Experiencing Jane darling House is about that classic Harlem Brownstone as the centerpiece, it's about beautiful and comforatable interiors, it's about waking up to a scrumptuous breakfast at no additional cost, it's about afternoon tea with scones and cupcakes and central airconditioning. It's about lemonade on the back porch, enjoying a good book and sunbathing on the roof top. So take off you shoes, walk barefoot in the garden, cook and have dinner in our lovely diningroom, play music, watch TV, borrow a book from our exensive library, have some lemonade with iced cupcakes and enjoy the day. All transportation is within walking distance. Fifteen to twenty minutes via subway to midtowm. Subway lines and bus lines include M1, M100, M101, M60, BX15, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and MetroNorth. Rates include all amenities such as breakfast and wifi. So come! to Jane Darling House.

4.6 out of 5What a house!
April 28, 2013
Let me first start by saying that this house exceeded our expectations and then some. As some of the other reviewers commented on, Jane was an EXCELLENT innkeeper and yes, this is a one woman operation. Our group of 13 rented out the entire house and stayed for about four days. Unfortunately, we did not take advantage of the breakfast option but Jane did allow us to purchase groceries and fully use the kitchen as our own. The rooms were EXACTLY as advertised online and everything was beautiful. The common area of the dining/living room was perfectly functional for our group. Jane was always available for any questions we had about the area. She was so warm and accommodating that we felt like she was a part of our family. Also, Harlem is NOT scary or dangerous at all! There are lots of nice restaurants around the corner and the subway is within walking distance. I would recommend this place to EVERYONE! Can't wait to stay here again!
4.0 out of 5Great Value, Nice Stay!

In NYC, you can stay in run-down low amenity hotels for more $$ than staying at Jane Darling House. Don't do it! Jane Darling House rooms are large, clean, with deliberate, unique decor. Our room (Amber) was spacious with comfy beds and a nice bathroom with a large shower. Jane is very sweet, hospitable and professional. She makes a lovely breakfast and even made a breakfast sandwich for us one morning when we had to leave before breakfast. The rooms do not have locks on the doors, but we never felt at risk of having our privacy invaded. Support this burgeoning small business!

I spent five nights at the Jane Darling House. It's a one-woman operation, and Jane is great. Two breakfasts were quiches, one was French toast, two were very high-quality Continental, always with fresh juice or smoothies, French press coffee, and teas. Rooms are cool, but there's no lift, so be prepared to climb stairs. Likewise, Jane is unlikely to enter your room while you're there, so there's no "maid service" in the hotel-sense (which is fine with me). I felt completely safe--125th street is a major thoroughfare, quick access to subway lines and bus lines, and Harlem is cool. Oh yes, bring your own soap and shampoos. This is the best deal in Manhattan, by far.

We so enjoyed our stay with Jane Darling. Our room was larger than a typical NYC studio apartment, and the hospitality outstanding. Highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5A beautiful room in an amazing house
January 10, 2013
We stayed in the Serenity room and it was beautiful, so peaceful and with a fantastic bed. There are still no locks on the door, which really is a bit strange. The bathroom we shared with another couple was also very nice, and once you got to meet them at breakfast it wasn't strange sharing the bathroom anymore. One thing I reacted to was that when we came back in the afternoon, the doors to our rooms was wide open. Don't know why and I never asked, actually (should have). Jane was nice, very quiet and withdrawn. She made a very nice breakfast, one day a type of hash the other day an omelette. We got bread and jam, and one morning a freshly squeezed juice. I'm a big eater and would have wanted more vegetables, more tea (one pot wasn't enough for two people), some fruit etc. The main room was fantastic, something you only dream about. Had we had time, it would have been nice to sit down and read. Maybe get some afternoon tea? I've read that it's offered, but we never heard anything about that.
4.8 out of 5Outstanding B&B!
January 05, 2013
Jane is a superb hostess! Very friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was great and the breakfast was wonderful. Jane makes a fresh and delicious breakfast every morning. From pancakes to croissants and homemade juice. The Scarlett room is tiny but nice and clean. The building itself is spacious and cosy at the same time. Location is perfect with two metro stations within a 5 minute walk. Harlem itself is great as well, we met the most helpful and friendly people there. For an affordable and cosy stay at a great location: go to the Jane Darling House!
5 out of 5A fantasic place to stay!
October 27, 2012
We stayed at Jane Darling House for six nights on our first visit to NYC. It is a truely wonderful place to stay; the Victoria room is absolutely stunning and so spacious, Jane was a fantastic host and will happily advise and assist you with making plans, where to go etc. Breakfast was also great and it was lovely to have something different every day and sharing breakfast with the other guests was really nice. The house is on a main street in Harlem and as two young traveler we felt very safe, although we wouldnt want to 'head too far off the beaten track' so to speak. Excellent location for catching the subway downtown, it only takes 15 mins to reach downtown. When we return to NYC we will definitely stay at jane Darling House! We had a fabulous time.
