First and foremost, the location is phenomenal and cannot be beat AND Troy was an amazing host. He was quick to respond to all communication, and was flexible for our check-in time as our flight delay left us running two hours behind our anticipated arrival time. Even though we planned to arrive at 11AM Troy had offered for us to hold our suitcases in the apartment until we could check in at 12-1 (although we ended up arriving at this time anyways). Troy met us at the apartment door and carried up both mine and my mothers suitcases up all 5 floors to the apartment. There are separate keys for the main street level apartment door, apartment unit, and your personal airBnB room. We felt our items were safe in the locked room, however a few times when we came to the apartment, the unit door was unlocked. The apartment is clean and there is common area in the fully loaded kitchen for cooking if needed (we ended up eating all of our meals out of the apartment - except for breakfast foods which we kept in the kitchen fridge). The private room is everything that you need while staying in New York City. Just large enough for 2 people to share. The double size bed was comfortable but quite squeaky and creaky - luckily both my mom and I are sound sleepers so this wasn't an issue. Also, if you are light sensitive consider bringing eye cover as the lights from Times Square flash intermittently through the skylight all night. There was both an armoire and a set of shelves to store your belongings. There was a TV but we never turned it on. There are two wifi options, however they were quite slow at certain times of the day. We found the connection was best in early mornings. Don't plan to do any live streaming. There was a power bar with many plugs to charge all of our devices. Also the room had both a ceiling fan and its own stand up air conditioning unit. This was essential even though it wasn't super hot during the days we visited, the room still got very hot an muggy in the evening, and would have been intolerable without A/C. We left the ceiling fan on all the time, but could only run the A/C while we were in the room as you had to empty the water receptacle frequently and it could overflow. We loved having a private bathroom within the room. It was just large enough for one person, and Troy had supplied nice thick towels with all kinds of amenities (tooth brush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner ... etc.) Tip: Make sure to run the hot water for a few minutes or else your shower will be ice cold. Overall the room was everything that we needed for our trip as we spent most of the days exploring the city and taking tours. The location was amazing, less than a...
