This is a cosy and well-appointed apartment situated in the historic neighbourhood of Harlem. Originally built in the 1800s, many of its original features have been preserved including its wood floors, decorative fireplace, and vintage bathroom. And the host has pepped it up a bit with old baseball pendants and framed antique advertisements, appropriately jiving with the Brownstone's vintage vibe. Keep in mind this is a garden level apartment, so you won't have a ton of natural light - but you will have a private and shared terrace where you can soak up some sun.

Local guide
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...
