Stayed 4 nights at Jk’s place. Jk was a great host – very friendly, quick to respond, great communication. He was very welcoming and accommodating. Really appreciated the flexibility of the check in time and his genuine concern during my arrival (my flight arrived in JFK at a very odd hour). Very attentive and checked in frequently to see how I was or if I needed anything all throughout my stay, but also very respectful of my privacy. The place was in a nice, quiet and safe neighborhood at an excellent location – good security, walking distance to Columbia and to public transpo (the subway 1 train, B/C trains; cabs and buses). Everything you’ll need during your stay is within walking distance – in the immediate vicinity, there are lots of eateries, food trucks, Duane Reade, several grocery stores including a 24 hour grocery, post office, etc. There are even two small parks nearby. As you walk towards Columbia you’ll find even more options. The room is big and clean, with good lighting (room light and a lamp with 2 lighting options), with A/C, a large working desk, a closet where you can hang your clothes– you can generally come and go without bothering the other occupants. Bathroom was clean, strong water, hot and cold. The place was just perfect for my needs. I would definitely recommend Jk’s place – looking forward to staying there again next time I’m in the area. Thanks Jk!
