Jamal’s place was exactly as described, but even better. As someone who is diagnosed with perfectionist OCD and on medication for my condition, even I was very pleased with the cleanliness and condition of Jamal’s place. Anyone complaining or concerned about the area is simply not accustomed to the diverse neighborhoods of major cities. It is a safe area and close to everything. Jamal was exceptionally fast with responses to every question and request. I need a cool temperature for sleeping and Jamel quickly lowered the heat to like 60 degrees when I requested at around midnight. When I informed him that the smoke detector was giving off that persistent loud beep for low battery, he very quickly came and changed the battery. If you need to be near Manhattan and want a lovely place, but don’t want to pay the ridiculously high rates, book Jamel’s place. I do suggest sleeping in the living area if you need a completely quiet environment.
