We loved staying at Jesse’s place! He was super communicative and friendly, providing a handy pdf with all instructions and details ahead of time.
The place itself is super spacious with a large dining/living/ common space, huge windows and high ceilings- we super appreciated the natural light! Both the rooms were great sized. Bathroom was very nice and came stocked with Dove shampoo and conditioner. The AC worked great and there were also large standing fans in each room which was great for keeping the cool air circulating. It was 96 and humid every day but the apartment stayed cool.
We had read comments from past guests mentioning the noise from the subway, so we came prepared with ear plugs, Advil pm, and eye masks. Luckily we are used to some city noise (live in San Francisco) and found the subways noises to be completely reasonable and none of us had troubles falling or staying asleep due to noise. The fans in the bedrooms also helped to mask the sound of the subway. We ended up just leaving our box of ear plugs there in case the next guests might benefit from them.
The location is super convenient- a grocery store, convenience store, liquor store, cute coffee shop, Lyft bike racks, all within a block or two. Literally steps from the subway which is SO nice for quickly getting to the city. Just 2 stops to our friends place in lower east side!
Altogether it was a great place to come home to after long days and late nights in the city!
