Artist-owned and run, The Harlem Flophouse, an 1890s brownstone, with many fixtures and furnishings of the period, is a piece of history.

Just steps from major attractions like The Apollo Theater, Marcus Garvey Park, with free, live performance, The Lennox House and Minton's, which has nightly jazz, it's in the heart of Harlem. Rooms must be paid in full 1 week before arrival.
