MBnb is inspired by the great Belgian artist Marcel Broodthaers, who once wondered if he might not sell something and succeed in life. MBnb is a private bedroom and bath within a larger dupelx apartment. The dining room and kitchen are shared with the founding director of the Broodthaers Society of America, who lives on the garden level.

The space
MBnb is a private single bedroom, office, and full bath adjacent to the gallery on the parlor floor. It is a legally zoned professional space that can be used for mounting art exhibitions, launching design prototypes, or conducting private business by appointment. It also features a document archive and a permanent art collection.

The room is attached to a garden level via an interior stairway. There is shared access to a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and dining room.

Guest access
When there are no exhibitions on view, guests have exclusive access to the parlor floor, which includes gallery space, a full bath, and an office/bedroom. When there is an exhibition on view, the gallery portion of the parlor floor is open to the public during precise afternoon hours.

Guests have their own set of keys and can come and go as they please. The entry hallway and foyer are shared with five other occupants of the building.

During your stay
I am always reachable by phone/text for directions, restaurant recommendations, things to do and things to avoid. I know Harlem very well, it is a beautiful neighborhood for walking.

Other things to note
MBnb is reachable by public transit, taxi, and ride sharing. It is conveniently located in relation to all New York City-area airports.
