Laura (the host) and her husband were helpful in getting us acclimated w/ the space and up and running w/ how to use the service aligned w/ her TV (Direct TV). When we walked in the door the place looks EXACTLY like the pictures. The decor was beautiful and true to description of the "gallery" and character of the host. The space was just enough for us to feel at home and cool during what seemed the hottest weekend in New York! The beds were comfortable and the area was safe.

The location was perfect because we flew into La Guardia and there's a Special Bus 60 that takes you directly into Harlem. My daughter had been at a dance intensive w/the legendary Dance Theater of Harlem and the housing for the students was near by the home. The Gadson Gallery Guest house is in close proximity of the bus stop and the housing which made it truly convenient to get anywhere in the city. Laura was very knowledgeable and willing to provide many suggestions of places to eat, shops to patron, and best modes of transport to get around.

My family swears by this place and say if we visit again this is the place they'd most like to stay in Harlem.

***Also to mention Laura has a small space adjacent for her guests (and at other times when guests are not staying) to view her and her partners art work. It's absolutely beautiful and I left w/ many items in support.

I encourage people who are unfamiliar w/ NY and/or the history of Harlem to stay at the Gadson Gallery Guest House for the inexpensive location that allows you to experience it all.
