Honesty is important to me. I expect business owners to tell me, upfront, the exact cost of the stay. Once we agreed on a price, there should be additional charges or fees. At Jane Darling House, the prices appeared to be straightforward. This is why I was so surprised to discover an additional charge, beyond the nightly rate. It was... More

The house is absolutely wonderful! Every morning Jane made us a home-cooked breakfast with healthy smoothies, good coffee,...

There was absolutely no noise from the streets. Some remarks... More

This was one of my most anticipated stays of my trip 7 week trip to the US and Jane and her beautiful house did not disappoint.

We stayed in the Serenity room and it was beautiful, so peaceful and with a fantastic bed. There are still no locks on the doors (other reviewers have mentioned the lack of locks), which really is a bit strange. The bathroom we shared with another couple was also very nice, and once you got to meet the guests at breakfast... More

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...

The brownstone is situated in a great location, close to the subway lines which will get you to almost anywhere in NYC in no time. Breakfasts were delicious -... More

Jane Darling House is a charming hotel, which offers the visitor to New York a little more insight into what life is like in the city than one would normally see by staying at one of the more 'chainy' hotels. I spent three nights in this hotel an enjoyed every minute. The accommodation was splendid, beautifully finished and decorated to... More

East Harlem is charmingly ethnic and primarily black, but this does not mean it isn't safe. As a woman travelling alone on the subway, then walking to Jane's B&B after midnight, I was alert to my surroundings. Nothing about the neighbourhood gave me cause for concern. Jane, who is originally from Cameroon, makes friends easily and obviously enjoys people, yet... More
