***PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY to discuss flexibility with booking options if you are not able to select the days you would like to stay. Your own private Harlem hideaway. A quiet dreamy oasis for your busy New York trip. Enjoy life in an 1895 brownstone in one of the city's most charming historic neighborhoods. NOTE: This is just one of three unique units in the building. We also have Studio and Parlor. The Garden Apartment was expertly renovated by an award winning designer and features a large bedroom and an exceptional vintage bathroom, wood floors, decorative fireplace in the living room, dimmable lighting fixtures, two ceiling fans and original wood details. It has a color video intercom to the front door of the building. The windows north and south provide refreshing cross-ventilation. There are 2 wall mounted air conditioner/heaters in the apartment (bedroom and living room). The apartment is heated by original radiators in the winter. Free WiFi. The apartment is quite private with a separate outside entrance with its own outside light. There are no other apartments on this floor. There is an interior hall rack for bags and coats. Lending umbrellas are at the entry for when it rains. The living room's two windows face south to a small landscaped courtyard and a tree shaded sidewalk. Original internal adjustable wood shutters provide privacy. The living room is furnished with an extremely comfortable queen size memory foam sofa bed, a side table, a roll-away coffee table, a 46' wall-mount LED flat screen TV with hundreds of cable options, a dining table and 4 chairs. It has a radio/ iPod loaded with a Harlem Hideaway jazz/blues playlist. The bookcase contains a library of interesting and unique books. The original 120 year old cabinet separates the kitchen from the dining/living room area. There is plenty of room in the drawers to use it as a dresser if the living room is used as an additional sleeping area. There is a 3 speed fan in with a dimmer light in the living room area and a dining table with 4 chairs and an adjustable dimmer light above the dining room table. Information boxes full of maps, menus and manuals are located on the shelf. Opening onto the living room you will find the open kitchen equipped with a deep sink with rinsing spout, a garbage disposal, a modern 4 burner gas stove with oven, a double door refrigerator with bottom freezer and ice maker, a built-in microwave/fan, toaster, blender, knife set, dishwasher (with detergent) and all necessary cookware and utensils as well as a coffee maker, coffee and tea.

It also has an exhaust fan. The wainscoting is clear glass subway tiles. The floor is all original 120 year old original tiles. There is even a dimmer for the retro light fixture.
