Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This is a cosy and well-appointed studio apartment situated in the historic neighbourhood of Harlem. Built in the 1800s, many of its original features have been preserved. And the host has pepped it up a bit with antique flea market finds, appropriately jiving with the Brownstone's vintage vibe. Your immediate neighbourhood is tree-lined and quiet and a bit of a way from the city's epicentre - but it's a true delight should you want a peaceful retreat in NYC.

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...
