My husband and I spent 4 nights with Ryan and Crutch this past week. We were in NY for a touristy trip and needed a place that was convenient to the subway and reasonably priced. Their home offered an incredible value and a lovely space. We left every morning and returned around midnight each night (on the subway).
Crutch welcomed us with helpful tips about the area, a tour of the space and a thoughtful goodie bag. We had our own room and private bathroom. The bathroom is down the hall but we did not bump into anyone while going to and from. It was spotless and had lots of toiletries we were able to use (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, hand soap, etc.). The queen-sized bed was extremely comfortable and it was nice to have nightstands with lamps on both sides of the bed. There was also a futon in the room that would accommodate another person (or two). The wifi was strong and constant and electrical outlets were plentiful. I typically unpack when I travel but there wasn't a dresser or much shelf space so we lived out of our luggage. It was easy to access on the 2 luggage racks. I am a very sensitive sleeper and had no issues with noise this stay. There is a rumble of the subway occasionally but it was very easy to tune out. There was no coffee but a bodega is located 2 minutes away which made morning coffee a breeze.
Ryan and Crutch are both friendly and responsive. We would stay again on our next trip.
