Jose’s place was great. It was VERY basic, the most simple of places. It was very clean which meant I felt comfortable using their sheets and towels (I usually bring my own as you never know what to expect).
The apartment was old but was kept up to the point where it didn’t feel dirty or as if everything was broken down, you can tell it was just older. There was also a decent amount of space in the bedroom and in the common area. Also, great hardwood floors throughout where I felt comfortable walking in my clean socks.
CHECK IN:
Ernesto was so great checking me in, he had a nice and peaceful energy to him. He made sure I saw everything before he left and also made sure I could work the lock on the door. Ernesto had me check out the apartment in its entirety to know I was satisfied.
There were 3 bedrooms: two bedrooms share a bath in the hallway and the third bedroom had an en-suite.
LOCATION:
It was a good price for the location, however it was anywhere from a 10-15 min walk to the train (depending on your speed). That can be a very treacherous walk in the NY winters (I’ve done it before!), but quite lovely in the warmer seasons.
Also, during the night you may hear airplanes. It wasn’t an issue for me.
BATHROOM:
They provide bar hand soap and not liquid incase you have a preference.
There was markings around the tub drain and handle but literally just from wear and tear. It’s completely clean.
KITCHEN:
Seemed fully stocked. I was only there two days so I didn’t use it.
Overall, I had a great stay. Jose’s place was great for a brief trip and would be equally great as long-term. I would stay again.
