The apartment was everything my friend and I could have wanted! This basement apartment stayed nice and cool in the summer heat even without using the window a/c, and was well-lit and comfortable. There are residents upstairs but the most we knew was just some footsteps.
Jamie let us check in early and left some fresh soda & water in the fridge which was much appreciated. She briefly dropped by when we arrived to personally check that everything was all set for us.
The alley entrance & parking space probably plays nicer with smaller cars, but I was very grateful to have a safe place to park during our stay. The 7 train is only three blocks away and passes through Grand Central for a very easy ride into Manhattan.
All around a very pleasant stay! Absolutely would book with Jamie again :)
