Jillian was kind and very responsive to communication. The space was as described, a basic small bedroom with access to the kitchen. I appreciated the shelving and hanging rack to put my clothes on. It was nice to be able to cook a small breakfast at the apt instead of going searching and spending money on breakfast in NYC! The location was convenient to the subway and the line took you right into Manhattan. There was another roommate or two and only one bathroom but it wasn't a problem. The roommates kept to themselves, as did Jillian who lived next door-- I only saw her when I checked in and she told me not to hesitate to contact her if I needed anything. All in all, a great first airbnb experience for us! The neighborhood isn't in the heart of anything, but like most places in NYC there are corner stores with everything you'd ever need everywhere and open late. I felt safe there. Thanks, Jillian!
