Jabari’s place in the Bronx was great! I stayed there for a month while completing a clinical rotation at Montefiore. It was significantly more spacious than I thought it would be! The living room was enormous with a great big comfy couch and TV. There was also a small desk with a nice chair and plenty of chargers beside it. The dining room table was a nice size and was my study place of choice, because I could spread out my work. The kitchen was nice and there was a stove, oven, dishwasher, coffee pot, toaster, and an electric tea kettle. They all worked well. There was also a washing machine, so you could do laundry in unit and let it air dry. There were plenty of cleaning supplies and extra linens in the closet. The bathroom was also good and there were some toiletries but I brought my own. The bedroom was also spacious and nice.
The building was secure with a locked entry. The residents were very nice. One day I dropped my phone and a resident found it and left a note for me under my door where to get it! I thought I had just left it in the apartment that day, and I saw the note before I even went to look for it.
Jabari’s brother and sister also live in the building and are very nice. Jabari’s brother Caleb is the one who manages the place and was very courteous and prompt with communication. I didn’t have any needs while I was there other than to let Caleb know I had a guest coming one weekend. It was no problem and they added the guest to my stay when I had trouble putting in the request in on AirBnB.
The neighborhood felt safe, and the apartment is near the D line which is very convenient for getting to Montefiore Moses campus (takes you to 205 street and then just a 5 block walk to the hospital) and Manhattan/Brooklyn. It’s also 2 stops away from Yankee Stadium.
I really enjoyed my stay at Jabari’s in the Bronx! I would highly recommend!
