I can't say more about Troy's place in The Bronx. We were in NYC to take in the Mariners vs. Yankees series, and to see the sights. The easy and quick access to the Intervale subway station (less than a five minute walk) made getting around NYC a breeze.
I loved the neighborhood. It's quiet and residential. There is a small bodega downstairs, and and a supermarket (Western Beef) about a five minute walk away. It is worth mentioning that the neighbors like to have a good time on weekend evenings. That is not Troy's fault and should not dissuade you from booking this place, but be aware that you are in an urban space and it's not going to be whisper quiet.
The apartment itself lived up to the beautiful photos (not always the case on Air BnB!). The furnishings are modern, the place was immaculately clean, the bedrooms were all good sized for an NYC apartment, and we were very comfortable throughout our stay.
Finally, Troy was responsive, easy to work with, and really went the extra mile for us. I appreciated that he met us outside and gave a short tour of the apartment. Any time I had a question, he was right back to me with an answer.
Do not hesitate to book Troy's Bronx apartment! Should future travels bring me back to the Bronx, I know where I'll be aiming to stay!
