We enjoyed our two week stay at Jewel's place very much :) Communication was extremly friendy and super fast! The building is located only 3 minutes from the subway station and has a few good restaurants and grocery stores in walking distance. The room was spacious with lots of storage room for our suitcases / carry ons. The bed was clean and comfortable. The A/C unit helped us sleep comfortably but is quite loud, as is the traffic noise from the busy street. After a short adaptation period, we slept well but this info might be interesting to light sleepers. We shared the bathroom with our hostess herself and the occupants of the second guest room (up to 5 persons total). It was cleaned regularly and we never had to wait more than 30 minutes to access it. The shared kitchen was well equiped and we especially appreciated the BRITA waterfilter in the fridge, which saved us having to constantly buy bottled water. It was the perfect "home base" for our first NYC trip and we would definitely stay here again :)
