The room is fully furnished with a double size bed and a large twin size convertible sofa bed and has a private 'ensuite' bathroom with a jacuzzi bathtub and a shower.

For larger groups or for stays over one month, both units can be rented together as the Ground Floor Suite.

These furnished bed & breakfast accommodations are found in West Harlem, a part of Upper New York City, an area rich in music, art and theatre venues, unique restaurants and parks. Within 2-10 blocks, there are 6 music venues providing weekly live performances in intimate, informal settings. More formal options are also available, such as Music Mondays at the Dwyer Cultural Center. The Apollo Theatre, where many famous artists play on their way up, is just over 7 blocks away, and a short bus ride on the B60 bus will deliver you to the nearby Columbia University's Miller Theatre. The Studio Museum on 125th Street provides art, as do many local art galleries. Enjoy a variety of dining options, 2 - 10 blocks from the townhouse, in small, welcoming surroundings. They range from soul food to international cuisines, from Ethiopian to French to Thai; many of these spots offer delivery options for your convenience.
Saint Nicholas Park (2 blocks away) has plenty of green space for relaxing, and Marcus Garvey Park or Morningside Park are an easy 12-block walk south. You can also bike in the famous Central Park North, only 3 subway stops away. City College is a little over 3 blocks west, and Columbia University is also within walking distance or a short bus ride/1 subway stop away.
The nearest subway stations are just 2-3 blocks from the townhouse. The 2 & 3 trains stop on West 135th Street at Lenox Avenue, the B/C local trains (as well as the A/D trains on the weekends) stop are West 135th Street at St. Nicholas Avenue. 6 bus lines, one of them express, stop 2-5 blocks from the townhouse. These multiple options make commuting around New York City east and fun!

Vacation rental in a great Harlem location, close to subway. Many stores and restaurants, and nice neighborhood atmosphere. Nice welcome from the hostess who also helped a lot make arrangements for our transfer from the airport. |

Review by: A Guest, Jan 04 2012 From: Germany, Accommodation Rental: 7 days |
The accommodation was very nice and had everything one might need for everyday life. The apartment location is good and the area is safe. The owner was very considerate and has adequately taken care of everything, she is sometimes even a little too caring :) |

He was in my South Bedroom (Bedroom 2) with two friends. They were all three excellent guests, and were ready to keep the place in order, including learning to place all bottles in recyclable bags :-) |

The Garden Bedroom was very confortable, and the bed and breakfast in general. It has two bathrooms, and this was usuful for us (we were 6 people). it has no kitchen but was not a problem because the only thing we used was the microwave and the coffee machine, and the owener put them in the entrace of the apartment on a shelves. |

The Italians guests were lovely, and although it is quite a bit of work to do Orientation to six people at a time. Similarly difficult it was to make sure that ALL of them - with varying command of English - do understand the tips or directions or suggestions I gave them. |
