Staying with Tim was a godsend as we moved to New York. We arrived in the dark and Tim made sure he was there to greet us and give us keys. He helped us carry our bags up the three floor walk-up and immediately offered us a beer. The room was clean and had plenty of maps to get us around the area, blankets to keep us warm, and storage for our things (mainly a closet and dresser).

His apartment is set up in a way that there is plenty of common space to work and relax in so that you are not confined to your bedroom (even though that is quite large and a desk and couch are provided.) His kitchen is fully stocked with cookware that he kindly let us use, he even cooked for us a few times!

The neighborhood is very safe feeling, and 2ish blocks to the subway. Its about a 10 minute walk to the grocery store and only a fifteen minute walk to the park that has great views of Manhattan.

Overall Tim was great and his place was great. He was probably the best person we could have stayed with as we moved. He is easy to get along with and is a very respectful roommate and host. My only advice to people is to make sure you bring earplugs if noise affects your sleeping, the furnace is a little loud and there were a couple louder nights in general. Enjoy!

Thanks for everything Tim! Best of luck!
