J's place is great. Exactly what our family needed for NY Marathon race weekend. It's 2 miles across the bridge from the start which was ideal. It was clean and fresh, had all the things a family would need for a stay. His mom was available for a little early of a check in as our plans moved a bit and he let us extend a day as well. We were provided some essentials in the fridge to start our first morning (bread, coffee, milk, OJ).
His ad is exactly as it says, close to subway, the last stop so at the end of a long day you don't even need to pay attention to the stops! Kids loved it and a little park across the street if they needed run around. Great water pressure, quiet from the outside noise, which was a concern (literally didn't hear anything) and enough room for family of 5 to all get along for a couple days.
Thanks, if I'm ever running NY Marathon again, I'll request to stay again!
Mike
