I stayed here with a friend, we're both young females and always felt safe in the neighborhood. This house was in a great location (about a mile to the subway) which we either walked or took the bus. The room was cute and clean. It had a mini fridge and coffee maker which was super convenient. There was a TV in the room which was broke during our stay but it wasn't a big deal because we didn't go to NYC to watch tv. We didn't get the chance to meat Jean but she checked in with us and made sure everything was okay. We did meet her mom, Monique, and she was very kind and responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Overall, a wonderful place to stay and would recommend!
