Jay's place was perfect for exploring NYC. It is huge by NYC apartment standards in this price range. We especially appreciated having two bathrooms (such a luxury). It allowed us the space to relax between adventures. Everything you need is within a few block radius...coffee, resteraunts, CVS, groceries... Jay was available immediately when we had questions. I am traveling with a dog and a car, and it was easy to have both in this neighborhood. There are several lots and street metered parking in the blocks surrounding the building. Note that there are two flights of narrow steep stairs in case that's an issue for you. The building and neighborhood felt safe day and night for dog walks and going for dinner. A great stay overall. highly recommend.
