We had a wonderful time at Jason's place.
Pros:
1. Communication was great
2. Location: 10-15min walk to the Staten Island ferry
3. Comfortable bed
4. Plenty of hot water for showering
5. Nice kitchenette with apartment sized fridge/freezer, gas oven/stovetop.
6. Cable with lots of channels
7. Nice speed internet, with good wifi coverage in the apartment.
Cons:
1. None
Not a con, but a concern I had before arriving was street parking. I was overjoyed to have found a nice spot just around the corner and could see my car from the apartment window. ((Soooooo happy :) ))
Although not meeting Jason, he was always quick to reply to a message here on Airbnb.
We checked in with and chatted with his wife Ondine on a few occasions. She was so friendly and welcoming, offering several suggestions for local places close by.
I would look forward to staying with Jason and Ondine again for future visits to NYC.
