After reading various reviews We decided on going to The Harlem Grand for my first time visit to New York.||If you are into something different to the straight sanitary lines of a Modern Hotel then this could be the place for you.||My first, and lets be honest, a very important point is the sleep quality.||This was the most comfortable sleep that I have had ever (away from my own bed)||The bed in room 10 was high, firm and OOOOHHHH so comfortable.||5 nights of sleeping bliss. It was amazing for myself and my partner.||I could just go on about this subject but I am sure you would like to hear about more than the bed.||Situated a short stroll from 125th street metro (which will get you anywhere) it is a lovely brown stone building with a very interesting history and is kept and owned by Kellyn. She is a lovely warm natured woman with a heart of gold. We did have a little trouble getting on the internet to start with but that was speedily sorted out by her.||I found Kellyn approachable and warm. Also learning the history of the building was so interesting. I could have talked with her for hours.||Ok||The rest of the building.||As you walk in there is a sitting room with so many delightful things to look at. It is a house with an enormous character and we loved it.||Our room (10) was gorgeous and filled with stylish things that just turn your eyes. The bed was huge and it was gorgeous.||The Warmth you feel inside is like being welcomed into somebody's home.||Clean,,,,,,,,,,Absolutely ||we didn't need the heating as we were lucky to have picked a warm week to go.||didn't need the airco as the cieling fan was silent and more than enough||Bath/shower was great and powerful enough, with plenty of hot water.||shabby chic comes to mind and we love that.||||Remember. Most people go to a hotel or B&B to sleep.||That is something that you can do so well here||We have no hesitation in recommending the Harlem Grand to anybody and would we return||||OMG! YES!!||||Thank you Kellyn for our wonderful...

(GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE...THIS REVIEW WILL TAKE A MINUTE)
I had the pleasure of staying at this stunning brownstone (9/22/24-9/27/24) in the heart of Historic Harlem, and it was everything I could have hoped for and more! Arriving totally stressed about the task ahead of me, Kellyn, the owner, was incredibly gracious, making me feel welcome and was very responsive to any questions that I had.
From the moment I stepped inside, I was blown away by the elegant charm of the space. The brownstone itself is a perfect blend of classic architecture and modern comforts, with high ceilings, gorgeous woodwork, and stylish decor that made my stay truly special.
The room was immaculate, spacious, and cozy, and had a peaceful vibe. Kellyn's attention to every single detail from the bedding, lighting, and fixtures, room layout to the shower curtains, was impeccable!!
The location is unbeatable—on a quiet, tree-lined street just a short walk to the culture, restaurants, public transportation and arts and culture Harlem is known for.
This BnB is truly a gem! If you're looking for a unique and authentic experience in one of NYC’s most historic and culturally rich neighborhoods, this is the place to stay. I can't wait to return!
I left NYC feeling restored, uplifted, and cared for.
I would be remiss if I did not mention, Mariela, the housekeeper and to thank her for all the hard work and care she put into making my stay so wonderful. The room was always clean, and I could tell that she took great pride in what she did and made all the difference in creating such a warm and welcoming environment.
Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and it truly added to my incredible experience there.
THANK YOU, KELLYN & MARIELA. Wishing you all the best, and I hope to return...
