Jesse’s place is great, and exactly as advertised. Super clean, great communication with the host, safe and secure with easy access. Jesse includes any toiletries you may need if you forgot anything, there’s coffee and water provided in the common area kitchen, and he included a book of curated information about anything you can think of, including his recommendations for transportation, activities, and dining around the area. Great personal touch from the host. He was super accommodating for us with an earlier check-in and later check-out for stashing our luggage upon arrival and before our departure.
Truth be told, the area surrounding the apartment is not the nicest, but you probably won’t be spending much time there anyway. It’s a sub-10 minute walk to two different subway lines with easy access to the rest of Manhattan. While we never felt unsafe walking to or from the apartment, Jesse’s recommendation is to get a car service after dark and I concur (Uber, Lyft, and cab all work well).
We would stay here again, and I would recommend this place.
