Chose Harlem Renaissance House based on the excellent TripAdvisor reviews, and wasn't disappointed! Located on historic, stately, Striver's Row, this B&B is on a quiet side street in lively Harlem. Just a few minutes walk away are Londel's Supper Club (for live jazz and a nice meal) and Jacob's Soul Food (for inexpensive, hearty fare). The metro is also within... More

Really enjoyed staying at the Rennaisance recently ! Located in a quiet tree lined and historic street it is hosted by the owner, Rick, a man with a warm personality. My spacious room was well cleaned, the furnishings (not least the comfortable bed) of good quality, the bathroom spotless. The large picture windows gave a view of sunlit trees and... More

We found Harlem Renaissance House on tripadvisor and also read the “average”-rated review. After staying there for ten days we have to say, that rating this excellent place as “average” is absolutely unfair. New York was the last destination of our trip around the world and this B&B was one of the best we’ve stayed. The room has the standard... More

I was very pleased with this B&B. The location turned out to be very comfortable and within easy walking distance of the subway, which we took all around NYC. We returned late at night and always felt comfortable walking back to the B&B. The B&B itself was very comfortable and clean and had a wonderful charm about it with lots... More

Sweet place to stay in NYC. Very fast subway ride to Midtown. Rick is very personable and helpful. The fresh fruit breakfast was fine, but I would have preferred a bagel over the too sweet cinnamon roll. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. More

My husband and I couldn't wait to stay at the Harlem Renaissance House B&B again after having such a great experience during our last visit in December, 2011. Rick is the perfect host, making every effort to ensure your needs are met and you are enjoying your stay in the city. The neighbourhood is very safe and quaint, away from... More

The Harlem Renaissance House B&B was a wonderful venue. A rather large group of us were visiting NYC for a community service trip over spring break, which is of course prime tourist season. Nevertheless, Rick did an amazing job of accommodating all of us comfortably. He was always pleasant and more than happy to offer suggestions and advice for our... More

I was with a group of 11 people, and Rick was extremely accommodating to us. Everything in the house was immaculate, and being able to use the kitchen was a huge plus. Harlem was a very welcoming place, and just a short walk from the subway. I would definitely go back. More

We stayed at Harlem Renaissance House for a week in the quiet part of January - actually an excellent time to visit New York, as there are still Christmas lights and sparkle but the city belongs firmly to New Yorkers. This beautiful B&B is a gem, both in terms of style, it being a sympathetically renovated period townhouse, with up-to-date... More
