The location of Jason's apartment is great. The neighborhood feels very safe and is less busy than many other parts of Manhattan. Public transport takes you all over town in no time but many interesting places / sights are also within a walking distance. There is also a grocery store, laundry, great bagel place, restaurants, etc. near by. The apartment was very clean and exactly as in the pictures. The bed was amazingly comfortable! There was even a little Christmas tree in the apartment during our stay, which was a nice touch :) Jason left us good instructions how to get to the apartment and about his favorite places around. The only negative point was that when the temperature got really low outside (-5c) the apartment got very cold. Other days (at 0c) it was fine. This was on our last two days in the apartment and unluckily Jason was traveling at the same time so we didn't really get help for this problem. However, Jason is good host and will surely explain to you if there is something to prevent the cold. Just ask him if you are in doubt. I would recommend staying at Jason's!
