Just like the title of this place says this is really a peaceful corner in the lively Harlem.
You have everything just right there: Supermarket, convenience store, pharmacy, laundry, restaurants, bank, coffee shop and more. There are two subway stations less than half mile away, there are also couple of bus stops just outside the building. I felt safe in the neighborhood, I stayed there 10 days and used to walk back from the subway station to the apartment around 2 or 3 am and never felt unsafe.
Taela is a great host, she lets you enjoy your staying and gives answer to any question you might have, she won't ever bother you at all.
I really recommend Taela's place. If I am back in New York I'll make sure to comeback to this peaceful place in Harlem.
