Well-designed and full of character, Good Day Sunshine shows the host’s affinity for travelling and Southwestern cultures We especially enjoyed all the greenery, the vinyl collection, and the many unique trinkets. But along with the good news comes some bad news. There are eighty-nine steps to ascend before arriving at the front door, but the steps in this Harlem brownstone are generously low, so it won't be too much of a workout. And when you reach the top, you can choose between the two terraces, both perfect for taking a little break from New York’s hustle and bustle.

About Harlem
Harlem has long been synonymous with black culture. In the early 20th century the neighbourhood was the setting for African-American-led movements in music, literature, dance and art - collectively known as the Harlem Renaissance - that featured innovators like Bessie Smith, Langston Hughes and Josephine Baker. That legacy is still evident today, especially along the area’s main thoroughfare, 125th Street, which is anchored by the Apollo Theater. Other highlights include...
