Jason's place was great. We stayed there for 3 weeks since we were both working remotely in NY for the month of May. The apartment was perfect for the two of us - a huge plus was the in-unit washer and dryer (which is rare for NY!)
We didn't spend too much time in the neighborhood, but it was pretty convenient to get to from anywhere considering its close to the 1 and the AC/BD. We did most of our grocery shopping near work rather than in the neighborhood. The area was a little quiet but since the subway was only a few blocks away it felt quite safe even late at night.
While we didn't meet Jason in person, and communication was limited to key pickup/drop off, he gave us some great tips on the apartment and local spots to try out. Despite being abroad in Asia, he was very quick to coordinate the key drop off which we really appreciated :)
We recommend this place especially for those looking for a longer term stay!
Thanks for your hospitality Jason!
