Quite a find! Descending the few steps into this brown brick’s basement floor, flanked by its historic neighbors, and immersed in its owner’s curated collection of Afrocentric books, the guest will immediately begin to hum with the echo of Harlem’s spirit. The charm and culture of its ambiance are surpassed only by its host, Kurt, a treasure trove of history and insight into the city’s offerings, and who succeeds in seamlessly balancing personable and warm hospitality with that discrete attentiveness which leaves a guest feel equally at home to stay in all day for R&R or to spend every waking hour in wanderlust around the city. Truly, the accommodations are so inviting and comfortable, we were tempted to stay in all day listening to records, perusing the book collection, and steeping in the backyard garden (one day in fact was spent that way, and without any regret). Its location is in that Goldie Locks zone of far enough from downtown for quiet but close enough to provide easy access to the sights. I highly recommend it.
