The room at Jewel's place is really nice and comfortable. You can see that she puts a lot of love into that place and it makes you feel at home right away. She is the perfect host as it was always very easy to get in touch with her - as well before arrival as all along the way - and she was very helpful with any question that came up. The subway stations are close to the apartment, within easy walking-distance. To get into Manhattan it took us about half an hour by subway. We totally recommend Jewels place!
