Harlem 144 Guest House

This place is awesome. I don't give five star reviews but the place and valerie were outstanding. The rooms were so charming and really had a vintage feel. I felt excited to leave and come back. It really felt like a home that I didnt have to clean or decorate. It was extremely clean and the bathroom was goregous. We stayed for four days three nights. Valerie was especially helpful. She went above and beyond to accomodate all of us. I had a party at the house and she was generous in helping us set up and supplying things that we needed. Valerie is an excellent host. She welcoming and warm. I slept very well on the bed. I already booked another date and I know it will be great.

Valerie is a rude woman. She screamed at my husband for some water on the bathroom floor right after we had used it. As guests looking to just have a peaceful holiday, even her old housekeeper was a brash woman who tried to unnecessarily advice me on how to take better care of my husband when we were packing up to check out! 😂 He and I were shocked lol. When did vacation rentals become this poor experience. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND.

First at all this Harlem Guesthouse is very well located, near the metro that takes you to manhattan center in 5 minutes. The Guesthouse is really nice, a kind of old style wood decoration and the room I was, the cheaper one, was really clean, luminous and with AC and excellent WiFi. Harlem is a great neighborhood to stay, authentic, safe and with lots of street live and jazz concerts. The guys of the Guesthouse took me to an incredible jazz bar one of the nights.....great people both Valerie and her husband! I honestly recommend this place.

Will not stay there again. I went there on a New York trip using an Air BNB. The lady was barely contacting us. The apartment was falling apart. The door handles kept coming off, the bed was broken and there was not enough room for 5 people. We could barely get in and out of the apartment safely. I would not choose this place again. It wasn't my choice to begin with. Everything was crammed into a small apartment so it seemed like it could fit everyone comfortably. It was a joke and not worth the money

We were having a hard time finding anything cheap in NY. There were 5 of us traveling to NY for 4 days and we were looking for something cheaper than renting a couple of rooms at a decent hotel when we bumped into Harlem 144. 5-minute walk from the metro station (Uptown 116 St., lines 2 or 3). Beautiful, quiet street, safe neighborhood. Valerie was patiently waiting for us since we had gotten stuck in traffic coming from Washington DC. We had our own private entrance to our little apartment... Basement apartment, very clean, sleeps 5 comfortably. All necessary equipment in kitchen, bathroom, etc. We even had a yard that we could access! Can't beat this bargain. Highly recommend it!
