Ricky's apartment is located in one of the most historically delightful neighborhoods in Manhattan, Hamilton Heights; named so since Hamilton himself lived in a yellow house just blocks away from Ricky's apartment (yes, you can go visit). The neighborhood is bright and vibrant, with rich culture. Right next to the express A and D train, you'll be in the center of all the action within 15-20 minutes, and you'll most likely be able to grab a seat in the train. Ricky is thoughtful, kind, and generous and his place was clean as a whistle. Ricky made sure to check in and see if I was all right in the most non-invasive ways. It's a pleasure to know someone is looking out for you during your stay. I really could not recommend Ricky's place any more to folks looking to crash in NYC and really feel like a local (trust me, I was once one myself for several years. 10/10.
