!
