I stayed for one night to attend a short symposium in lower Manhattan. This was the perfect place. Jackie was very hospitable and changed his plans to ensure that I obtained the key to his place. It is a private room, which was clean, with interesting and eclectic decor, and a decent size by Manhattan standards; it is exactly as it is featured on this site. Jackie's hospitality and flexibility to accommodate check in, reasonable price, and nice space makes this place one that I would recommend to anyone needing a place to stay in Manhattan without breaking the bank. Thanks again for everything, Jackie!
