NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW / TIPS for RESTAURANTS and STORES
Harlem is very vivid with new many restaurants of all cuisines , jazz clubs, trendy coffees and pubs, Whole-food, and the 125th commercial corridor with all the big chains . Some specific recommendations:
1) For Groceries: There is a small shop on the corner of 134th and 7th ave ( just cross the street and go to the corner) and they are open 24/7 for the immediate essentials including milk and juice. For more serious shopping - there is a new Wholefood on 125th and 6th, but there are other supermarkets ( less fancy but good) close to the house (132/8th, and 130/6th). Before WholeFood opened I use to go to Best Market for the best sushi you can ask for ( 8th ave between 118 and 119) . it is a walk but it worth it if you like sushi.
2) for Resturants- My favorite is on the other side of 7th Ave (between 134 and 133) -Yatenga. Go two blocks south , on the corner of 132 you will find Renaissance which is open also for breakfast . I also like The Edge Cafe on 139th and Edgcombe ave. Treat yourself one day to Red Rooster, corner Social, Barawine ( all on Lenox between 126th and 120). There are also good restaurants on 8th ave ( from 117 to 127)
3) Many Jazz places around. The closest one is Bill’s Place, on 148 W 133rd st. Twov minutes walk. Bill and company play jazz in the basement on Friday's and Saturday's eves . Go online and book a 20 $ ticket and come early as the seats are not marked..

After reading reviews about the area I was a little worried being a single female staying here. I need not have worried at all. I didn’t feel unsafe and I would regularly use the subway late at night too (like getting back at 2-3am). I do want to point out that I would always use the C train (A train late at night) because the 2/3 train did feel a bit sketchy even during the day. Going from the apartment towards St Nicholas was fine, but going the opposite direction towards Lenox - that area seems a little seedier. I never felt unsafe walking around in the day but wouldn’t go that direction at night.
The apartment itself was roomy. I was there during winter and it was cold out but always warm inside. The little kitchen was great.
The bathroom is big enough but there were a few drainage issues near the end of the stay (used Drano to help fix it).
At one point, a fuse blew during my stay and I had no power in the big room, but it was sorted out quickly by the host which I appreciated.
There are plenty of place to eat and get supplies within a few blocks of the apartment too.
For the price I would definitely recommend staying here. I enjoyed my stay and would like to come back some time.

I had a great few months staying in both of the units in this brownstone. I started a new job locally and it was the perfect walk to work and temporary stay while I searched for an apartment in this insane apartment market. Mina was very responsive and friendly if I ever needed anything. Living in Harlem was an awesome experience and I highly recommend staying in her centrally located units.

I needed a place quick and convenient to stay for a month long business trip and this was perfect. Just a few short blocks away from the Subways, bike rentals almost on every other corner; great eateries near by; convenient stores everywhere; and close enough to midtown where I worked for a month.
there was a small club around the corner that would get lively around 10;30-11pm, but quickly fade out in a couple hours. Host was always reachable and responded in a timely manner. Access wasn't permitted to the back deck though, but that was minor since I don't smoke. all in all it was a good choice.
