OVERALL STARS: 5. I do not know where to begin. I visited Jenna's place during Veterans Day weekend for my birthday. I was accompanied by four friends. Jenna's place was AMAZING. I do apologize for the extensive review, but I want everyone to know about my experience and hope you too book Jenna's place. You will not be disappointed.
Jenna's decor was amazing. Its stylish and modern. The hardwood floors are a great touch and makes the place feel more homey. The place looks exactly like the pictures. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable! She has everything you need and more. Everything is labeled and instructions are placed around the home so any questions you have are already answered. The place is equipped with A/C in every room, heat, washer/dryer, washing detergents, DOVE body wash, soap, shampoo, makeup wipes, extra towels, face cloths, pillows, comforters, and an additional blow up bed. She has designated towels for makeup, constant wifi/cable, and all other amenities you could dream of. She has all the basic cookware plus more. Jenna even had some condiments and spices for us to use.
Again, the place was super homey. Everyone that visited stated how cozy and nicely decorated it was. It was quite quiet in the area besides the usual noises of the city. Jenna's home has a great location. We walked at 3am in the morning to the bodega to get snacks. There was also several groceries in the area and a nice restaurant, Hamiltons, a few blocks away. The food was superb!
Jenna's place has a designated space for shoes outside the door so that we did not disturb the downstairs. Although we were a little noisy while walking up the stairs, Jenna was very polite and respectful in her approach. Jenna allowed for my guests and I to bring our own bluetooth box to play music and she did not disturb us or ask us to turn the music down at any point. However, We made sure to keep our noise level at a respectable volume.
Jenna was the best host; communication was super easy and her response time was quick. She checked in with us often just to make sure we were enjoying our stay. She wrote down her favorite places to visit and eat in a journal for us. That was so nice and thoughtful. We had a small issue with the tub clogging the 1st day. Once I notified Jenna, her husband came right up and fixed it. We made small conversation and he was as pleasant as Jenna. Because Jenna was so wonderful and gracious to us, we made sure to take out all the trash, recycle, wipe down the entire home, and wash all towels/linens just to make their job easier! I don't think you will find a better place or hostess like Jenna. If you are planning to visit NY and come across her home, please book it. You will not regret it!
Jenna and family, thank you again! I miss NY and your beautiful home already. I will be returning. :) :) :)
