Jesse was the perfect host--very kind & welcoming, helping my daughter and me with our bags, providing us with an area map, & giving us tips about the area. He was non-intrusive, yet available whenever needed. The accommodations were basic and perfect for us, with our own upstairs entrance access so we didn't have to go through Jesse's living quarters when going in or out. We shared a bathroom with guests in another room, and that worked out fine. The location was ideal, as we walked to practically every destination. Subway access was nearby. Highly recommend this listing for a visit to NYC!
