Good deal for your money. The apartment is located in Spanish Harlem. This is surely not the most posh neighborhood in NYC but appears to be safe. Sure there are some noisy crowds but nobody really bothers you. The apartment is basic but clean. The best part is that the host is very responsive and if you are unhappy about something she will try to fix it quickly and enthusiastically. The subway station is 1-2 minutes away by foot so transportation has been a breeze for me.
