I had two great experiences in a short time in Jesse's duplex, totaling about three and a half weeks or so. The room is just what you need, if you are looking to hold a place for a weekend or month-long visit to NYC. It's very well located, pretty much in the middle of Manhattan. I was easily able to get to everything I wanted to see, and I got a great feel for what the city was like. The room is off the street, so the room is quiet (and Jesse keeps a reasonably quiet residence); I had restful nights while I was visiting.

As a host, Jesse is perfect. He gives you space, yet he's extremely welcoming. We had a couple of nice chats that were a delight. Additionally, he's very professional in how he hosts: he's clean, he tends to sheets and towels regularly, and is very accommodating. He went above and beyond to help me find my way around town.
