Jamie is the best! He let us check in early and was my hero...he carried my HEAVY suitcase up the stairs even after I begged him not to. He actually took the majority of our stuff upstairs (my daughter's suitcase was heavy too)...we had a lot of stuff. The picture does not do the room justice...it doesn't show how large the room is. There was plenty of storage and he has a small refrigerator in the room along with a huge bean bag and a chaise lounge. And that TV! The house has two bathrooms, so there were no problems getting ready for work. The guys in the house are great and were extremely welcoming. I actually hated to leave. I was hoping his job would need him to move and I could just keep the room. The neighborhood is perfectly safe and everyone was friendly. Fifth Avenue has everything you'll ever need including a bus stop and Fourth Avenue has the rest..including the subway. Restaurants, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, banks, grocery stores, and shopping (clothing, shoes, beauty supplies) on Fifth Ave...laundry, delis and grocery stores are on fourth. I highly recommend staying at Jamie's place.
