The Harlem Flophouse, New York

“The Chester Himes room I stayed in was a beautifully restored space that captured the essence of a bygone era. It featured an old-style high bed and eccentric décor, made it feel very cozy and inviting. The gentle sound of jazz music playing from the radio as I entered added a good ambiance, making my experience all the more special.” view full review

“The shared bathroom was an absolute treat! It seemed like stepping into a museum with its clawfoot bath and vintage shower setup, showcasing Victorian plumbing and tiles. Despite being shared, the bathroom was always clean and well-maintained, and I appreciated the charming atmosphere it provided.” view full review
