Troy is a great host, he's always available whenever you need something!
I stayed here for 4-months while working an internship.
The room is good value for NYC. You get what you pay for but as a base for someone who is going to be out of the place most of the time, it's pretty good!
You've got your own bathroom, a desk, mini fridge and comfortable bed. The shared Kitchen has the basic facilities you need.
It's an extremely central location - earplugs are needed at night!
