We spent four days here in mid-May and had a wonderful time exploring Harlem for the first time. The house, a lovely and very old brownstone, has enormously high ceilings that take you back to another era; fully restored to its old grandeur with lots of art and beautifully decorated, it's a treat all on its own. The room was... More

Not too long ago I would have been a little anxious about staying in Harlem. After all, I'm a white guy, and Harlem for a long time had a pretty bad rep. But our visit totally disabused me of those doubts. Our time there was a delight. I'll always have fond memories of our stay there, of Harlem itself, and... More

My sister and I had a great time staying here. The old brownstone house has been beautifully renovated and is full of great art work by Peggy and Lloyd's friends and Lloyd himself. The rooms were comfortable, clean and were nicely furnished with old furniture. Peggy and Lloyd were very accommodating and great to talk to. Both have interesting stories... More

Villa 121 is a guest house in a quiet tree-lined street of Harlem, a couple of blocks (short walk) to the West side subway and a very short walk to buses that service down-town and the bronx. The house is charming. It has been sensitively rennovated with stunning woodwork throughout. It is impeccably clean and decorated with an eclectic mix... More

Love love love Villa 121. Took my niece for the first time to NYC, wanted to make sure that she had a great time. Easy access to the subway and/or bus stop. I would not have chosen to stay anywhere else, but here. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and lots of space. After being in the city all day it... More

I spent 2 nights at villa 121 for New Year's celebrations 2011-12. The experience was amazing, would do it again any time. The room was clean and very large. As I was traveling alone, the owners decided to give me a room with my own private bathroom. I felt very comfortable and secure in the house. It was very warm... More

I thought I was going to check in into a nice B&B in the trendy part of Harlem and the reality surpassed all my expectations!! - Living history of NYC: the house itself is classified as National Monument and dates from late 19th century; the interior was renovated with a lot of attention to detail... check out the woodwork... simply...
