Dennis’s Harlem Hideaway is the perfect place to stay if you like a bit of homeliness and immersion in a local neighbourhood within NYC.
Myself and my partner stayed here for40 nights as she was studying at Columbia University which was just a short stroll away.
We found it the perfect ‘home’ for us while we were in NYC , so much so we found it hard to leave. It was a base to be able to sightsee, work and go about normal daily routines required in a longer stay. Whilst we were close to public transport, we most enjoyed being able to walk around especially Central Park (which we could run most days being so close). You got a real neighbourhood feel which was what we wanted.
The apartment is small and cosy with high ceilings so you don’t feel claustrophobic like most NY apartments. The amenities are very nice, great and comfy bed, tv, wifi, small kitchen etc. all the mod cons of home. We also had access to the washer and dryer downstairs which made a massive difference when being away for so long.
Dennis was a great host and had a range of thoughtful items in the apartment including music, books, decor, and a guidebook from previous guests which gave you great tips and ideas to make the most of your stay. Dennis always kept us up to date with things going on in the building and neighbourhood, so we felt apart of the place.
Superb value for money in a major city - gets 5/5 from us. We will def stay again! Would highly recommend to any couple/single person having a longer stay in NYC .
Thanks,
James and Siobhan
