I just stayed with a friend at Jerbean's for one week and it was simply great. Jerbean is a wonderful host, who enjoys meeting and talking to people and does whatever he can to make his guests feel at home. The room he offers is excellent for two people, clean, spacious and comfortable, with an "exclusive" half bath on the same floor (one can also use the full bath with shower & tube downstairs). Everything is very well maintained. The neighborhood is nice and very quiet, and we were at a mere 10-minute walking distance from subway line A (Utica station). I would stay here again for sure!
