OMG OMG OMG! Where to begin! What an amazing, most memorable, loving experience at Joris's Place ! Private, Affordable, 20 minutes to NYC! And it really is! First of all, I had communication with Joris at least six months in advance and he was great with keeping communication open with me even though I was so far ahead of schedule! The house itself is amazing! Just the perfect getaway with complete privacy. The furniture is nice and the rooms have great lighting! The pictures are not exaggerating because the apartment really looks that way! The attention to detail was just impressive! Joris gave us clean towels, bed sheets, the kitchen had eating utensils, plates, mugs, and random kitchen items. The rooms were vacuumed and there was no dust to be found! The actual apartment is located on the basement level of a three floor apartment building were you have your own private entrance going downstairs and you get your own private living room, work/study area, restroom has fantastic water pressure and really cool round glass sliding doors, wi-fi internet is blazing fast, a small refrigerator, large dining table with chairs and the master bedroom has a night stand, lamp, large bureau and its carpeted! The living room has a comfortable couch that sits three people comfortably and a cool coffee table for your morning coffee you can make using the french press located in the kitchenette area. My friend and I honestly thought that we would be coming in and out of the apartment to sleep since we were in town to visit New York City but what ended happening was we actually fell in love with Joris' place! I'll just say we actually stayed one of our nights IN! It felt that comfortable that not even NYC could entice us to leave the house! Joris gave us complete privacy, he was very courteous and gave us complete privacy. We only saw Joris twice and that was at check in and again a week later for check out. Joris was very flexible with both check in and check out times. Gave us plenty of time to check out since our flight didn't leave until 8 hours after original check out. I want to share with you something that happened at the house. I got a new tattoo on my arm and I accidentally got ink on the bedding and when I offered him to take the deposit to get new sheets Joris actually refused and said he would just wash them with extra hot water and hopefully that would do the trick. Just the fact that he would refuse the deposit and then clean up my mess gives you an idea of the kind of person he is. Amazing place, amazing owner, great customer service and I recommend this place to ANY of my friends or family and I plan to visit Joris' place again !
