J is a great host and a very genuine kind man. The apartment is exactly what a traveller needs. Great bed and bathroom and very safe n secure. I highly recommend this place. The food outlets in the street are plentiful. Everything from traditional NY Deli to pasta pizza and general stores. A great food market 100 meters away uptown if you want to purchase groceries. Public transport is everywhere and only a block away for the subway and buse terminal. Perfect and value for money.
