Jason and his mom (Helen) were awesome. Especially Helen, who wanted to cook for me every time she saw me. :) The apartment is quite spacious for New York, and in a very funky area, with Orthodox Jews to the west and various Muslim contingents (among other groups) to the East. I enjoyed staying there very much, and of course with the subway station only 7 minutes away, all of New York was at my feet.
Just a great place at a great price, with super nice people.
