Neighbourhood
Welcome to East Harlem, affectionately known as El Barrio! Living here, you're in the heart of a lively Manhattan neighborhood that’s bursting with culture and the tempting aromas of local cuisine.
When you’re ready to dive into the arts and history, the world-famous Museum Mile is just a quick trip away. Board the 6 train downtown and in about 20 minutes, get off at 86th Street. From there, you're a short walk to several top museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which houses over two million works of art spanning 5,000 years. Just a bit further along you’ll find the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, famous for its spiral structure and modern masterpieces.
Exploring beyond the neighborhood is a breeze. For a quintessential NYC experience, Times Square is about 25 minutes away via the 6 train to Grand Central, then a quick hop on the Shuttle S. Central Park, perfect for a midday escape, is even closer—just a 15-minute ride to 68th Street Hunter College.
Interested in seeing the Statue of Liberty? It’s a bit further but straightforward to reach. Take the 4 or 5 train from 125th Street, switch to the 1 train at Fulton Street, and head to South Ferry Station. From there, it’s a quick walk to the ferry terminal. Allow about 45 minutes to an hour for the journey.
After your city adventures, Thomas Jefferson Park in your neighborhood offers the perfect spot to relax. It’s a quieter place where you can enjoy some downtime or just people-watch.
Living here isn’t just about having a place to stay; it’s your gateway to exploring the excitement and wonders of New York City, including some of the world's most famous museums. Dive into everything the city has to offer, then come back to a neighborhood that feels like home. We can’t wait for you to join us here in East Harlem!
Getting to my home
Arriving in East Harlem is straightforward from major transport hubs. LaGuardia is the closest airport, only a quick 30-minute bus ride on the M60 or 15 minute car ride. From JFK, take the AirTrain and E train, then transfer to the 6 line, arriving in about an hour. From Newark, the AirTrain and NJ Transit to Penn Station, followed by the 6 line, take around 75 minutes. If you’re coming by train, Penn Station is just a 20-minute subway ride via the 6 line; from Grand Central, it's only 15 minutes. From the Port Authority Bus Terminal, expect a 30-minute trip using the shuttle and 6 train.

Ximei and Tejas' home is so cute! It is comfortable and has lots of nice little touches, and is super well organized. The bed was very comfy and the shower nice and hot. Ximei was super communicative and responsive. They were even able to troubleshoot an electrical issue for us remotely! We particularly enjoyed eating at Patsy's Pizza in the neighborhood. It was easy to get into midtown and otherwise south in Manhattan. There is not a lot of street noise. We would love to stay there again. -
We enjoyed ourselves so much in NY! Ximei's home is very well located, perfectly connected with every place you will want to visit. The apartment is cozy and very well equipped. Ximei made sure that the house was ready to welcome us (thanks also Julie #30821 for leaving the home so clean and tidy); We were in close contact with her during our stay, she was very caring and helpful. Thanks a lot Ximei and Tejas for hosting us, hopefully we can ever meet in person. -
We had a wonderful time at Ximei's home, my kids and I didn't want to leave ! What an opportunity to stay in NYC ! Ximei is a perfect host, always happy to help ! Her appartment is really fonctional with everything you need ! -
We had an amazing time in New York. The apartment is in a great location for your adventures. Ximei was wonderful to exchange with. Always checking in and making sure everything was OK. We have had a fantastic 9 nights in their lovely home. The transport links made sightseeing easy and very manageable when travelling with my 7 year old. Brilliant exchange partners. Love heloise Rose and natalia x -
Ximei’s home is perfect for a NYC stay! Ximei provided everything we may need to get settled in and we felt very safe and comfortable. The apartment is close to lots of amenities and we especially enjoyed Patsy’s pizza nearby. There were frequent subway trains to downtown around a 10 min walk away. We definitely recommend her apartment if you want to visit NYC! -
We had an amazing time in Ximei’s home in NYC. The place is cozy and clean. Very close to the subway. We usually spend most of our time outside when travelling but we loved every second of being in the apartment. Thank you and we would definitely love to come back! -
We had a wonderful stay at Ximei and Tejas apartment in Harlem, for 10 days in April. The apartment was cozy, spacious, clean, and our hosts made us feel right at home. And the bed was so comfortable, we slept heavenly ! The location was fantastic—close to the subway (4 blocks) and the bus stop right in front of the building , this allowed easy access to Midtown and Downtown Manhattan, and also within walking distance to Central Park. We enjoyed exploring the vibrant neighborhood, which felt safe and welcoming even at night. This home exchange was an authentic New York experience with all the comforts and warmth of a friendly local stay away from the hordes of tourists, we enjoyed springtime in NYC very much ! -
Connecting with Ximei and Tejas has been perfect for us. We had an awesome time in NY with my husband and my son. Ximei was easy to talk to, honest and transparent from the beginning. We had a nice and easy two-way communication. She responded with respect and kindness always. The apartment is well located with easy access to Manhattan and its best venues. The bus stops right outside the door with transfers to the subway just a few blocks away. The apartment was clean and organized with all everything necessary to be comfortable. So far, this has been an awesome experience with PLU. Our last-minute agreement worked out very well for us to spend New Year's in NYC. Thank you Ximei and Tejas. I hope we see each other in the future and you guys are welcome to stay at our house anytime you need. -
We had a great time in NYC! Ximei and her partners apartment was in a great location, well connected to the subway and bus routes. The apartment itself was spacious and tidy, would highly recommend! -
Ximei’s hime is super cosy and after a rather stressful trip, they made me really feel at home and made everything they could to make me as comfortable as possible. Im so grateful! Everything was super clean and comfy, and they pampered me with lots of nice treats. Thanks so much! Will definitely contact if Im ever in NY again!

Ximei
Hello PLU members! My name is Ximei. I'm a professional preschool teacher and I live with my boyfriend, Tejas, who works as a solar engineer. We both have a passion for traveling—thanks to Tejas’s ability to work remotely, we can easily sync our travels with my school breaks. We consider ourselves mature and responsible, always treating others and their properties with respect. We're also avid outdoor adventurers and huge animal lovers, so we'd be more than happy to look after your pets if needed. We're new to this community and still learning the ropes, but we're excited to start connecting and building our profile. Thank you for welcoming us!
