Kurt is the best Airbnb host I've ever had, and an expert on the Jumel Terrace Historic District. He not only knows the community, but he's an active and vital part of it and its history. Just the bookshelves alone will blow your mind. But things really get interesting when Kurt starts talking about who he knows, who he has met, etc. The neighborhood is safe, lively, picturesque, and historic. The train gets you into the heart of Manhattan in 15-20 minutes. Plenty of places to eat and drink, and lovely park space close by. Also, the Hudson and East River ... I'm definitely going back.
