René was helpful upon check-in and allowed me to come a little earlier, which was great. I was also able to leave my luggage there for a few hours before I moved on to my next location, which was awesome. The Harlem Flophouse is a SUPER cool old building that René has beautiful maintained and redone in the old style. The rooms are gorgeous and bathrooms are great. I love the old claw-foot tubs! The place was quiet and everyone staying in the rooms was courteous. René provided huge fans in the rooms which worked great in the summer heat. The street is quiet. This location is also close to the subway, which was very convenient. I would definitely recommend this place for singles or couples.
