Jody was a very hospitable host. She was just upstairs but very respectful of space, letting us know that she was there to make our stay a pleasant one. She printed a guide for us and even came down by request to really describe the neighborhood and make my guest feel more comfortable travelling through the big apple for her first time. We didn't use any appliances but the kitchen was set up for us to cook in or eat out. The bed was comfortable and fit the two of us just fine. The A/C worked well and kept the space cool. The water was hot and the shower was very clean. (A little compact, but perfect for 2 individuals under 5'5".) I have nothing but great things to say about my stay.
