Jared was a great host. He welcomed me at the door and helped me figure out public transportation as soon as I arrived. I had access to the whole apartment except for the other private room - there was access to Netflix which was good to watch episodes of my favorite shows. Staying at Jared’s was great value for money. The listing appeared just as good as it looked in the pictures. The room was definitely bigger than I expected, I liked having the space. I had all the privacy I needed. It sometimes felt like I had the whole apartment to myself.
Jared’s a musician so sometimes there was music filtering through the apartment but not in an obnoxious way so it was fine listening to it. It’s in a safe and secure neighborhood, 5-minute walk to the beautiful Prospect park. 2-minute walk to the B and Q train that takes you to downtown Manhattan in about 30-minutes. The neighborhood has pretty much everything you need, restaurants, bars, I also had some nice meals from a Halal food cart just down the block.
Jared was very respectful and I felt at home in his apartment. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for that kind of homely feel with no frills. It’s great value for money, and I would be happy to stay here again in future visits.
