we were very satisfied with our stay at Jared's place. he was gone the first one or two of our stay and he had a friend let us in. Both Jared and his friend were extremely communicative and we had no problem checking in. They were also very flexible with our check in time as we weren't sure what time exactly we'd arrive, which was much appreciated. the place was clean and a decent size room. The bed was a godsend we'd been in Philadelphia before arriving in New York on a full mattress that barely fit one of us let alone two so to have some more room to spread out was great. we had no problems with noise and felt perfectly safe coming and going from the apartment. Thank you again Jared for a great stay!
