The description of the place is really accurate and honest. The room looks a bit smaller in reality than on the pictures but otherwise they're really faithful. The location is perfect, very near the subway, with groceries stores and restaurants around (I loved Zen Vegetarian House). I recommend it for an easy stay in NYC, as a solo woman traveler it's not always easy to feel safe and I did at Jean Paul's place. It was also easy to arrive. JP and I only met twice but he was really friendly.
