I had a great 10-day stay at Jeanette's place. Location is great - it's away from the craziness of Times Square, but easily accessible to the touristy places by subway. I took the subway from 157th every day. Really easy to get to, very frequent trains. There is a deli just across the road, larger grocery store and laundromat (and many other shops) within walking distance. People in the neighbourhood are friendly. Jeanette was a great host. I had a good amount of alone time (which I needed, as I was here on work), but Jeanette was also available if I had questions and for a nice chat. The building is an old one, but the room is nice and spacious, and the whole place is kept tidy and clean. Ginger is a lovely cat too. She's friendly and actually seems to like people! She does shed a bit though so beware of that before giving her cuddles. Overall, had a great time. Highly recommend :)
