The harlem flophouse was exactly as advertised, authentic rustic and beautiful, arrived to a beautiful set up room, greeted by the radio playing and the sound of bluejays in the back garden, it was an amazing experience and so well situated for travel throughout the city, a 5 minute walk to 125th street subway station and a 10 minute ride to times square and beyond. 10/10 experience and would happily stay here again.

Amazing affordable accommodation in Harlem with an old time vibe

9.0

- René ist ein exzellenter, unglaublich sympathischer Gastgeber: Die Kommunikation verlief einwandfrei und als wir ein Problem im Zimmer hatten (defekte Jalousien), hat er das Problem zügig behoben - Unserer Zimmer war sehr großräumig und so liebevoll mit allen möglichen interessanten Erinnerungsstücken dekoriert, sodass man sich richtig wohl gefühlt hat. - gute Lage: Es sind nur 7 min bis zur U-Bahn und mit dem A-Train ist man in ca. 20min am Times Square

- Das Gebäude und somit auch die Dielen sind recht alt und knarren bei jedem Schritten. Leider waren die Gäste über unserem Zimmer abends manchmal sehr aktiv/ haben sehr auf den Boden gestampft, sodass sogar der Kronleuchter in unserem Zimmer recht laut vibriert hat. Der Lärm war teilweise etwas störend.

Experience time travel into the best of the Harlem Renaisannce!

10.0

I loved the whole sultry jazz vibe: ambient music plus period woodwork, porcelain, wallpaper, and decor. It felt so much like time travel that I opened the window the first night instead of looking for the air conditioner control. The room was huge and still has all of the boarding room amenities, prompting me to imagine myself as a very comfortable long term guest back in the day.

The water temperature controls were finicky but the water pressure was awesome.
