Our stay at Jesse’s places was very nice and comfortable. The place is very clean and nice, and there is a great kitchen if you want to make your own breakfast or a cup of coffee. There are also a lot of nice and affordable grocery stores nearby. The place is very close to 125st where there are a lot of great connections to the subway system so you can get to downtown Manhattan in 20 min. or faster. The area can appear a little sketchy at first glance but it is actually really safe and quite. We stayed for 12 days and never felt unsafe returning to the place after dark.
