Jude was an awesome host. He always replyed quickly to any inquiries we had and is very polite and accommodating. The space itself is cozy and clean. It looks just as good as the pictures. Its on the first floor so no stairs needed to take our luggage up and down. It felt like a home away from home. The neighborhood is quiet (for newyork) and although only one person spoke to us the near by neighbors were friendly. Inside the building there were other tenants but we never even saw them, only heard them come in and out. There are plenty of stores and restaurants within walking distance no matter what way you walk up the street. And a few food places with free delivery as well. Overall we had a great experience.
