From the very first time I had contacted Jack with an inquiry of staying in New York, he was one of the first people to get back with me. He had outstanding reviews from other parties who had previously stayed at his place and that made me feel very confident. I have very repetitive and am always questioning things, especially since Airbnb was brand new to me. Jack was quick to answer any question I had with the utmost respect for me. One thing that I really noticed and that was crucial to choosing his apartment, was the fact that he seemed very personable and for me that is something I look forward to. His place was perfect for a Wichita Kansas couple whom were willing to jump into the New York lifestyle for a week. It was in the perfect area and the diverse group of people that I would encounter on a regular basis was the highlight of my trip. His place is rather small, but it was just what we needed. My wife and I needed time (first vacation without our 16 month old son) to reconnect and have time for ourselves.
Jack was quick with the text when I had a question, but at the same time gave us our space. He earned even more respect than I had already had for him because of that. He had a few items in the house like Nutella, which I believe was gone after the first night! My bad.
With the location you are right by the L train which will get you anywhere on the subway. My wife and I were extremely pleased. The only downside, not to Jack's fault, was we had trouble falling asleep at times from the noise. Then again, we come from Kansas and it is very different and we embraced our new environment.
Although we had our own cell phones, he left one that had some nice apps and made finding things simple. I could go on and on about our wonderful experience. I ended up talking with him on the phone before we left and he was very well spoken and polite. I never had to worry about if he would get in touch or not. We appreciate that Jack. Thank you for everything. Also, there is an Italian Pastry shop right down stairs along with Jack's shop Russo's. Needless to say, we both ate well. I enjoyed staying in what I would consider real New York. The tourist areas for me are overrated. If you are figuring out where to stay, this would be a great option.
Again, thank you Jack for everything. Hope to see you sometime in the future.
