Jay's place had everything that we needed. He was very helpful and checked up on us if we needed supplies for our place. There were lots of little markets and restaurants around the area so we didn't need to go far in order to get some food. The neighbor hood was peaceful, but its New York so there's always going to be some type of noise at any time of the day and night. It is about a half mile walk to the nearest subway station, but you get to walk by a lot of different shops on the way so its not all that bad. Next time i am in New York i would love to stay here again if its available.
