This place is cool. Max is a great host. Left drinks in the mini-fridge that I really appreciated after getting in very late. He was really accommodating when I needed scheduling flexibility. The place is thoughtfully decorated and feels really safe. The vibe is a little like a hostel but with private rooms? I liked staying in Harlem, and had not problems, but if you're not familiar with the area, you might want to coming in a taxi or lyft it you come later at night.
