We had a really great stay at Troy's place! He is super friendly and we really felt at home at his place!
We had almost a 2 hour delay at check in and although he was now late for an appointment he still took the time to show us around the apartment and share some city tips with us.
The apartment is shared with four other guest rooms but we didn't even notice anyone. It was like we had the place all to ourselves.
In our room we had our own private bathroom, but if needed there was a shared bathroom down the hall. Troy has everything you need so you can travel lighter. Shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, curling iron, etc. He even thought of things like shower caps, q-tips, shaving cream and co. I especially appreciated the travel-sized toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash!
There is a ceiling fan which kept the room nice and cool. For hotter days you can turn on the AC and for colder days you can take out the heater.
Although we didn't use the kitchen, it was fully equipped with everything you could possibly want or need. Including an Italian and French coffee maker!
Although you are in the center of the city, it was nice and quiet in the apartment. The bed was big and comfortable and we had no problem falling asleep. If you are light sensitive, bring a sleeping mask; noise sensitive, bring earplugs - I had both with me but didn't need them. And if you forget your earplugs, no worries, Troy has a pair for you! ;)
Troy's apartment is up 5 flight of stairs. Coming from overseas we had way too much luggage with us. Knowing this we were prepared to make two trips but Troy took the two heaviest suitcases and carried them up for us. Thanks Troy!
We highly recommend Troy's place and would definitely stay again the next time we are in Manhattan! Thanks Troy! You are a champ!
