Guest Reviews

• Shantia (10/5): - I like that the host was very accommodating and the space was very clean. I thoughly enjoyed the claw foot tub. Our stay was close to the subway, so we were able to get around effectively. I will most definitely be back to stay Love the decor 😍 No complaints
• Alice (7/5): - Gorgeous place with a comfortable bed and state of the art bathroom. It makes you want to stay in to enjoy the great room! Close to the subway. There was just one tea bag and no breakfast. We had been told before for the breakfast so I was aware but I think that it could have made the stay even better.
• Sarah (8/5): Perfekt für einen kurzen NYC Aufenthalt. - Es war eine sehr schöne und liebevoll gestaltete Unterkunft, in authentischer Lage. Die Gastgeberin sehr freundlich und hat viele gute Tipps. Wenn man die falsche U-Bahn nimmt kommt man leider an vielen Junkies vorbei.
• Ryan (10/5): - In a good spot, and the room itself was really nice. Only had a brief interaction but the staff/owners were very friendly!
• Diana (9/5): Beautifully comfortable and welcoming guest house in Harlem. - The location is excellent, just a short walk from the subway on a quiet street. The house is beautifully kept and filled with fantastic artworks, and our room was lovely, really comfortable and spacious. Boothe was also a great hostess! We had absolutely no complaints!! The bed was on the extremely soft side, but that’s a matter of personal preference and not a criticism!
• Andrea (10/5): - If a dream of art and jazz had the chance to become a home, this would be the place. Our room was basically an apartment, spacious, luminous, designed like just a kind and rich heart such as Boothe’s could have. I could keep on trying to describe this place but I wouldn’t be enough. Just go. Subway is two blocks away. Historic Brownstone on a private street. The true New York experience doesn’t get better than this. Being in love and being hosted in such a beautiful space is beyond imagination. Don’t hesitate, this was a lifetime experience ❤️
• Jenna (8/5): - The room I stayed in had a very specific character, largely shaped by the ancestral works and tribal pieces throughout the space. It’s a room with a lot of personality that feels very lived-in. Check-in was easy and this is a nice block of Harlem. The bed is very comfortable and the room is very spacious, though there is a certain weight to the air here that some might notice more than others. The space feels very established and carries a quiet sense of presence that reflects the history of the building. Even when you book on booking.com the property will message you after and request payment via Zelle or cash. If you want to pay by credit card, the messaging says you will be charged an extra 4% fee. Also, the daily cleaning moved my suitcase and my clothes, which felt like a bit much for my personal preference.
• Anja (10/5): Ruhige, schöne Unterkunft abseits des Trubels - Den guten Bewertungen kann ich mich nur anschließen. Die Vermieterin ist ein sehr warmherziger Mensch. Wir sind super zufrieden und empfehlen die Unterkunft sehr gerne weiter! Es passt hier einfach alles… 💜
• Lucia (10/5): -
• Marika (10/5): -
• Tina (7/5): Eclectic stay in great part of NYC - Comfortable and great neighbourhood
• Peggy (10/5): C était parfait ! - Accueil parfait, emplacement parfait ! La maison et la chambre ont un charme très particulier, nous avons adoré !
• Paula (10/5): A wonderful surprise to stay in such a beautiful property for a very reasonable price. - A beautiful private house. We were astonished by the size and beauty of the room we had. Despite it being a private home, the host areas are separated so guest have lots of privacy. Access was easy and everything straightforward. The property was full of character. It was also very clean. Nothing. We were very happy with everything.
• Cyrill (9/5): One of the places I'd book again. - The style of the room is very cool. For people value the artsy style and special setup more than standardised perfection, this is the place to stay. Located in a (mostly) quiet side road in a old residential building that looks kinda familiar from movie scenes. Just a few minutes walk from the next subway station and Central Park. Takes just about 20 Minutes to get to Penn Station / Madison Square. The rooms are decorated with great care of details. Artworks and hidden features can be discovered anywhere in the room. Nothing.

• Calalang (8/5): -

• Balazsi (10/5): Overall outstanding! - Exceptional environment, impressive decorations, art everywhere. Excellent and comfortable. Helpful and kind host.
• Gabi (10/5): -
• Mikołaj (10/5): -
• Keli Cristina (10/5): Achei a experiência muito boa, uma surpresa boa. - Achei o lugar lindo, seguro e também bem localizado. A anfitriã muito querida e simpática. Achei o chuveiro um pouco baixo e não tem cortina então quando toma banho molha o chão do lado de fora, molhando o tapete e deixando cheiro no banheiro.
• rickbosnl (9/5): Een aanrader voor een goed budget verblijf. - Zeer vriendelijke verhuurder. Schoenen uit bij entree (heel goed). Goed internet. Dichtbij het Noordelijk deel van Central Park. Dichtbij een hele goede lunch room en restaurant. Een paar minuten lopen. Eigenlijk niks. Een prima lokatie.
• Adrian (9/5): -
• Tyra (10/5): A truly lovely stay from start to finish. - Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The room was beautifully decorated and impeccably maintained, and our host was so lovely and accommodating throughout our visit. The neighborhood felt charming, welcoming, and incredibly friendly. We will absolutely be staying here again! Nothing significant to note. We truly had a delightful experience overall.
• Nina-Beate Lykkelita (10/5): - Nydelig og fargerik leilighet, med alt man trenger. 😍 Anbefales virkelig! Karen og Boothe var herlige, og svarte raskt på henvendelser.
• Elisabeth Boles (10/5): -
• Santiago (10/5): -
• Loren (10/5): - Fantastic little home away from home. The room was filled with art and thoughtful amenities were provided. The hosts were sweet and communicative. Location was great! In front of a small park, 5 minutes away from public transportation. N/a
• Arnau (10/5): Would definitely come back, don’t miss out on this gem - The temperature was great, specially since we went during the coldest week of the year Everything was great :)
• Mohamed (10/5): Super moment - Tout était parfait ! Accueil impeccable et emplacement super !! Rien !
• Armando M Reyes (10/5): Una experiencia hermosa e inolvidable - It is a beautiful house with a unique visual concept that truly transports you. The location is wonderful, very close to the subway—so much so that we ended up becoming experts at using it. The surrounding area has full avenues, and the accommodation also provides hot beverage options, which are greatly appreciated when waking up during winter. The house rules are different, but clear and easy to accept. We are especially grateful to Boothe for his attention and hospitality. Very happy with the experience. Thank you! Todo bien!
• Peter (10/5): Super verblijf. - Inrichting van het huis en de kamer. Kleurrijk en artistiek. Mooie rustige straat vlakbij hoofdstraat met winkels, restaurants etc.
• Soraya (10/5): - La casa es preciosa y cómoda. El sistema de calefacción en invierno funcionó a la perfección. Y con el metro esta muy bien ubicado. Nada.
• Nina (10/5): Beautiful and comfortable room in great location for a great price!! - Cannot believe what an amazing room we got for such a great price!! The location was really great, not too far from anything and in a relatively quiet street. The shower was so cool. The hosts kept in good contact and we had no troubles whatsoever with our stay. Thanks!! :))))
• Gabriele Dodi (10/5): FANTASTICA - Accogliente, pulita, strategica!!!
• Rodrigo (10/5): -
• Marta (10/5): -
• fateme (10/5): very memorable I wanted to show everyone the house that I was staying at. it was an art piece - the cleanliness the artistic vibe the location
• Annoeska (9/5): Perfecte uitvalsbasis voor een paar dagen NY - Super vriendelijke eigenaresse en een prachtige ruime kamer. De badkamer was wat verouderd. Douche lukt maar je zou niet redelijk je haar kunnen wassen daarvoor komt er te weinig water uit de douche kop. Ook staan in een bad, een kleine wastafel waar je niets op kan zetten is wat uit de tijd .
• Lisa (10/5): -
• Irene (10/5): Wunderschönes und gemütliches Apartment mit sehr netter Besitzerin - Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und die Besitzerin ist unglaublich freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben so gut geschlafen, die Bettdecke war so kuschelig warm und wir hatten eine schöne, heiße Dusche nach einem anstrengenden Tag. Die Menschen in der Umgebung waren auch sehr freundlich und wir gingen zu Fuß zum Central Park, einfach traumhaft! Wir möchten unbedingt wieder kommen! Es gibt nichts Negatives zu sagen.
• BAHAR (9/5): -
• Benjamin (10/5): -
• Ján (10/5): Huge airy room for a great price - Huge room, lovely designed, good water pressure in shower, wonderful host.
• Myra (10/5): -
• Asif (9/5): - It’s very cute kinda different Hahah that I needed to get to my room at floor 3 by stairs
• Silke (9/5): A very nice stay in NY. - Boothe is a friendly host. Room is very spacious in a very clean house. The street is quiet. The shower could be better.
• Denny (10/5): -
• Susan (10/5): A brilliant guest-house with exceptional character and in a great neighbourhood. - Soul Food Mont Morris is truly exceptional. I loved the atmosphere and decor of the house, the tree-lined and quiet street, and the spaciousness of my room, which was practically an apartment. Gorgeous bathroom with excellent shower. I was very comfortable and enjoyed every moment of my stay. Thank you, Boothe! Nothing to improve! It's perfect.
• Chiara (9/5): - Posto incantevole, mi è piaciuto molto. Tornerei volentieri e lo consiglierei. Ottima posizione, vicinato tranquillo, metropolitana a pochi passi. La casa è molto bella e tranquilla e gli altri ospiti sono stati molto silenziosi. Nulla, direi che mi è piaciuto tutto.
• Ander (10/5): -
• Bettina (10/5): Super Lage in der Nähe der Subway und außergewöhnliches Konzept der Unterkunft. Sehr zu empfehlen! -
• Estelle (10/5): Idéalement situer pour visiter, et rentrer au calme - Situation géographique, le calme, simplicité et tout le nécessaire parfait pour une semaine Ras sauf peut etre sèche cheveux à changer
• Pia (9/5): -
• Peli (10/5): Wonderful stay in Harlem - Super accessible and well located in Harlem, super close to the subway. Lots of nice places around! Loved the room - super spacious and clean, loved the bed super large and comfy and the check in was super easy (we arrived very late). Thank you so so much!
• Harald (10/5): spacy, artsy, comfortable! Great value! - spacy, artsy, comfortable!
• Samuel (10/5): Excellent experience with great hosts who were available when needed, but never intrusive! - Large room, comfortable king bed, traditional furniture, nice artwork, quiet block nestled between Marcus Garvey/Mount Morris Park and Malcolm X/Lenox Ave where there several nice eateries, short walk to the subway, and parking wasn’t too hard to find this weekend. Took a couple minutes of running the water in the sink, but it did get hot in time for my purposes.
• Anna (10/5): Очень классные дизайнерские интерьеры в бохо-стиле, чувствуешь себя не туристом, а гостем, которого очень ждали - Очень понравилось, что хозяин апартаментов Лукас сам предложил скидку от цены букинга и взял с нас на 30$ меньше, объяснив это тем, что средняя цена обычно меньше, это было неожиданно и приятно. -
• Ismael (10/5): - La decoración de la habitación y zonas comunes es increíble. El tamaño es bastante grande y la cama era super cómoda
• Claire (9/5): -
• Charalampos Sevvas (10/5): Amazing Place - Great place, great host. Great location. One of the best bathrooms i have ever seen! Harlem has the best buildings/architecture in NY. We will visit the place again on our next trip.
• Francesca (8/5): - La struttura è una tipica pensione americana, molto pulita. La posizione non è proprio delle migliori, ma a pochi passi c’è la metro e nei dintorni supermarket e caffe. Tutto pulito, in particolare per l’accortezza di togliere le scarpe appena entrati per accedere alle stanze. Nulla, semplicemente un po’ costoso rispetto alla zona
• Mariska (9/5): Aanrader in Harlem - Prettige, ruime en schone kamer met goede voorzieningen. Heel fijn verblijf met fijne gastvrouw. Niets. Voor ons was alles goed. Voor mensen die slecht ter been zijn , zijn de twee trappen die we op moesten voor onze kamer wellicht een uitdaging om te nemen.
• Ville (9/5): -
• Robert Gerhard (9/5): Unterkunft perfekt, bei Bezahlung aufpassen - Gute Lage in Harlem. Sehr gute Anbindung an die U Bahn. Sehr (!) ruhig. Gute Ausstattung. Schönes Altbauensemble. Fernseher war defekt. Vermieter wollte, dass wir in bar bezahlen - bei Zahlung mit Kreditkarte wollte er etwa 25 Dollar Aufschlag. Ich habe mit Kreditkarte OHNE den Aufschlag bezahlt - denn der Endbetrag war bei Buchung durch Booking angezeigt. Mein Rat an alle: aufpassen, dass man vom Vermieter nicht abgezockt wird! Ist auch merkwürdig, wenn man aufgefordert wird, in Bargeld zu zahlen….
• TeaPack (10/5): Mesmerising stay in south Harlem - We loved the atmosphere of the place already from the entryway, which was decorated with huge Caladium plants. As soon as we stepped inside the house we were welcomed by a vibrant hallway with character. The stairs, floors, chandeliers, everything was screaming "THE New York experience" After making our way up the stairs we entered our room that felt like something out of a movie. We feel like whenever we try to describe the room, it never does it justice, but let us tell you this: We loved exploring the house as much as exploring NY. The whole guesthouse is filled with the host's art, which is a personal touch we adored. Since we were so in awe of the place, we've decided to meet our host. She was as welcoming as the house and has given us tips on where to go, what to see and how to enjoy NY as if we were locals. The place is in 5 min walking distance to metro station, Central Park and whole array of restaurants. Getting home late at night was also not an issue. We'd recommend this guesthouse to anyone who prefers an experience full of character over sterile hotel rooms.
• Monica (10/5): Cultural, Inviting, Easy and Exceptional - Where do I start?! The room was Beautifully decorated, very artsy and much attention to detail. We appreciated all the toiletries and when we notified our host of anything we needed they responded QUICKLY and very kindly. The location was perfect to navigate the subway, grocery stores, restaurants and we felt very safe in the neighborhood. I don’t know what could’ve made our trip better. Thank you!! Nothing
• Carlos (10/5): -
• Emilie (10/5): Très agréable et conforable, immersion totale dans une demeure magnifique typique d'Harlem. - Magnifique demeure d'artiste dans un quartier typique d'Harlem. Interieur décoré avec goût, la chambre était confortable et spacieuse ainsi que la salle de bain. Ménage et propreté impeccable. Accueil et communication facile. Métro et toutes le commodités à proximité. Très agréable et confortable, immersion totale. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir. Rien
• OLGA (10/5): - Per la nostra terza volta a New York abbiamo optato per il quartiere di Harlem, tanto lo spostamento in metro é super. Non volevamo le solite stanze sterili di hotel quindi abbiamo scelto questa casa storica ed é pazzesca. Boothe é sorridente e paziente anche con noi che capiamo poso l'inglese. La stanza è arredata in ogni dettaglio, ha avuto la gentilezza anche di lasciare due ombrelli che abbiamo utilizzato. Insomma, ci tornerei Nulla
• Arthur (10/5): - The host, the room, the service - everything was great! Boothe keeps this place nice and tidy. Highly recommend 👍
• Ekaterina (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful guesthouse with fantastic interior, located in a cozy and quiet street, still with easy access to the trains. Our room was beautiful, super clean, with a spacious bathroom. Hosts are friendly and helpful. Truly a unique place, we enjoyed our stay a lot. And hot chocolate in the room was amazing
• Rasa (10/5): - Sehr zentral, gute Verbindung, ein wunderschönes Zimmer, Kaffee, Tee, Wasser, Microwelle, sehr ruhig
• J (10/5): It was fantastic, would stay here again! - The room was very well decorated and clean, there was a nespresso machine and a brita in the fridge. There was also a paper on the door with a map and recommended some places to go, which was very sweet The water pressure in the shower wasn’t great
• Marieke (8/5): We loved the charm and the character of the house, which is less anonymous than most hotels. - An interesting room that offers more than the standard hotel. The neighborhood was pleasant and authentic. We loved getting back to it after a day in Manhattan. People were all friendly here. The bed was too soft for me. The airconditioning too loud for the night, but more than welcome. Apart from the glasses, cups and knives, 2 plates would have been convenient.
• Donovan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alexandre (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andreagatto (10/5): Great deal, amazing house - The guest house is cozy, comfy and stylish. In the house you can notice much culture and is beautifully decorated. It is located in a nice part of Harlem where it's easy to walk around and enjoy local amenities. Central Park is also near. The host is polite and responsive. Truly worth the price. I appreciated the cold water, tea, coffee and chocolate selection. Really tiny things like WhatsApp response, checkin and other minor things may make the stay even better.
• Finn (10/5): Spacious clean room - Spacious and clean. Helpful host. A bit off central stuff in NYC, however it was easy for go downtown with metro Express line 2 and 3.
• Fábio (10/5): Exceptional - The pretiest place we've been in New York. We were received by Karen who was super friendly and gave us tips for our trip. The internet was good and everything was really clean and well maintained. There are some areas in harlen that don't look so safe, but from the metro to the property is a 5 minutes walk through a main avenue and then the nice neighborhood - we didn't have any problems.
• Enrico (10/5): We had a wonderful stay at Boothe’s guesthouse. Plenty of space, and everything you may need in a leisure stay in NY. Bo -
• Macey (8/5): Harlem Hideaway - This place has a lot of charisma and is packed full of art and creative expression. The owner calls it West African maximalism, sort of Harlem Baroque - bold, dark colors, historic ornate brownstone features, paired with bold art, antiques, and artifacts, and about a zillion happy plants. Our room was huge and included a king bed, velvet sofa, a fireplace, a big turquoise table, and bay windows. It's close to restaurants and the subway, and it was easy to get around. The bathroom was a bit dark and smaller than we prefer, but it did the job.
• Claude (8/5): Very good experience. Will book again. - clean, warm & quiet; great location. Friendly hostess. hole in tub porcelain
• Sian (10/5): Quiet, comfortable, characterful, fun place to stay in fine street - Fantastic house with wooden interior, art and plants adding character to every corner. Genial host. A place of real character. Liked it altogether - a waste bin in the bedroom (for used teabags, etc.) might have been helpful - but all was good
• Safae (9/5): Superb - Beautiful room and great hostess. The room and the bathroom were spotless which I greatly appreciate. The hostess was accommodating and very polite. Would definitely recommend!
• Matthew (10/5): Beautiful and quirky house in the historic center of Harlem - This is a great boutique guest house in a beautiful and historic neighborhood in Harlem that is full of culture, art and restaurants. Getting around the city from here is easy due to quick access to express 2+3 trains. The host is interesting, generous and kind. The room was huge, had everything necessary (and more), and was beautifully decorated. The property is truly unique and a labor of love - this is exactly the type of small business I want to support when traveling. The shower had low water pressure, which is the only critique I can think of!
• Roxana (10/5): Exceptional - The coziness, beautiful area, attention, and great value. Nothing, it was a perfect stay.
• Francesco (10/5): Exceptional - great experience
• Ilan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Victoria (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place and very friendly stuff. We really liked our stay! Recommend 100%.
• Sophie (10/5): No reason not to book - phenomenal - The room was so incredibly spacious and super quirky & colourful without threatening comfort. Every single thing Soul Food could of thought of they did, robes, tea, kettle, microwave, fridge, body wash, towels for body and hair, coffee, lighting, power points. It was so impressive! It made a very stressful trip calm when I needed. Local Eatery options are iconic and flavourful. I felt completely safe in the area, with a lovely community feel rich in history and splendour. Definitely go to Grandma's Place (book shop) a few buildings down, the owners are marvellous humans. I liked everything.
• Rachel (10/5): Perfect place to base yourself on a trip to NYC - Loved everything about this beautiful guesthouse - absolutely stunning design and decor, nice and warm the whole time despite the minus figure temps outside, all the small touches were really appreciated too. Location is fantastic and I would recommend staying in Harlem to anybody considering it, it was very easy to get downtown but equally lots of great things nearby like Marcus Garvey Park, great soul food and a range of top quality coffee places. The owner was very welcoming and kind, thank you for a lovely stay 🙂 Nothing - it was perfect.
• Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible accommodation, well-sized rooms, bathroom was spacious and clean. Hosts were a real treat and we feel in love with the interior design. a 10/10 experience!
• Ruby (10/5): Lovely stay - We had a lovely stay at Soul Food. Our room was very spacious, warm, comfortable and clean. We loved the beautiful art and enjoyed the super comfy big bed after spending our days walking around NYC! The property was really conveniently located and had lots of lovely eateries close by.
• Michelle (10/5): this was the perfect place to be in a very clean environment. Feel a good welcome spirit from the time you arrive. Every - boothe the owner is kind and so professional. very aware and focused. exceptionally accommodating nothing
• Faycal (10/5): Exceptional -
• Zwart (9/5): Superb -
• Mick (10/5): We had a great first trip to NY and the location and room were the cherry on the top very happy - Loved the historic district and the house was lovely it appealed because the decor is very kooky which we liked. We were sad to leave and would definitely go back again Nothing suited us perfectly The only sad thing was we didn't meet the owner but did speak on the phone.
• Wilson (10/5): Exceptional -
