Harlem Hideaway Studio Apartment

Your own private Harlem hideaway. A quiet dreamy oasis for your busy New York stay. Enjoy life in an 1895 brownstone in one of the city's most charming historic neighborhoods. NOTE: This is just one of four unique units in the building. We also have Garden Apartment, Parlor Apartment and Guest Room.

The Harlem Hideaway Studio is a fully furnished studio apartment. It is on the 1st floor of a landmarked private brownstone townhouse in the coveted Mount Morris Historic District in Harlem.

The all-white interior with 12' ceilings and a view of a tree filled leafy garden will instantly put you in a peaceful mood.

Enter from the front stoop through the ornate carved wood entry arch and you will feel like you have just stepped back 100 years in time. All original oak details show the charm of gently worn history. Go straight ahead to your own apartment through the 10' entry door.

This Studio Apartment is very special from the time you open the door. The 12' ceilings create a special ambience and all-white room direct you to look out at the beauty of the peaceful private nicely landscaped leafy back garden to which you have full access. Since it is in the back of the building you hear no street noise.

The apartment is furnished with high end furniture, such as an original leather Corbusier sofa and raw steel full length mirror, a queen size bed (memory foam mattress) and bed stands. Also a 42'' smart flat screen mounted TV pivots out for viewing anywhere in the apartment. The bed area is carpeted for a more lush intimate feeling. The radio/iPod player holds an iPod filled with Harlem Hideaway playlist of jazz and blues. Books of New York and Harlem are provided, as well as current issues of Time Out Magazine to let you know what is currently happening in the city.

There is a large closet and plenty of extra overhead storage to hide that suitcase and other items.

The kitchen has recently been renovated and includes gas top burners, convection/microwave, toaster, coffee maker, stainless bottom freezer refrigerator and is stocked with coffee and tea. Pullout drawers for trash/recycling. The kitchen cabinets go all the way to the ceiling for any extra storage you may need. The refrigerator has a filtered water pitcher. Eat beneath the huge oversized pendant light next to the original massive black and white blow-up from a vintage science book.

Check out the quirky items in the metal glass display case and you may laugh. Linens, towels, iron/board are provided, as well as lending umbrellas.

A 3 speed overhead ceiling fan and quiet built-in air conditioner/heater will add to your comfort. So will the wall mounted adjustable bedside lamps.

There is a buzzer intercom for guests or deliveries.

The recently renovated all white subway tiled shower room with open shelving contains several outlets, as well as a shampoo, soap and hairdryer. It has a glass enclosed shower area and a huge mirror. The separate toilet room has its own charms.

Have laundry? We have a large washer and dryer right below in the basement area for all your laundry needs.

Want a larger room or additional space? The adjacent room in building is the Parlor Room (Home Away # 9825450). It sleeps two. We also have the Garden Apartment (#3634519) that sleeps two.
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Apollo Theater. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the apartment.

Comfortable apartment, great neighborhood, terrific owner
The studio apartment is very small but suitable to my needs. The bedsheets and towels are high quality and the bed is comfortable. Small sink in the kitchenette but doable if you're not doing much cooking. The one drawback is the very small shower. Dennis, the friendly and helpful owner, plans to add a smaller and more flexible showerhead, which will help somewhat. Other than that, it's a delightful apartment and I'd be happy to stay there again.

Harlem Hideaway
I ALWAYS stay at Harlem Hideaway when I visit NYC. Dennis is such a pleasant, professional, accommodating host. The property has easy access to subway to get anywhere in the 5 Burroughs quickly. There are tons of restaurants, wine stores, and delis close by. It's like being at home away from home and I'm from TEXAS!!!!

My Harlem Hideaway Exprience
An absolute treat to be able to visit NYC and stay in a beautiful brownstone. Very Clean with great amenities such as, towel service, fully stocked kitchen with a full size refrigerator, a very comfortable large bed, large tv, cable, music, and lots of closet space. There's great art work uniquely placed throughout the brownstone. Truly a home away from home and I had an awesome time relaxing here. I'll definitely be back. Thank you Harlem Hide Away!

Perfect apartment with great restaurants around
We really enjoyed our stay in Dennis' apartment which looks exactly as on the pictures. The street is nice and quiet, but everything you need is there: supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants and bars for everybody's taste! Around Halloween time when we were there, the houses were imaginagery decorated. After long trips through NY we really appreciated the great and comfortable mattress and clean bet linen. We will be back for sure! Thank you, Dennis for everything! S&A

Harlem Hideaway was definitely the perfect choice
I consider having been able to stay at a brownstone such as Dennis's a real privilege. The Studio is beautifully decorated, quiet, equiped with a bag full with useful information and within walkable distance of many of the places you are surely interested in visiting. Of course staying in Harlem implies having a whole different outloook of New York, and that was welcome to! To sum it all up, I sure hope I'll come back to Harlem Hideaway ...

My out of town guest cancelled so my fella and I decided to have a staycation in his place. The entire building is a Victorian treasure. Our studio apartment was spotless, quiet, lovely and completely comfortable. I hated having to leave.

The property was PERFECT! Ideal space for a couple if staying in is on the agenda.
The property was enough space for my wife & I. I'm glad that I lost a few pounds or using the bathroom and taking showers would have not been possible. Well, because I did lose some weight I was comfortable throughout the apartment. The apartment was nicely furnished and also had a Vizio tv for our viewing pleasure. The apartment was centrally located to bus lines, subway terminals, and shops close enough that walking didn't make us feel tired when we decided to walk. We will seriously consider renting out this space again on our next visit to NYC.

Hideaway Saves the day!!!!
First-timer/New York 'rookies' we had NO idea where to stay on our recent trip & thus, sold on pictures & price decided on Harlem Hideaway......we feel very lucky indeed! Location is so handy to subway, neighbourhood has the best people watching, so many great places to eat & drink super close. We loved getting in amongst it and found ourselves eager to get back to our little place at the end of huge days walking this colourful city. Dennis is the perfect host, great advice for our stay, he has literally thought of everything! Beautiful building & décor, quite haven after the endless midtown crowds. Hey you can even just sit out on 'the stoop' and watch the world go by - Just do it we say!!!! Thanks Dennis & Harlem Hideaway for a most memorable time - Lynda & Dave, New Zealand

True NY
We stayed in this unit for 7 nights and absolutely loved it. Harlem was a beautiful place to stay in, everyone was so friendly. The unit is close to the subway so easy to get anywhere and its so close to Central Park. Dennis was great to deal with, very responsive when contacted. He even printed some tickets to an Ice Hockey game for us 😊 Would highly recommend this accommodation and will be staying there when we come back to New York in the future.

A Cosy Hideaway in Harlem
When researching places to stay for our New York holiday in January, we wanted an apartment that was just like what you see in the movies and on television. Harlem Hideaway studio provided exactly this. We arrived and we were instantly amazed by the lovely street and steps leading up to the apartment building. Dennis was highly accommodating and well informed with plenty of suggestions for local cafes, restaurants and things to do. The apartment was clean with plenty of fresh linen, towels and amenities in which we used daily. The location in Harlem is great as you are walking distance to local supermarkets, cafes and parks. A favourite market we found is called 'Best Market Harlem.' It is also just a quick walk to the subway, where you can easily make your way to downtown Manhattan. Thank you to Dennis for being such a friendly and attentive host. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

So cute, perfect location.
Perfect little area, close to the subway but still away from the super touristy and busy area. Harlem has its own little personality that I loved! Dennis is an amazing host, the apartment was perfect for two, it had everything we needed. And if there was any questions he replied instantly. There's brochures to check out from other guests and is in perfect walking distance to grab a bite to eat and drink. Can't wait for our next NY trip cause this is definitely where we'll be staying!
