My stay here was very pleasant - just the right amount of socializing with JoJo and John, yet my privacy was also respected. The room was very comfortable with a lot of daylight on sunny days. A dresser and a place to hang my clothes were both provided. The bed was comfortable, and there was an armchair that was quite lovely for reading or listening to music. JoJo emptied the trash daily and cleaned the room (laundered towels and sheets, mopped, etc.) regularly. I was very comfortable as a woman by myself (I'm Paul's wife using his account) in the shared apartment as well as walking in the neighborhood any hour of the day or night - I often returned after 9 or 10 pm. There are two BEAUTIFUL parks nearby - one just steps away! There are lots of different places to eat within blocks of the apartment. One of my favorites was Guacamole Taqueria, just steps from the apartment. Also, my favorite coffee shop, Buunni's, is just a couple of blocks away. And don't forget to visit ChocNYC, also very close, if you want a delicious sweet treat or two! The basement was not available during my stay to do laundry or to take luggage into and out of the apartment building. JoJo offered to do my laundry for me, but I chose to take it elsewhere. There are about a dozen or so steps (divided into two sets) into the lobby of the apartment building to get to the elevator, so keep this in mind when thinking about carrying luggage. Also, if you are at all concerned about sharing space where the door to your room and to the bathroom don't latch or lock, know that your privacy is very respected by both JoJo and John.
