Kev's place is close to 2 subway stations (that serve the A, 2, and 3 lines), which have great connections to get to Lower/Midtown Manhattan and to the Bronx. Harlem's a great place to live in. The neighborhood itself has the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, which has a great selection of books and a well-thought out bookstore. There are some amazing soul food locations near the apartment as well. We had a great stay at Kev's place.
