255 West Guesthouse

We loved staying at 255 West Guesthouse. Firstly, James was so wonderfully friendly and helpful - always available if we needed something, but gave us space too. ||The house is stunning - a beautiful old Brownstone. We had the front room at the top which was great to hear and watch the street. We loved lying in bed listening to the Sunday afternoon Jazz in the Legion basement opposite.||||We made use of the free french press coffee downstairs each day. The building is perfectly located between subways and bus stops so it's easy to get around and get in and out of downtown. Great restaurants too within walking distance. We loved Renaissance and the Manhattanville Coffee shop on W 42nd. ||||The room was beautifully decorated; the bathroom with double shower heads and lots of space. We would

This place is the next best thing to home. When I arrived, I received a warm greeting from the owner, James. After a brief conversation, he gave me my keys and assisted with my luggage to the top floor to my room. He was kind enough to have statrted the AC. The room was pleasantly cool and I loved the set up. The room was perfect! A very nice, comfortable bed with a sitting area, large screen television and bathroom with shower. All done with impeccable taste. There is a kitchen just steps away from my room with full size refrigerator, stove and microwave. On the first floor, there is a sitting area, dining table, compact refriferator and microwave. Free coffee and tea. The location was perfect. Short walk to the Subway, restuarants and many sights. One of my favorites was a brief walk t

What an awesome place! I was greeted by James, the owner, upon my arrival. We talked in the reception room for a short while. He then assisted me with my bags to my room on the top floor. I loved my room, named after Guillaume complete with a picture of him. This was just like being at home. The room was lacking nothing. The bed was very comfortable with television and sitting area. The bathroom and shower were excellent with the very modern look. A ceiling fan and window AC kept the room at a very comfortable temperature. I am looking forward to my next visit. The location is ideal as there are numerous places to eat, subway and bus are nearby, and historical sites too.

Really great converted Brownstone in a really vibrant part of Harlem. The owners are friendly and really helpful but also give you privacy unless you need them. The rooms vary, as it is converted Brownstone, but are comfortable with private bathooms. They are not overly fancy but tastefully done and comfortable There is a large very well equipped kitchen and a grocery store nearby so it is an excellent place to stay if you want to save money by cooking yourself. It is a short and safe walk to the subway and the Apollo theater.

Safe, good location, beautiful. We loved the beautifully appointed brownstone. It was absolutely perfect from the ground floor parlor up to our 3rd floor room, which was clean, cozy, and comfortable. Very elegant. Comfortable bed, great bathroom and shower. James was wonderful about accommodating our late arrival time. It was great!
