Jamal was a great host. We did not get to meet, but he was very quick to respond to all my questions and concerns. The apartment was really lovely and looked just like the pictures. Bathroom and kitchen were very clean. I appreciated the waters he had waiting, a small touch but much appreciated when you arrive late and need a minute to catch your breath & get settled. The location is great, found at least 3 great bars with live music on Saturday for a fun, walkable night out. Would definitely rent again when I'm heading back to NYC.
