The manager was polite and unobtrusive and check-in and check-out were easy. The room was very comfortable after the A/C had a few hours to catch up. There is a kitchenette on the top floor with dishes, refrigerators, etc, making extended stays very tolerable. We had the top floor to ourselves so the shared bathroom was not an issue. Best of all, this price is very affordable and it is handy to everything. Will definitely stay again!

The bathroom was shares with another room, but large, updated and kept clean. There is a kitchen well- stocked with coffee, tea, cereal, etc. but no breakfast served. Only downside was hearing the noise of other guests in the wee hours, which might be remedied with some rugs or carpeting on the stairs and in the hallways. Shannon, the young woman who worked there, was delightful and extremely responsive. If she chooses a career in hospitality, she will be awesome. Overall, I recommend the place for its location, comfort and value.

Neighborhood at night is a little sketchy but you are in center of Harlem. I felt safe but at night not very safe. I was ok with that but I know some people may not be. Inside is cozy and homey, the hosts are nice but more is expected from a room that is over $200/night We stayed for 6 days and not once did cleaning service come through even though they told us at check in that they come through every 4-5 days. The AC unit is ok but the air flow in the room is poor and there is no circulation to the loft where the 2nd bed is located. Thankfully it was early June and not too hot. The middle of summer would have been miserable. The downstairs can be ice box(ask for blankets) but the loft is too hot to sleep. By the way there is a large opening where the AC unit was installed so it will get very hot without AC on. The fact that they provide the cheapest single ply TP seems to represent the management's attitude. Provide the bare minimum. Paying $200 + night and not spend the extra $1 for a decent roll of TP.

Not only, did I have to wait an hour because Tim "forgot" that we had an appointment to see the apartment, but, when I asked about renting a short term stay in this condo building he said no problem. My parents, who were supposed to stay there, canceled their hotel reservations, so they could stay in this place and two weeks before they are supposed to come, Tim sends them an email saying that NYC is cracking down on rentals and he "can't rent the apartment to them." This guy is a flake and completely unprofessional. DO NOT rent from him.

Have been emailing Urban cowboy for a few days…read more.. I was told I can do a special boudior shoot at their tree house for $450 for 4 hours... As a bride who cares about details I decided to do it and that we would rent out the tree house for 2 days the weekend of our wedding in October! Costing us $2,000 despite probably not being able to find anyone to fill the second room for $500 a night! But I wanted it to be worth it. We spend our first night as husband and wife at the same location where had a special boudoir shoot for my future husband to cherish forever ! And it'll be special for the both of us! On May 19th I was told it was $450 for the shot! Great! I'll spend it and pay my photographer,it's worth it! 2 days later I was told their policy changed! 2 days!!!!!! Despite them giving me their word! So then they asked for me to pay the full day buy out 1,000 for the shoot! I only need 2-4 hours max! And they couldn't change their policy that's SO IMPORTANT! If it's so important why was I told otherwise by their own employee) Anyway I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Yes the place is cool but clearly they only care about the money rather than customer service! I'm personally live my life being held accountable for my word. I would never say something I wouldn't/couldn't do (if you ever had kids or dealt with them you know they'll hold you up to it) isn't that how you should run a business?!?! Your mistake! Your problem?! Maybe learn but also stay true to what you said and don't let it happen again?! But clearly the people at Urban Cowboy don't care about their word! So disappointed!!! And I was planning to use them for other things! Baby moon, baby shower, anniversary! They just lost this lifetime customer over their own mistake! - I even have screenshots of our conversation! But can't post photos on here for some reason.

I rented the Urban Cowboy B&B for a full weekend last year…read more Jersey, the inn keeper, was a terrible communicator. I inquired about a full rental and she rarely followed up, never answered questions, and her emails were littered with typos. This should have been a warning sign but I was too smitten with the venue. Against my better judgement, I continued to reach out and went forward in renting the house for a full weekend. We used the house as lodging for my wedding party and as a base to get ready in the morning. I also inquired about hosting a 30-person rehearsal dinner at the house, for which I had to pay an additional event fee. The event rental (an additional $2k) provided us with no additional benefits, not even a floor plan when requested. And good luck coordinating your event with Jersey. Since she's so unresponsive, you'll have to guess at the logistics and just do everything yourself. The folks here are not afraid to upcharge you at every corner. Imagine my shock when this "bed and breakfast" wanted to charge us for breakfast and housekeeping- something that IS included with room stays but apparently NOT with the more expensive full house rental. Nowhere was this greedy policy disclosed on the website or in our contract- we felt falsely advertised to and misled, and it contributed to making us feel unwelcome during our stay. The lack of hospitality continued the rest of the weekend. Jersey made us feel like we were invading the house or something, and all I ever got from her were feelings of resentment. Yikes! I'm sorry you have to live in the basement for the weekend but maybe you shouldn't rent out the house or you should find a new occupation. No smiles, no congratulations, just rude glares at us from across the room. Jersey had no qualms about coming upstairs every hour during our rehearsal dinner- telling us to keep it down and just making us feel really awkward. We were a tame group who kept the noise at a respectful level the entire time. We shut down before 10:30pm. But since the Urban B&B had already received noise violations and was already in trouble with their neighbors due to raucous partying they've had in the past, *I* was being penalized and policed at every corner. Checkout was noon and though my entire party was on time for check out, even tidying up a bit in the kitchen, backyard, and bedrooms, Jersey was upstairs in the main living area at 10AM watching our every move. She was rushing us out, did not lift a finger to help do anything, and it soured the experience even more. The house is very pretty. The main living areas and master bedroom are as lovely as the photos. The kitchen is a dream. The other bedrooms are a little cold and sparse, and I felt bad for guests staying in the smaller, draftier rooms. They don't feel nearly as special as the rest of the house. The cabin is conceptually cool, though not the most comfortable place to sleep (and it's hard to forget you're in a backyard in Brooklyn). The wall hanging of a native american skull against a backdrop of cowboy memorabilia also made me feel really uncomfortable- talk about insensitive. The place could benefit from some security. One of the design features of the house are the giant garage doors that lead to the front and backyard. Cool but not very secure. On the first day, during our rehearsal dinner, the garage door was left open. A total stranger wandered inside during broad daylight and, if we hadn't caught them suspiciously eyeing our bags, I'm not sure what would have happened. We closed the garage door promptly after that and locked our rooms every night. The house photographs beautifully, but I would never recommend this to anyone as lodging. Jersey was the most unpleasant person I have ever had to work with- and *I* was the client! The folks who run it should not be in the hospitality business. Save yourself the headache, listen to the reviews, and stay elsewhere.

I have always operated with a policy of preferring to support small and family-owned or independent…read morebusinesses as often as possible. They almost always tend to show more empathy and respect than chains or corporate conglomerates. Unfortunately this business also has a policy and it's to show zero respect for its customers. When the event you are traveling for is canceled due to 60 mph wind and the coastal flooding and torrential rain that accompanies a serious tropical storm, they're not even apologetic about taking your money for a service they don't render to you. It's one thing to have a policy, it's another to hide behind it to exploit someone else. I've never anywhere else seen a deposit required for a one-night stay (note to owners, a deposit is by definition something you get back). Had I booked a room at HGI Express like I was initially planning to, I wouldn't have had to discover that yet another "small business" turns out to be just as greedy as anyone else. I hope other customers are wary that you will be charged whether or not you actually stay in this hotel no matter what extenuating circumstances prevent you from doing so.
