JeanClaude was a great and responsive host. The location is literally minutes away from both the bus and Subway (20-ish minutes to central Manhattan), making it a great location if you just need a place to sleep while exploring New York. The room is as advertised, not much else besides a bed, but this was exactly what I needed. The door even has a lock and the area feels safe.
If you are a light sleeper you might want to bring earplugs since it's close to the road, but it wasn't an issue for me. Also appreciated having a shared kitchen so I could store leftovers or something to drink. Common areas are cleaned fairly often.
Would for sure recommend JeanClaudes place.
