There were some pros and cons about Jay’s place.
Pros: the location is great. Walking distance to Times Square and other attractions. There are lots of restaurants around the area too.
Cons: extremely loud. Above a bar, which isn’t so bad but the traffic and constant honking sounded as if I was sleeping outside. I was not expecting for it to sound as loud as it did so be prepared for that. I even had ear plugs because I heard the bar was below so I came prepared for that but the sounds from the street was so loud, I heard it though my ear plugs. The shower is really small and the water kept changing from hot and cold. The shower curtain also had an odor to it which made me feel a little dirty because it kept touching me. There is also this pipe by the window that has a cup under it which I believe is the heater. It collects water so you have to empty the cup every night and morning (if you’re out all day to make sure it doesn’t overflow) This was not mentioned in reviews or in the house rules book on the counter so I didn’t even know about this until I was there and saw the overflowed cup of water. This was also very loud as the bed is right next to it. It sounded like a loud hissing noise, as if a water pipe broke when it turned on.
Overall, the main thing I loved was the location. If I had an opportunity to come back, I would look for another place only because I felt the cons outweigh the pros.
