We just spent 5 nights at the Harlem Flophouse. It is a very beautiful home and I was glad we decided to stay. However, it is not really a bed and breakfast. It reminds me of a upscale lodging house or hostle. The bed and bathroom are very clean. The bed mattress is uncomfortable, but I am use to my... More

We had a wonderful time staying in the Harlem Flophouse. We traveled in a group of 8 and got the whole house to ourselves. The beds were very comfortable and the shower very nice! We could recommend this beautiful house to anyone coming to NYC and wanting to stay in en unique place! Thank u Rene! More

this place is a great example of living history. it is a beautifully restored period town house. no air conditions (fan seemed fine to me) and no tv. like walking into the past. even the digital radio in the room was a vintage looking model. very comfortable bed. safe neighbourhood. definitely a real gem. i stayed here for three nights...

Not only were the staff and facilities top notch, the owner Rene advised us to come and see him play at the local blues club and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. As a music fan, having the chance to see... More

If you feel like like wanting to stay in a magnificent period brownstone without renting a whole one this is your answer!! More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Harlem Flophouse for a just a weekend and we had a great time; I hope we could've stayed longer. Rene--the owner--puts a lot of love in what he does. Before we left he e-mailed us instructions on how to get there from all major airports, train and bus stations, and once we were... More

This is my second time staying at the Harlem Flophouse. I stayed again for two nights. Compared to average NYC hotel rates this is a bargain if your intention is to simply have a comfortable bed in which to sleep on a quiet street and in a location conveniently near the phenomenal NY subway system. It only takes a few... More
