It's marketed as a bed and breakfast and the only food provided were milk, bread, and limited snacks. It was more a kitchen provided for you to use if we bought food.

The hot tub in the room was amazing! And the staff was welcoming and had great suggestions for food

We visited during change of season from winter to spring. If you’ve ever lived in NYC then you’re aware of the power of the RADIATORS. It was a very warm nights rest.

Love the location as we don’t like to be compelled to midtown and have family in Harlem. Love the architecture of the building and the design. So beautiful.

When I woke up in the morning, the room was very hot! That was the only time we felt uncomfortable. Staff did address this when I spoke with them.

The decor was nice as well as the layout of the place. The room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable!

There were a lot of ants in the bathroom due to moisture

I loved the shower & hot tub

The only problem was that we had to wait for the water to get hot enough to be able to relax in the jacuzzi, but we understood there was a full house. After we waited, it was worth it.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, the entire space (kitchen,lobby) looked really nice! Great location! Will definitely visit again.

There was a few (what appeared to be) a few maintenance items I noticed but did not detract from the stay.

I thought is was a charming home. I felt very welcome and fortunate to find such a place. Ron was very helpful and kind.

There are very narrow steep and tall flights of stairs to the rooms.

The home is beautiful and the morning coffee is delicious, I loved my room. The hosts were kind and helpful.

Since this is a house, not a hotel, there was no elevator and we had some big bags. But we were helped to deal with them, and that was really my only (minor) complaint.

Very friendly staff. It was nice to have a common dining and living room to relax in outside of our room. The location was perfect for our purposes - near our son, near shopping areas, with lots of delis, food markets, restaurants and laundry shops nearby. Near subway stations too.

Minor aspect: I would like to be able to have more control over the heating temperature.

I loved the service. The manager was great and kind, which is a crucial aspect for me. In addition to this, the property was in excellent condition and it had a vintage style that we all loved. I would definitely return in the future.

Nothing negative, so just a little comment because I have nothing else to say: for tea drinkers the kitchen lacked tea bags/infuser

Very warm welcome by the houseman (whatsapp messages before and during the stay, great introduction tour to the facilities), great facilities, gorgeous comfortable themed room (ours was KIMONO, with a tatami floor), free bottles of water, well you have everything you need to feel good just like at home

Very nice team, especially Ron and Aubry. You have a shared big kitchen and coffee machine so you can enjoy your beakfast and prepare your own meals.

Poor little cold

Clean quiet and nice

Blankets were nailed over my windows so I couldn’t get natural light, guests weren’t allowed to use the sauna and the location was terrible in central Harlem, I felt incredible unsafe at night and wasn’t aware of Harlem.

Beautiful mansion and I liked being able to share a kitchen.

It was way too hot in the common areas. Cleanliness could have been better; the bathroom could've been cleaner. We stayed 2 nights, and no one cleaned the room during the stay :( But overall, I would recommend it.

Value for money is very good. The staff (or maybe he was the host) was very friendly and welcoming. The room is a standard size for Manhattan, but the bed was very comfortable. The location is great; a good spot in Harlem: near to the subway stations, police station, and a lot of restaurants and coffee shops.

Nothing to dislike, even tho is in Harlem there’s a bus stop and a metro station really close to it

The place is beautiful, and it’s perfect for people that are looking for a less touristy stay

So this was a one off event but it was super weird and way uncomfortable. A friend of mine is a bartender up in Harlem and when he got off work he and I were going to meet up. This was around 4am. Waiting for my Uber this old man came out of the office and scared me to death. He was shouting at me telling me to get out of the property like he was kicking me out?? I told him I was a guest there and showed my booking confirmation and he was like yeah I know but get out why are you up so late. I kind of just ignored him and got in my cab and didn't hear anything about it again. But what was that and why??? Did not appreciate that moment but it was the only hiccup in an otherwise wonderful stay

The place was amazing. My room was huge and so comfortable. And it came with a built in dry sauna?? Haha. There isn't a room like it at this price in NYC. And you're around so much food. The neighborhood is 👍

It was the weekend of the New York Marathon so we had very limited options for the night. We didn't really need the most expensive room in the Mansion! The Mansion is historically a very interesting building and location but restoration work is minimal with some rather odd choices made in interior fixtures and decorations for the rooms.

We liked the location, the staff were very helpful and accommodating, the suite was quite large with updated bathroom w/good water pressure and lots of hot water. The Mansion was quiet. Also enjoyed was the main floor lounge area and open kitchen for coffee/tea and warming up of leftovers. No breakfast is served but many excellent breakfast spots are close.

A problem for me is little far away from my destination and the restaurant around the living location is not good for me.

The staff is very kind and helpful and the room is very clean and comfortable. It is easy to find the location for foreigner traveler

I will say that there were quite a few issues with different amenities that were slightly off-putting, but didn’t affect my stay a ton. If you’re planning on getting groceries and cooking in that kitchen during your stay, be sure to let the host know ahead of time because the oven is packed full of pots and pans. Plan to reheat any leftovers on the stove top because the convection oven is not intuitive and there is not a microwave. Some light switches do not work, or if they do— you’re turning the lights on and off in some other room lol. The ones you need work just fine. If you brush your teeth at the bathroom sink the water drains incredibly slowly. Something with the sink’s design really.

Great location, very cool home, I love the history and eclectic detail of such an old place. I’ve stayed in the city on several other occasions and this place definitely ranks high on my list. I read a ton of the reviews before I booked my stay— and I’ll say for a 100+ year old home, the updates are lovely. It seems a little like the people with complaints are expecting the plaza hotel, even though a stay there would cost easily 5 times as much. I’d much rather stay somewhere charming and a little quieter like this place in Harlem and it feels more local than a cookie cutter hotel. It’s incredibly close to several bars, the subway, a local market, a Whole Foods, the police station, all within close walking distance. I felt safe walking the neighborhood as a female alone during the day, and at night before midnight. The bed was very comfortable and the room quiet at any hour. The spa tub was incredible to come back to after a day full of walking and the bathroom floors are heated! My room was the Garden Suite on the basement level so it had access to an outdoor patio as well. Aubrey the caretaker was kind and friendly, he carried my heavy bag downstairs when I arrived and always had tips and advice for exploring the area. I had several great conversations with him in the kitchen I over the course of my weeklong stay. Make sure you listen to Aubrey’s instructions for using the spa tub and you’ll have no issues. I’d stay here again for sure.
