What Efuru Guest House actually is
Efuru Guest House occupies a brownstone in Harlem and operates as a small guesthouse rather than a hotel — a handful of rooms, a residential atmosphere and an owner-run feel that larger properties cannot replicate.
Staying in a Harlem brownstone is a genuinely different experience of New York from a Midtown tower. The neighbourhood's jazz venues, restaurants and the Apollo Theater are within walking distance, and the express subway reaches Midtown in about fifteen minutes.

Where it sits
Harlem is where Manhattan stops being a grid of offices and starts being a set of neighborhoods people actually live in. The brownstone blocks off Lenox and Adam Clayton Powell are some of the handsomest residential streets in the city, and the stretch of 125th Street is still the commercial and cultural spine it has been for a century. Hotels here are mostly small, independent, and considerably cheaper than anything below 96th Street, and the express trains put you in Midtown in about fifteen minutes.
