Jose really deserves the great top host rating. The location is great for easy access to mass transit options while visiting NYC. There are multiple rooms so recommend renting one of the larger rooms. I stayed in he "tiny" room (accurate per Jose listing); it was comfortable for my two night stay.
I would stay with Jose again but in one of his two larger rooms (i.e., two larger rooms - four total counting Jose's room and the tiny room). As long as you are willing o sharing the space with other guests, Jose's place is great. Jose is a very attentive host.
