Visiting Us in New York

We encourage all of our friends and family to visit us in New York City.  All are welcome.  Plus, we have space for you.  We made sure to find a two-bedroom apartment so we can host guests.

We were fortunate to find something affordable.  As everyone knows, living in NYC is very expensive. 

After being asked what our second bedroom looks like, we thought a picture or two would tell the story best.

Please don't miss the TripAdvisor reviews below.

At move in, the second bedroom was unfurnished and a bit stark.

Lighting is important.

Linens are likewise important.  We also updated the plumbing by adding a combo sink with commode.

We called Aunt Martha for decorating tips.  Above is the end product.  Welcoming, isn't it?

See you soon.

Eric H.:  “Amazing stay”   ●●●●● 
 All the staff from check in to housekeeping was fantastic.  They all went above and beyond.  Fantastic location.  The room at first seemed dank and dungeon-like, but then we warmed up to the accommodations (figuratively not literally, dungeons should be cold, right?)  Can't wait to go back.
Sally S.:  “Happily Surprised”  ●●●●○
I had a wonderful stay.  I wasn't sure whether the prison-like decor would be to my liking but then it grew on me.  Literally.  There was moss growing on the wooden sleeping bench and it stuck to my clothes.  Plus, I realized the water dripping from the ceiling was a needed source of refreshment.  I will recommend this place to all of my friends.  It would be especially great for young children.  The steel bars are a nice touch and the soundproofing is a plus.   

All joking aside.  We saw a recent article that stated nowhere in NYC--all five boroughs--is there an apartment for rent that can be afforded by someone working 40 hours per week at minimum wage (currently, $8.75/hour in NY, just 70¢ more than the minimum wage in relatively affordable Florida).  Obviously, a lot of people combine their incomes, work a second job, work overtime and make difficult choices to make ends meets.  Plus, our friend Dean, who works for the NYC Department of Homeless Services, confirms that keeping and placing clients in housing is getting harder and harder.  A single room in an apartment rents for around $800/month.
