Well, I was dreading the stairs but they turned out to be not so bad. Just pace yourself going up. It’s not a race. The room and bathroom were tiny, but clean and tidy. He provided bathroom items that you may have forgotten and the towels were really nice. Coffeemaker and ground coffee was provided in the kitchen. There is a Food Emporium on Eighth Avenue for any grocery items you may need
Troy was very kind to carry my suitcases up and down the stairs. He even rolled them down to Seventh Avenue so we could hail a cab when it was time to leave. I had a wonderful time in NYC and a large part of that was having a convenient economical place to stay with a nice host.
Not all the other AirBnB guests were vigilant about locking the apartment door, so be sure to lock the door to your individual room.
