A great place to stay if you need something within walking distance of New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia Medical School. Has very large living room/kitchenette/dining area and two bedrooms. Nicely furnished in African motif and kitchen stocked with all essentials. Grocery store adjacent. Very quiet historic street. Never felt unsafe at all here. Easy access to subway. Owner extremely accommodating, pleasant... More

We need to be in NYC for a weekend for a friend's wedding. I haven't been to NY before, so i took the opportunity to extend my stay for a 4 days long weekend. Since i was travelling with 3 other people, we were all on a tight budget but also needed somewhere safe, clean and convenient. Despite my other... More

The main issue we have with this place is that it's not a motel / hotel set up - it's run by private owners and basically there are only 3 rooms spread throughout the terrace (not the entire terrace like what we thought was the case). Problem with that is there's no internet or phone facilties which is a real... More

This is a wonderful chance to be in the city that never sleeps but still have your safe lovely street in Harlem!, looking like it is in an english little town. We were really surprised by this lovely guesthouse, friendly hosts and so easy to get into downtown New York! Although we stayed in Harlem, what might give you the... More

We loved staying at Sylvan Guest House. the proprietors, the historical neighbourhood, and the inviting character of the apartment itself made our stay very memorable! Totally worth the money, and we'd definitely stay again. A great introduction to Harlem!!!

I enjoyed my brief stay in the Studio at The Sylvan Guest House and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a safe place in a historical neighborhood. Of course it's not in midtown, but I found that as a distinct advantage. I look forward to a return to the Sylvan on my next trip to New York.

Having just returned from staying at the Sylvan Guest House as a single female, I am quite shocked to see such a review as the one before. Staying here was fun and I enjoyed every single moment relaxing in a warm, safe and comfortable environment that felt like home away from home. It felt great coming home to a place... More

The Sylvan Guest House was wonderful, my family and I stayed for 7 days and is was everything and more than what we expected. The house looked exactly as the pictures in the internet which of course is the main concern of anyone traveling to any new place, but the size, service and commodities were absolutely wonderful. Julio was very... More

My family (three kids - 8, 11 and 14) had a very pleasant stay at the Sylvan Guest House. We were very pleased with the historical value of the house and its very interesting and safe environment. Having a metro stop nearby and a grocery store around the corner was also a great benefit to us. Julio helped to have... More
