Jakob's place was the perfect "late-night find in a bind" for me on a bitterly cold night. My cell phone had died by the time I arrived near midnight and, along with it any check-in details I needed. As such, I was unsure of which of the rooms was actually mine but Jakob was right there to help me out. The room was very quiet, peaceful, and just what I needed. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had warm water pretty quickly--all I really needed at that point. Jakob is a really nice, helpful young man and host. This is about as good of a deal as you're likely to find anywhere in NYC.
