Jake was extremely accommodating when I contacted him to rent his Airbnb the day before I was arriving in NYC. My prior arrangements had fallen through and he was lovely to do a quick turn around to oblige my last minute request. His communication was prompt and clear and pleasant. The location of the apartment was wonderful with direct access to the park across the street, closeness to the subway and a great, healthy market just down the street. He has helpful hand drawn maps that orient you to where you are in the neighborhood and the apartments relation to other neighborhood necessities (subway, markets, etc.)
