They describe it as near Columbia and all of the reviews speak positively about the neighborhood, including how close this is to the subways.

Harlem has changed so much in the last 20 years. It is highly gentrified, but remains really interesting. We walked extensively around Harlem during our last trip and found it safe and comfortable.

Of course, it's not in the middle of things, but the subway can get you there in a hurry.

Looks like you found a great place!
