Jay's apartment is lovely and he is an outstanding host.
The apartment: sparkling clean and has everything you need. The room you'll stay in overlooks a train track but is totally quiet when you close the window. A very pleasant and comfortable space. Located at a transportation hub and city center meaning you definitely don't need a car, but even if you do have a vehicle, there are cheap parking spots to lease nearby.
The host: perceptive and skilled at putting people at ease, which is huge when it comes to hosting. Jay is warm and easy to talk to. He gives you space and lets you dictate how much or little you want to socialize, but so smoothly you won't notice what's happening. The result? I felt comfortable like I was in my own home. Definitely one of the best Airbnb experiences I have had.
