Jillian’s place was very clean and up to date. This was my first time in NYC and I wasn’t familiar with the areas. Her studio in East Harlem is around a 10 minute walk to the metro and another 15 minute ride into lower Manhattan with the metro, 20-25 minute ride with the bus. Her place as well is on the 3rd floor without an elevator for this traveling with large luggage. Overall her place was nice, clean, comfortable, and she was very attentive. I wish I was more aware of the distance from downtown though.
