My friends and I came down to New York for a film festival and had the pleasure of staying in Majar's place. We were late arriving because half of our drive from Canada was in the worst storm we'd seen in years, but we kept in touch with him and he was there to greet us at the gate when we finally arrived, and he helped us store our car in a locked garage for the duration of our stay.

The room was clean, exactly as seen in the pictures and we had access to a shared bathroom and kitchen. Be aware that there is one bathroom for the whole floor, we didn't have a problem with it at all, but you should keep it in mind when booking. The kitchen was supplied with delicious Keurig coffee and there were fresh towels and soap, conditioner and shampoo for us to use if we wanted. There is also a shop on the corner, a few doors down, if you need anything. They were very friendly.

The neighborhood is in transition and my friend who is in real estate enjoyed walking around looking at the newly renovated houses. It was a short walk to the subway station and the J train took us right into Manhattan. We discovered the L line later and recommend it for access to many NY attractions. We had our own keys and were free to follow our own schedule, which was hectic!

Majar was a fantastic host and we had a great time in NY. 100% would stay there again :)
