Hi Friends!

Our FunCycled Stays Airbnb in Troy is available now! If you’d like to book your stay, you can book it here!

This urban home is nestled on the front side of Prospect Park on upper Congress Street in Troy, NY. The parking lot of the house meets up with Prospect Park where you could take a morning run, play free disc golf in the summer, or bring your favorite sport equipment to play it in the wide open field right behind the house. Take a 5 minute stroll to a local bakery for fresh cinnamon buns; then go just past the bakery, to the right you’ll see the GORGEous view of the Mt. Ida waterfall.

Rainy day? No problem! The house has 3 floors of fun for you! The first floor of the apartment has a game room with classic board games and cards, an air hockey table, and a comfy pull out couch where you can snuggle away with a good book in front of the electric fireplace to keep warm or sleep to make room for more friends.

It also has an open floor plan on the same floor to enjoy cooking in the full kitchen (all pots and pans and dishes included), a dishwasher for easy clean up, a dining table for 4-6, and a large sectional in the living room. The living room has a smart TV with fast wifi for you to log into any of your favorite streaming services with your own accounts (no cable). 

Not up for being with the group or need to work a bit while your friends play? No problem! The 2nd floor of the apartment has two beautiful bedrooms that will make you want to sleep in and soak up quiet time with your loved one.

The master bedroom has a desk and small room for you to hide away and get those emails done quickly so you can enjoy the rest of your fun filled day.

The 2nd floor also has the full bathroom with a rain shower head and spray handle to give you the most soothing shower.

Teens that want to get away from the crowd or friends that want to watch a movie together? We’ve got you covered there, too! The 3rd floor of the apartment (4th floor of the building) is one big movie room! Watch your head with the sloped ceiling, but that ceiling will give you an amazing sound and theater experience. The movie room has a smart TV with fast wifi for you to log into any of your favorite streaming services with your own accounts (no cable or streaming service included). It also has a DVD player and a selection of DVD’s for you. There’s a microwave and popcorn in the movie room for you to enjoy your movies without needing to leave the room! 

One of a kind getaway for your whole family or group of friends! 

Perfect for short trips or longer stays! Only .6 miles away from RPI, 1 mile from Russell Sage College, and 1.5 miles from the Emma Willard School. So close! A perfect spot for EMPAC artists, RPI visitors, Emma and Russell Sage parents, or corporate travelers. Out of town guests that might want a special place to stay? Give them the treat of staying in this designer space.

We loved being able to do all the design for this space. We focused on using as much repurposed items we could for accents and furniture throughout the space! Making it green, beautiful, and one of a kind for your home away from home stay. If you love design, you can check out how we redid some of the room here.

If you’d like me to help you with design in your home (can be done virtually to help anyone in the US) or if you see anything in the photos you’d like in your home locally, let me know. We made most of the signs ourselves and build many of the furniture items throughout the space.

Thanks for being the best funcycler’s around!
