It was a pleasure staying in Aida's home. She was very communicative and helpful with directions and suggestions for coffee shops and eateries. The location in South Harlem was convenient for my short subway ride to a conference I attended in Times Square. One suggestion for guests might be to bring soap and a washcloth, if that's what you're used to. Otherwise, everything provided was super clean and the room had more than enough space, good lighting, and a comfy bed!
