I stayed for about four weeks at Aram’s apartment. I have very much enjoyed this stay in the Morningside Heights neighborhood. Aram is a great host, he made me feel at home from the first day of my arrival. The bedroom that I lived in is spacious which is again very good if you are planning to stay for a longer time. The room (and nicely decorated apartment) is great for living (with a very comfortable bed and a good air conditioner if needed and a big closet) and also functionally equipped for computer work (access to Wi-Fi was very easy). I also highly appreciated all the helpful tips that I received from Aram, like where to rent a bike or where to buy good and reasonably priced groceries, on good restaurants and cafés or interesting places nearby. Aram is a communicative, relaxed and very reliable person, which made check-in and check-out and living together very easy. The apartment (and shared bathroom and kitchen) was always tidy and clean. Aram leaves a good amount of space for his guests to store groceries and bathroom toiletries, which really gave me the feeling that I am welcome and that I am actually sharing a place with someone. I also loved the company of Aram’s friendly cats (Zora and Bear) which I really became friends with. All in all I can recommend Aram’s apartment without any reservation to anyone looking for a nice (and quiet) place to stay in a ›real neighborhood‹ in New York, which is – due to the near subway station – close enough to the hustle and bustle of Downtown Manhattan.
