beautiful house. Great hospitality.

Nothing I can think of.

beautiful historic property

I knew it was a historic building but was still surprised at the stairs :)

The location, the snacks,

slow communication with owner

The Mount Morris House team was extremely kind and attentive, not only on the daily services, but also on any special need we had. Cleanliness is outstanding. The solid, 135 years old construction is very well maintained, with renewed bathrooms and kitchen, and the antique furniture and decoration complete the unique experience of staying in an authentic, 18ht century, NY townhouse. There is plenty of urban transportation nearby, besides services and quality restaurants in the vicinity.

Peter was a great host! The check in process was easy and seamless. The homemade baked breakfast goodies were fresh and delicious as well as the generous snacks, coffee and tea that were provided throughout the day. The family suite was spacious, quiet, comfortable and clean. The common areas were also clean, well decorated with unique and interesting character that provided a comfortable and enjoyable ambiance. The building has amazing history. The location was convenient to local shopping, enjoyable bars and restaurants. The location also allowed for a convenient and a quick train ride to NYC.

The third floor with 4 flights of stairs were not ideal. It would have been convenient to have had outlets near the night stand to charge the cell phones or provide working bedside clocks would have been nice. The one side of the queen bed felt worn out was not comfortable for sleeping. The other side of the bed was certainly more comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay in Manhattan Guest suites. A real gem. Place was so spotless & all the extra touches were lovely & very much appreciated. Lovely homemade baking every morning too. Few mins walk from subway too

everything was amazing and made with so much love and care

I loved everything

This is a beautiful brown-stone house which is opposite a park, so we had a nice outlook from our suite. The atmosphere of the house is 'home-from-home' and it was a pleasure to come back to each evening. Our suite was very spacious and beautifully furnished. The extra touches in the kitchen were second-to-none and very much appreciated - fresh fruit, cookies, cakes, teas and coffee. We felt very at home and it was a wonderful base from which to visit New York - the M1 bus stop is a few steps from the front door! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and hope to come back.

Peter, the owner, is very discreet and only my mother met him on our last day. It would have been nice to meet him earlier in our stay - if only to show our appreciation and meet the man behind such a lovely place.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Peter's place in Harlem! The house is beautiful, full of character and charm with lots of interesting objects. The room we stayed in was huge and very comfortable, we had everything we needed. What really made this place special was Peter's hospitality, every morning we could have a coffee and some freshly baked biscuits and cakes, we loved the cinnamon rolls especially, not to mention the extra touches like fruit and crips, we felt really at home and loved coming back after a long day of walking.

Everything was perfect

The house is charming, beautifully well-kept. Very authentic and well decorated. The room was very big with a large bathroom with a shower and a bath. In the kitchen there is always home made cakes, biscuits, fruit, tea and coffee. The host takes care of the guests and is very generous. The house is well located, near the subway and in front of a park. Good transportation links. Would like to come back!

All was great. I liked everything.

We absolutely loved it! The place itself is very stylish (mainly wooden stuff in the house) and very well fits in the the overall vibe of Harlem. Our room was clean, beds comfortable and cookies provided by Peter exceptional :-) If I ever return to NY, I will stay here for sure.

Harlem itself can be a bit dirty sometimes (and you feel the weed everywhere) but nothing that would bother us much.

The house has a really cozy atmosphere, it really feels like you’re home in a way. The room and the whole house was always clean. We could use the kitchen and dining room for breakfast with fresh cookies and cakes made by Peter available to us daily. Peter is really caring, he was checking if we have everything we need and he made sure that everyone felt comfortable. I can understand why some people could perceive the neighborhood rough but to us it didn’t feel so at all, we also felt safe returning in the late evening. The homeless people around were very friendly actually. Highly recommended!

Even after having read all the great reviews before - the place went well beyond our expectations! A true gem, an oasis - especially for Manhattan. The place is spacious and peaceful, we could sleep with the (screened) window open and even hear crickets. The whole building, including the breakfast room, is tastefully decorated and peaceful. The wonderful host, Peter, provided coffee and delicious freshly baked goods in the kitchen every morning, which added to the overall feeling of being invited to someone's private home. We needed this in New York! The immediate neighbourhood of Harlem is still kind of rough in some places (as is New York in general), though (using our common sense) we always felt safe, and there is lots to discover and see in the area, with great places to eat or see a show just within a couple of blocks. Overall, we cannot recommend this place enough.

My daughter and I loved the spacious room and bathroom. The kitchen with baked goods, fruit and beverages were welcome in both the morning and as an evening snack. We especially appreciated the decor, definitely not cookie cutter but extremely comfortable.

There are no negative comments about our stay

The house was beautifully decorated and furnished. It was like stepping into an oasis of calm and good taste. The room was a great size and also gorgeous. There were lovely personal touches and also coffee and homemade cake for breakfast in a stunning dining room. I don't normally gush over reviews but this is such an individual place it deserves it.

We were 3 floors up so we had to climb lots of stairs but it's hardly a negative!

Like other people have said this is a magical find. Luxury historic accommodation in a beautiful brownstone house, on leafy streets just 5 mins walk from the 125 subway down into Manhattan. Northern Central Park is a walk as are the historic streets and avenues of Harlem. There are also myriad shops, bars, restaurants, including the world famous Sylvia’s soul food restaurant, within mins. Peter, the very gracious host, has renovated the house impeccably, bakes cakes and offers great free snacks and fruit plus coffee for all from the common kitchen downstairs, and encourages guests to join him in the dining room to chat. We had the beautifully appointed spacious fully self contained apartment on the top floor. Artfully decorated, fully equipped kitchen, luxury bathroom, very comfortable bed, air conditioning, tv, and daily maid service. Nothing to dislike. Everything to love.

We managed (and Peter would assist) but it’s worth mentioning there is no lift, so heavy cases took a little muscle power to get upstairs, and the top floor is 3 floors up. If you have trouble with stairs the top apartment may not be for you. Ditto the area. Harlem is a ‘real’ neighbourhood. We actually had no unsafe experiences, but it’s a very urban scene. Maybe not for the un street wise.

Unbelievably beautiful place. No detail was overlooked. Fresh goodies daily, room was made up on days I went out. Fresh goodies daily. The most peaceful restful stay of my life in a sometimes crazy city. If time and budget works for you stop reading these reviews and just book it Danno. Yes I'm a senior.

Well I never figured out the coffee machine, even with directions. But that's a senior for ya. Got the Wi-Fi fired up though.

Great location for accessing Manhattan (subway stop 3 blocks away) and when taking Harlem or Hudson line into the city. Stop at 125-Harlem only a few short blocks away. If up for a hike, about 70 minutes to Times Square. We stayed in the suite which had a small adjoining room with two twin beds. Room otherwise felt spacious. Single sink, good sized shower, good lighting, plenty of towels, small refrigerator. Lots of fresh baked goods in kitchen. comfortable mattress. Area was very quiet at night.

Only very light curtains on windows without shades so no way to block out morning light. Only foam pillows. Not great reading lights for reading in bed.

No breakfast but lovely cakes made by the owner

it was one of the most beautiful homes I have ever stayed in. The woodwork and decor are so tasteful and the location fantastic. The homemade cinnamon rolls in the morning and the treats in the afternoon are such a fantastic personal touch.

it was perfect.
