Staying at Jumel Terrace Books Bed and Breakfast is an experience you will never forget. All guests have access to the Jumel Terrace Books, an antiquarian bookshop specializing in Harlem Heights local history, located on the ground floor of the house.

This 1891 brownstone townhouse is across the historic Morris-Jumel Mansion, the oldest house in Manhattan, and around the corner you’ll be walking on cobblestones in Sylvain Terrace, a block of wood-framed row houses from 1882. The garden apartment is suitable for a maximum occupancy of three persons; it features a large bedroom, a sitting room with a single bed, a fully equipped kitchen, including breakfast food supplies, private bathroom and a beautiful garden with a gas grill.

An additional room with private bath is available on the second floor. Both accommodations have cable TV and internet access, although the collection of rare books surrounding you in this beautiful home, will make you forget the very existence of modern day entertainment systems.

Jumel Terrace Books Bed and Breakfast also has rooms for private functions, which are available upon request. Should you choose to visit the city in style, private tours in a black 1976 Checker Marathon car driven by a knowledgeable guide/driver are also available.
