Jennifer is a super friendly and accomodating host. She greeted us personally and the whole family gave us a warm welcome into their home, yet gave us enough private space. The appartment is very nice and clean, bed was comfortable and the room had a fan to keep it nice and cool in the midst of summer heat. The Metro is only a 5 minute walk away and takes about 1h to get anywhere in Manhattan. We also liked the Bronx neighborhood around very much. This was a really good experience, we highly recommend staying here, if you are looking for a nice, clean and not-so-anonymous place! :-)
