Jackie is one of the best host that I ever met. He's friendly and helpful that provides us lots of information about this city. The monocle guide of nyc on the bookcase is really informative and it provides you few unique way to explore the city. He's place is great in general but there is a little bit problem about the heating. It's really really hot in the room and I felt like we were living in the tropic even though it was January. Overall it's a good experience and i would definitely recommend you stay here especially if you wanna live like a local.
