Travelling to NYC in November for the first time and there's a reasonably priced airbnb in Central Harlem. Is that a safe area for 4 females to roam around late at night? I also read on Reddit that short term rentals in NYC are illegal...? Is that true? Should I avoid Airbnbs?

They aren’t legal per say. I do think pre covid Harlem was safe and now that bail reform in NYC anyone can commit almost any crime and be released until there hearing which is currently letting crazy people be openly crazy with minimal repercussions. So a lot of pockets that house projects are getting risky to be around and also the subway late night.

Harlem can be safe but be careful at night. Also, Airbnb might be illegal, but people still do it. I don't think you should avoid it, and don't be loud at night, the police have to come to the place.

Central harlem is generally safe. But things could still happen so be careful as you would anywhere else in NYC. Also, yes short-term rentals are illegal in New York. You would want to stay away from anything illegal as a tourist.

I'd say it is still safe in Harlem. But you just have to take extra measures to ensure your safety.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?
