Jed's place is really nicely situated between the East Village and Central Park, the neighborhood feels safe and friendly, there's loads of shops and eateries nearby and if (like us) you enjoy walking you're no more than 30 minute wander from The Math Museum, MoSex, MoMA, Grand Central and (a little further to Central Park). On your way there are loads of great coffee shops, stores and places to eat (including a bunch of great vegan options).
Jed's place made a great home base to come back to each night and even though we didn't spend a great deal of time in there (there's too much to see to be sitting about), on the one night that we did just lounge around, get takeaway and watch Hulu, the appartment is a lovely space to be in, that feels like a home away from home.
Jed is a great host, super accommodating of our arrival time, rapid communicator and very friendly. Would recommend!
