Tommy’s place is in such a great location. Less than a block away from the 2nd Ave subway stop, and a quick walk away from the Broadway-Lafayette stop. So, it’s easy to get around and the neighborhood is great. Tommy is quite friendly, so expect him to want to talk with you a lot when you arrive and when you check out. During our stay he kept his distance and wasn’t a bother, though. One thing we noticed immediately when we arrived was the fairly pungent smell in Tommy’s apartment that remained during our whole trip. It smelled like mildew and was a bit concerning. It made it hard to sleep at night, unless we opened up the window to let some fresh air in (which also let in all the noise from the street and construction near by). We weren’t sure whether Tommy had washed the sheets for the bed either (also, the bed is simply a pull-out couch), and generally speaking the apartment wasn’t as clean as we had expected. At check out, while we were getting dressed and putting away luggage, we heard Tommy start to open the door to the apartment to let himself in. I ran over to make sure he didn’t come in all the way, since we were still getting ready. Maybe there was a communication error on our part, but we had mentioned we would be ready for check out at 8:00 and Tommy tried to let himself in (without notice) a few minutes before 8:00. Again, Tommy is a friendly person, but he made us feel uncomfortable at times.
