  Apartment is located in a very good position, as it is very close to the Metro stationS and quiet in the night. It is a 4th floor small but nice place, with WIFI but no wardrobe. Bathroom was working even if could be easily "improved" and could be the only aspect of the apartment not completely satisfatory. I think I can recommend this apartment, and I also can recommend Troy as a goos, easy and very gentle host. Was a great time. Luca - Milan

  Las fotos del piso no van acorde con la realidad, el piso es mucho más viejo y descuidado de lo que se aprecia en las fotos. El lavabo es viejo y se cae a trozos..además hay un problema muy evidente con la cisterna del vater, se nos embozó un par de veces sin poderlo utilizar...en esas condiciones Airbnb no debería permitir alquilar un apartamento asi y menos aún cuando el propietario es consciente del problema y no hace nada para evitarlo. A favor de Troy tengo que decir que respondió con... More »

  The apartment was great. Communication with Troy was great, to the lead up to our stay, he communicated with us via email and sms, and on the day of arrival, Troy met us outside the apartment building, helped with our luggage (there is no lift) and made sure that we were at home. The apartment itself was nice, it was an old apartment but still very comfy, had everything you need for either a short or long stay. Location was great, 1 minute to central park west and 20-25mins to the main... More »

  The experience was good.The house was like in the pictures but was not as clean as we were wished.Three days we were visited by little friends from the bath pipes and the toilet got stuck frequently and we had to use the plunger.This things make me think that the price of the apartament must be cheaper.I forgot that the apartament is in the fourth floor and the first and last day i did much sport with our bags.

  The appartement's location is in a quiet neighborhood located next to the central park and is perfect for daily sightseeing trips in every possible direction. We had a great time there. The flat could need a bit of cleaning though. Troy was a great host and answered all of our questions right away.

  The site close to Central Park is great, but don't expect too much from the apartment itself. Troy will be shocked if you ask for a dish towel, a second glass or other kitchen stuff.

  L'appartement n'est pas loin de la station de métro et le quartier est plutôt calme. Néanmoins, il s'est avéré que l'appartement était plutôt sale (moutons sous le lit, fromage fondu dans le micro-onde à notre arrivée...etc) Nous lui en avons fait part sur place mais il faut croire que nos standards de propreté ne sont pas les mêmes. En plus de cela un rafraîchissement de l'appartement ne serait pas du luxe, sans parler du débouchage quotidien des toilettes...En dehors de cela, Troy a été... More »

  Troy was a fantastic host. He was incredibly accommodating, meeting us late at night on one of the hottest days of the year and even had the AC cranked to perfection. The apartment was a great price for the location, 2 blocks from the C train and 1 block from Central Park. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and check-out was a breeze!

  + Very close connection to the subway + You will sleep in the real NY flat + safety + nice location near the Central park - plughole of the shower is jammed - no budget of the toilet paper (sorry, if you pay 1200 USD and then find one roll... it is "funny") - no more bags for the trash

  Quelle déception ! L'ensemble de l'appartement s'est trouvé être plutôt sale et mal entretenu. La réalité s'est malheureusement trouvée ne pas refléter l'élégance du logement affichée par les photos du site. La salle de bain est à la limite d'être acceptable quand l'appartement est située en plein Manhattan ! L'ensemble des robinetteries y est détérioré, les faïences et les joints sont cassés et crasseux. Dans la chambre, déjà plus petite qu'il n'y paraît sur les photos, le cadre du lit... More »

  Fabulous getaway from the high-energy crowds of the rest of Manhattan. Location is perfect for subway use -- even with the construction that's underway this spring. Apartment was welcoming, clean and everything worked well. Free WiFi and cable TV -- a must for working away from home and keeping up on favorite sports coverage. Troy was helpful and flexible given our delayed arrival. In short, we had everything we needed at a great price. Would definitely go this route again.

  I' spent 10 days with my boyfriend in troys apartment and we enjoyed it very much. The apartment is located directly between Central Park and Broadway, the subway is just a few steps, so you can be everywhere quickly. We would come back!

  Noam

  First, Troy is very nice guy but the apartment need serious makeover. We use the apartment only for sleeping and shower, please review the following: 1. The apartment is on the 4 floor without elevator – this is big issue because I didn’t saw it in the site or apartment description. 2. Door – not close properly a. Required to slam the door entrance and exit b. The door can’t be locked sometimes without any real reason. 3. Shower – a. Coloring required thorough – walls and... More »

  Troy was great—helpful, and very easy to deal with. The apartment is well decorated with nice big windows overlooking the street below. Short walk to subways, cleaners, groceries, and Central Park. We had a great time here, thanks Troy!

• 

  Kristy

  We had a great time in Troy's apartment. The space is large enough for two and having our own kitchen and living room really made a big difference to our stay in NYC. Location is great - we either caught the subway or walked everywhere we wanted to. We used the couch as an additional bed which was comfortable. Only had a small problem with the main door not opening but Troy and his partner were great is assisting us quickly. Thanks

• 

  Sanne

  As other guests mentioned Troy was really nice. However the apartment was really dirty and the bed needs to be fixed. Further the apartment was too hot for us. There is a central heating system in the building which was on all the time, so we couldn't regulate the temperature by ourselves and we had to open the windows. But because of the wind and the noise of the streets that was not so comfortable either. The location of the apartment was perfect, close to Central Park and the subway. After... More »

  Troy is a wonderful host, he was waiting for us in the apartment even though our flight was late. The Amazing apartment is located just off Central Park in very quiet area and within 2 blocks from the subway.. We strongly recommend this apartment. Thanks to Troy and his apartment we had a great time in New York. THANK YOU

  We found the apartment in need of major repairs and a deep cleaning. The bed is small and like sleeping on an army cot. The TV is sitting on the floor on top of two concrete blocks and the volume constantly goes up and down. No smoke detector in the whole place (dangerous), no coffee maker. We would not stay here again, you can find a better apartment and location for about the same price.

  Aimee

  For the most part we enjoyed our stay at Troy's apartment. He met us at the apartment and was very friendly and helped lift our suitcases up the four flights of stairs to the apartment (there's no elevator). The apartment was comfortable and warm - like other reviewers, we did have problems with the toilet not flushing properly and then overflowing which was quite unpleasant. The location was great, only about a 3 minute walk from a subway station and very close to Central Park. We really... More »

  Roberta

  Troy was really nice. He came at Penn station were our bus stopped to gave us home's key. Home was nice. Dining and bedroom really nice. Bathroom no so good and stairs so so. 8/10 is my point. In add: Building very quite and logistically well positioned...very close to metro!! The only bad think: home was a little bit dirty!!!

  Emmanuelle

  L'accueil de Troy était parfaite. Concernant l'appart, nous sommes un peu mitigé... La situation est très chouette car très calme, tout près du métro et quartier très sympa. Chouette déco. Il est d'une très bonne dimension pour 2 personnes. Cependant, l'appart manque cruellement de fraîcheur (surtout la salle de bain)... on voit très bien que l'appart n'est JAMAIS nettoyé à fond (il n'y a même pas d'aspirateur!). De plus, la toilette se bouche très rapidement. Troy was very... More »

  We really enjoyed our stay at Troy's apartment! He is a great host and the apartment is really nice and clean.

  Jessica

  Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location near Central Park, the subway, restaurants and stores was perfect. It's in a quiet neighborhood and gets a lot of sunlight. It could use a lot of little things, though. A top sheet for the bed in addition to the feather duvet, hand towels for the bathroom and kitchen, and washcloths were a few of the things that we would have liked to have. As another reviewer noted there are several things that could use some attention (shelves, bed frame, etc).... More »

  The apartment was a pretty comfortable place. It probably gave us a sense on how New Yorkers lived. The location was great for us, just about 2 blocks away from the closest subway station, across the street from Central Park. Troy was really helpful. He called us to find out when we would arrive, and when we arrived at the apartment, he was already waiting for us. He provided us with helpful hints on getting on the Subway.

• 

  Michel

  Great location for visiting NYC from this appartment with facilities around a few blocks. Troy was a nice host and ready to answer any question. However, there are little things to be fixed (cleaning, broken shelves, bed) for this place to become perfect. Anyway, great value for money. Recommended.

  Sylla

  Great visit to NYC made even better by a stay at Troy's place. Just right for two of us, and the location could not be beat: 2 blocks to the subway and 1 block to the park. We ate out, and we ate in - getting food from the market and enjoying a leisurely breakfast before a day out. Would definitely stay here again! Troy was a lovely host!

• 

  Gene

  This is our second time at Troy's place, and could not be happier with the apartment!! As you can see from the other reviews, there is so much to like about the place. The apartment was clean and very spacious - it truly does feel like a home away from home. Internet access came in quite handy as well. The location cannot really be beat for the price. It's just steps from the subway and across the street from Central Park in a quiet neighborhood. Whole Foods Market is right around the... More »

  Top floor apartment,great location opposite Central Park and 2-5 minutes from two subway stations. Loads of interesting restaurants in Harlem and Morningside e.g. Miss Mamie's on 110th that does fab fried chicken.The ubiquitous(and slightly poncy) Wholefoods around the corner. Two small snags- the toilet flooded the flat below and it could do with a good spring clean but otherwise is a cosy bolthole in a nice neighbourhood.

  Juan

  Spent 5/7-5/12 at Troy's apt, my wife and I enjoyed it. Subway is a block away and from there we went all over Manhattan. Groceries were around the block so saved on food expenses also. The place is almost in front of Central Park so enjoyed that too. Loved it and if given the opportunity to go back to New York, we would stay there again.

• 

  Jeremy

  Troy was great, the apt was great, clean and spacious! Close to the subway and the park, it's fantastic! would definitely stay again!

• 

  Gary

  Just spent 6 days in Troys apartment. We loved the location and found lots of places to eat in the area. The morning walks around Central Park were inspiring - and very New York. Troy met us and was very friendly. The apartment was ideal for us and we were very comfortable. It was great value. But Troy, where was the kettle and toaster? The toaster is shown in the photographs!!!! We would certainly recommend it.

  I Stayed in Troys apartment for 1 1/2 weeks The apartment was a comfortable place. The location was great for me, just about 2 blocks away from the closest subway station, across the street from Central Park. The apartment was very spacious. I recommend this place!!

  Rekha

  This place was fantastic - the flat was spacious, clean, had everything we needed, and was in a good location. Troy was very quick to respond to emails and friendly and helpful about everything. Next time I'm in the city would definitely try to stay here again. Thanks a lot!

  Shaun

  Had a wonderful time staying at Troy's apartment. He was most accommodating, even going so far as allowing me to cancel the last day of my 6 night reservation without problem. As stated in previous reviews and in his bio, Troy truly is an easy going guy that will do his best to make your stay enjoyable. The apartment was in great shape when I arrived. Cable with DVR, internet access, and even strawberry oatmeal was provided during my stay(the oatmeal actually ended being a real savior one... More »

  I had a great experience in NY in part thanks to Troy and his perfect place. Everything worked perfectly. It´s a really nice apartment in a ideal location. Thank you Troy. We will for sure meet again.

  Troy's place was perfect. The apartment had no problems and everything worked out great. He met my gf and me early on Thursday at the apartment to hand us the keys and gave us a quick run down of everything. The apartment - Clean, exactly as in pictures, nice bed, good living room area, nice kitchen, bathroom with good shower, zero problems with toilet (I think people just need to hold the handle down for longer so that it flushes and doesn't stay running). The four flights of stairs... More »

  Stayed in Troys apartment for 2 1/2 weeks and was an ideal apartment for my purposes. Had no problems with the toilet and climbing the stairs is no hardship. A good workout :). The apartment is perfectly located next to Central Park and very close to Harlem. I would stay here again. Many thanks Troy

  Had the recent pleasure to stay at Troy's place in northwest NYC. Even though my flight got in late, Troy was very friendly and seemed more than happy to meet me at the apartment upon my arrival. He was very nice and gave me a run down of the neighborhood and nearby shops and restaurants. The apartment was clean and quite spacious, by NYC standards. The neighborhood was quiet and the apartment is within a 5 minute walk to the subway. Central Park is right across the street. The main... More »

  Convenient place to stay.This place is quite strategic, only two blocks to subway to down town and situated nearby central park.Supermarket is only 1 block away.I highly recommend to stay at this place and consider to stay here again.Thanks a lot Troy!

  Toni

  Great place to stay. Great location. Safe and comfortable. The stairs will give you a work out if you are not used to them but who goes to NYC and doesn't expect to walk. Would definitely stay again.

  Ehsan

  We were at Troy's place from Sept 3 to 7th. Great location, awesome apartment. The place is a little old, but got LOTS of character. The stairs will give you a good work out, especially if you're drunk (i speak from experience). Troy was in the apt when we arrived, very nice guy to work with. I would rent his place again

  I agree with Miriam, below, but is not a problem, we have chosen to travel this way, we accept the unexpected. The apartment was perfect for me. Good place, great location, extraordinary for live the city. Thanks for the experience Troy, thanks to AirBnB.

  Miriam

  Well, I agree with most of the reviews below: - great location: 2 blocks from the subway, lines A, B and C stops there. - next to Central Park. - very well decorated. - spacious for a couple. Comfortable bed. However, - we found the appartment not very clean. It should have been swept a little bit before we arrived, at least kitchen and bathroom. - the flash of the toilet gets blocked most of times, and we had to cut the water once as it started flooding! - the worst of it, we...

  Great place. Troy is a great and helpfull host. The apartment is silent and tranquille. There is a supermarket around the corner on 100th St. With the subway on 103rd you have easy access to down town (lines B and C. The A goes local late nights and stops on the 103rd). We found some nice restaurants on Columbus Street (near subway station on 81st ST Central Park West, 3 stops from 103rd). But there are so many other good restaurants in New York worth a ride to. If you like vegetarian food we... More »

  Troy's place is spacious for New York and in a great location only a couple blocks from the Subway. The bathroom needs some work and he also needs to provide more linens. The stairway up to the apartment is really run down and unclean but the apartment itself is nice for the price. Bring your hairdryer, there is not one provided.

  pros: - the apartment is spatious, and has all the needed confort; - Troy is very quick and practical, which is highly appreciated; - silent at night; - near the metro; - price is adeguate to what you have. Cons: - not very clear; - not really maintened, expecially the bathrom, which needs a strong renewal (flush sometimes does not work,i.e.); - unpleasant cooking smells in the building any time; - location is not the top, even if central park: no markets or restaurant in the...
